Asc Engineered Solutions 310526009 Malleable Iron Tee

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 310526009 is a reducing malleable iron tee rated to Extra Heavy (XH) strength, designed for use in black iron pipe systems where durability and pressure performance are required. Manufactured to ASTM A-197 material specification and pressure-rated per ASME B16.3, this tee connects two 2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) run ends to a 0.5-inch FPT branch outlet. Threads conform to ASME B1.20.1 for reliable sealing with standard tapered pipe threads. The black finish is standard for gas, fire suppression, and industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and fire protection contractors are the primary installers.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial black iron pipe assemblies, including natural gas distribution, fire sprinkler branch lines, and general industrial piping where an XH-rated reducing tee is specified. The UL and FM listings support use in fire protection system installations where listed components are required by code. The 2 x 2 x 0.5-inch reducing configuration is common when a smaller branch takeoff is needed from a full-size 2-inch main line.

Key Features

• Extra Heavy (XH) strength rating for demanding pressure applications
• Manufactured to ASTM A-197 malleable iron material specification
• Pressure rating per ASME B16.3; threads per ASME B1.20.1
• All three connections are female pipe thread (FPT) for standard tapered pipe engagement
• UL and FM listed, supporting use in fire protection piping systems
• Black finish standard for gas and fire suppression line compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation malleable iron tee for black iron pipe systems using 2-inch and 0.5-inch NPT-threaded components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes, including IFGC for gas piping and NFPA 13 for fire sprinkler systems. Shut off gas supply or depressurize the pipe system fully before disassembling or threading any fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service type before assembly. Do not over-tighten; follow standard wrench-tight practice for malleable iron NPT fittings.
