Asc Engineered Solutions 8700120655 Black Iron Tee 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700120655 is a 1-1/2 inch malleable black iron tee fitting used in threaded pipe systems for plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping applications. Manufactured from malleable iron to ASTM A-197 standards, this flat-banded tee provides a durable, rigid connection point where a branch line intersects a main run. Thread dimensions conform to ANSI B-2.1 and overall fitting dimensions conform to ANSI B-16.3, ensuring drop-in compatibility with standard NPT threaded pipe and fittings. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in black iron gas lines, fire protection systems, and general industrial piping.

This tee is suited for residential and commercial black iron pipe systems where a threaded branch takeoff is required. Typical applications include natural gas distribution piping, steam heating systems, compressed air lines, and general mechanical piping. The flat banded design is standard for malleable iron fittings in these service environments. Installation is performed by licensed tradespeople working to applicable code requirements including IFGC or IPC as relevant to the service.

Key Features

• Malleable black iron construction per ASTM A-197 chemical and physical property requirements
• Flat banded tee pattern — standard configuration for threaded black iron systems
• Thread form per ANSI B-2.1 for compatibility with standard NPT pipe threads
• Fitting dimensions per ANSI B-16.3
• Meets Federal Specification WW-P-521F
• 1-1/2 inch size suits common branch connections in gas, steam, and mechanical piping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 1-1/2 inch NPT threaded black iron pipe systems conforming to ANSI B-16.3 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, or IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before cutting in or replacing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service — gas, steam, or water — before making up threads. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.
