Asc Engineered Solutions 8700120358 Black Iron Tee 1/4 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700120358 is a 1/4 inch malleable black iron tee fitting used to create branch connections in threaded pipe systems. Built to flat banded standard malleable iron construction, this tee meets Federal Specification WW-P-521F, ANSI B-16.3 for dimensions, ANSI B-2.1 for pipe threads, and ASTM A-197 for chemical and physical properties. Weighing 0.176 pounds, it is sized for light commercial and residential piping applications where a reliable, code-recognized fitting is required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting in gas, steam, and water distribution systems.

This tee is suited for threaded piping installations in residential and light commercial settings. It is commonly used in natural gas distribution lines, low-pressure steam systems, and general water supply piping where black iron fittings are specified. The 1/4 inch size targets smaller branch lines and instrument connections. Standard NPT threading ensures compatibility with conventional threaded pipe and fittings throughout the system.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code, or the International Plumbing Code. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling or assembling any threaded fittings. Apply listed thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns for the pipe diameter. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as this can crack the fitting body.
