Asc Engineered Solutions 810053009 Malleable Iron Reducing Tee

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 810053009 is a black malleable iron reducing tee designed for threaded pipe assemblies in gas, air, and fluid distribution systems. At 2.5 inches on the run with a 1-inch branch outlet, this fitting allows a line reduction at a tee junction without additional bushings. Weighing 2.84 pounds, the casting carries a black coating that provides baseline corrosion resistance in typical indoor piping environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting wherever a branch takeoff is needed at a reduced port size in a threaded iron pipe system.

This reducing tee suits residential and light commercial piping applications including natural gas distribution, compressed air lines, and steam or water systems rated for standard malleable iron fittings. The 2.5-inch by 1-inch configuration is a common size in mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and utility gas lines where a main run feeds a smaller branch circuit. Installation follows standard NPT threading practices.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides strength and impact resistance in threaded piping systems
• Black coating finish for use in gas and air service applications
• 2.5-inch run x 1-inch branch reducing configuration eliminates the need for a separate bushing at the tee
• NPT threaded ends for compatibility with standard threaded pipe and fittings
• 2.84-pound cast body suitable for permanent, fixed piping installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded iron pipe systems in gas, air, water, and steam service where malleable iron reducing tees are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code or International Plumbing Code. Shut off and depressurize the line before cutting in or replacing any fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench and backup wrench technique to avoid cracking the casting or stripping threads.
