Asc Engineered Solutions 311042808 Reducing Tee 1.25x0.5 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 311042808 is a galvanized malleable iron reducing tee designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. The fitting measures 1-1/4 inches by 1/2 inches and weighs 1.19 pounds. Its galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in exposed or mildly corrosive environments. Malleable iron construction gives the fitting the ductility needed to withstand mechanical stress and vibration without cracking, making it a reliable choice for permanent threaded connections in both commercial and residential installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a branch connection at a reduced pipe size is required. Common uses include water supply lines, gas piping, compressed air distribution, and general mechanical systems where NPT-threaded galvanized fittings are specified. The domestically manufactured construction supports projects with domestic-content requirements or procurement preferences.

Key Features

• Galvanized coating for corrosion resistance in standard service environments
• Malleable iron construction provides ductility and resistance to mechanical stress
• 1-1/4 in x 1/2 in reducing configuration allows branch takeoffs at a smaller pipe size
• NPT-threaded ends for standard threaded pipe assembly
• Domestically manufactured

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT-threaded galvanized piping systems using 1-1/4 inch main line and 1/2 inch branch connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC depending on the service application. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten malleable iron fittings, as excessive force can crack the fitting body.
