Asc Engineered Solutions 8700121505 Black Iron Reducing Tee

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700121505 is a reducing malleable black iron tee designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. Built to standard malleable iron specifications, this flat-banded fitting connects a 3/4-inch run on the A and B sides to a 1/2-inch outlet on the C middle port. The reducing configuration allows branch takeoffs at a smaller diameter without additional bushings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications where iron pipe is required by code or design.

This tee is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems using black iron or galvanized pipe. It is commonly installed in gas supply lines, steam heating distribution, and general-purpose fluid conveyance where threaded iron fittings are specified. The flat banded body provides secure wrench engagement during makeup. Sizing follows the A-side, B-side, C-middle sequence: 3/4 inch run, 3/4 inch run, 1/2 inch branch outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code or International Plumbing Code where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before disassembling or making up any threaded connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to a snug, leak-free fit using a pipe wrench. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as excessive torque can crack the fitting body.
