Asc 1DX1BXE.BMT Malleable Iron Reducing Tee 1.5x1.25x0.75 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 1DX1BXE.BMT is a black malleable iron reducing tee rated at 150 lb for use in threaded pipe systems. It connects a 1-1/2 inch run to a 1-1/4 inch outlet with a 3/4 inch branch, using female NPT threads on all three ports. Malleable iron construction gives this fitting the ductility and mechanical strength needed for gas distribution, compressed air lines, and general plumbing services operating under moderate pressure. The black finish provides standard corrosion resistance appropriate for dry or gas-service applications. Domestic manufacture supports traceability requirements on regulated job sites.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a single threaded fitting must transition flow across three different pipe sizes. Typical applications include natural gas branch lines, propane distribution manifolds, industrial compressed air systems, and steam or water piping within its pressure class. The three-way reducing geometry simplifies layouts that would otherwise require multiple fittings and additional threaded joints.

Key Features

• 150 lb pressure class for moderate-pressure gas, air, and water service
• Malleable iron body provides ductility and resistance to impact and vibration
• FNPT threads on all three ports allow direct connection to standard NPT male pipe
• Reducing configuration: 1-1/2 inch run, 1-1/4 inch outlet, 3/4 inch branch
• Black finish suited for gas and dry-service piping
• Domestic manufacture supports material traceability and code compliance documentation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 150 lb malleable iron threaded piping systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements for gas piping systems. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing any existing fitting or threading in this tee. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly, and tighten to a snug engagement without over-torquing malleable iron threads. Do not use this fitting on systems where service conditions exceed the published 150 lb pressure class rating.
