Asc 1XEX1.BMT Reducing Pipe Tee 1x3/4x1 in Fnpt 150lb Black Iron

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 1XEX1.BMT is a reducing pipe tee rated for 150 lb service, manufactured from black malleable iron with female national pipe taper (FNPT) threads on all three outlets. The run measures 1 inch on both ends with a 3/4-inch branch outlet, making it a standard reducing configuration for branching off a main line to a smaller lateral. It is a domestically produced fitting intended for use by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in gas, steam, and general industrial piping assemblies.

This fitting is commonly used in residential and light commercial piping systems where a branch takeoff at a reduced size is required. Typical applications include natural gas distribution piping, compressed air systems, steam lines, and water systems operating within the pressure limits of a 150 lb malleable iron fitting. The black finish is standard for gas piping installations and is compatible with conventional pipe dope and PTFE thread sealants.

Key Features

• Reducing tee configuration: 1 x 3/4 x 1 inch run-by-branch dimensions
• FNPT threads on all three ports for standard threaded pipe connections
• 150 lb pressure class malleable iron construction
• Black finish suitable for gas piping per common code requirements
• Domestically manufactured fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded 150 lb malleable iron piping systems using 1-inch and 3/4-inch nominal pipe sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly, and tighten to a wrench-tight fit using a pipe wrench. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as the material is subject to cracking under excessive force.
