Asc Engineered Solutions 311036404 Reducing Tee 3/8x1/4x3/8

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 311036404 is a galvanized malleable iron reducing tee designed for threaded pipe systems in commercial and residential plumbing, HVAC, and gas distribution applications. The fitting connects a 3/8 inch run on both ends with a 1/4 inch branch outlet, allowing a reduction in branch line size without additional fittings. Malleable iron construction provides the ductility needed to resist mechanical stress in vibration-prone systems, while the galvanized coating adds corrosion resistance for exposed or mildly corrosive environments. At 0.22 pounds, this is a compact, production-grade fitting suited for tight spaces and high-volume service work.

This reducing tee is used in threaded pipe assemblies where a main line run must branch off at a smaller diameter. Typical applications include gas supply lines, compressed air distribution, water distribution headers, and HVAC hydronic piping. Domestically produced, it meets the dimensional and material expectations of licensed pipefitters and plumbers working to standard thread specifications. The 3/8 inch by 1/4 inch by 3/8 inch configuration is a common stock size kept on service vehicles and at job-site supply areas.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction resists cracking under mechanical stress and vibration
• Galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for exposed and mildly harsh environments
• Reducing tee configuration combines run and branch reduction into a single fitting
• 3/8 inch by 1/4 inch by 3/8 inch size suits common branch-line reduction scenarios
• Domestically produced for consistent dimensional tolerancing
• Lightweight at 0.22 pounds, easy to stock in quantity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded replacement fitting for standard NPT threaded pipe systems in plumbing, gas, and HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code where relevant. Shut off the water, gas, or air supply and relieve system pressure before making any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as cracking at the threads can occur.
