Asc 2X1DX1.BMT Reducing Tee 2x1.5x1 in Fnpt 150lb Malleable Iron

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 2X1DX1.BMT is a malleable iron reducing tee designed for threaded pipe assemblies in gas, air, and general plumbing distribution systems. It features a 2-inch run with a 1-1/2-inch outlet and a 1-inch branch, all threaded to FNPT standards. Rated at 150 lb, it handles the pressure demands typical of commercial and industrial piping. The black finish is standard for gas-line service. Domestic manufacture supports traceability requirements on job sites where material origin must be documented. Plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This reducing tee suits residential and light commercial applications where a main pipe run must be stepped down and branched simultaneously. Common uses include gas distribution headers, compressed air systems, and hydronic piping where multiple pipe sizes converge at a single junction. The three-port reducing configuration eliminates the need for a separate bushing or reducing coupling at the branch, simplifying the assembly and reducing potential leak points in the system.

Key Features

• Three-way reducing configuration handles two size transitions in a single fitting
• FNPT threads on all three ports for standard tapered pipe thread connections
• 150 lb pressure rating suitable for gas, air, and water service
• Malleable iron construction provides ductility and impact resistance compared to cast iron
• Black finish makes this fitting appropriate for natural gas and propane piping
• Domestic manufacture supports material documentation and traceability requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard FNPT threaded piping systems using 2-inch, 1-1/2-inch, and 1-inch nominal pipe sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) depending on the service. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before makeup. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack if excessive force is applied.
