Asc Engineered Solutions 8700122008 Reducing Malleable Iron Tee

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700122008 is a reducing malleable iron tee designed for threaded black iron pipe systems. It connects two run-side ports at 1-1/4 inches and steps down to a 3/4-inch branch outlet, making it a practical choice for redistributing flow in low-pressure piping systems. The flat-banded construction conforms to ANSI B-16.3 dimensional standards and ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread requirements, with material properties meeting ASTM A-197 for chemical and physical compliance. Sizes are listed in A side, B side, and C middle sequence. The fitting weighs 1.06 pounds and is sold individually. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial black iron pipe installations, including gas distribution, steam, and hydronic heating systems where a branch takeoff at a reduced diameter is required. The 1-1/4-inch run by 3/4-inch outlet configuration is commonly used to split or redirect flow from a main run to a smaller branch line. Installation follows standard threaded pipe practices per applicable mechanical and plumbing codes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded joints, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive force.
