Asc Engineered Solutions 1B.BMC 1-1/4 in Pipe Coupling

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 1B.BMC is a straight pipe coupling designed for joining threaded pipe sections in a continuous run. Manufactured from malleable iron with a black finish, this coupling features female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) threads on both ends and is rated for 150 lb service. It accommodates 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size. Plumbers and pipefitters use this fitting where a reliable, full-bore threaded connection is required in gas, water, or general-purpose piping systems.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where malleable iron fittings are specified. Typical applications include natural gas distribution lines, steam systems, and water supply runs. The 150 lb pressure rating makes it appropriate for standard-service threaded pipe assemblies. It is domestically produced, which can satisfy job specifications calling for domestic-origin fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembling or making up new connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Tighten to hand-snug first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve a proper thread engagement without over-stressing the fitting.
