Asc Engineered Solutions 1BX1.BMT Pipe Reducing Tee

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 1BX1.BMT is a black malleable iron pipe reducing tee rated at 150 lb, designed for threaded piping systems in commercial and residential applications. It features female national pipe taper (FNPT) threads on all three ports, with a run size of 1-1/4 inches by 1-1/4 inches and a branch outlet of 1 inch. This fitting allows a branch takeoff at a reduced diameter from the main pipe run. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in gas distribution, compressed air, and general-purpose black iron piping systems where a branch connection and size reduction are needed at a single point.

This reducing tee is suited for new construction and retrofit piping in residential and light commercial settings. Typical applications include natural gas distribution piping, steam systems, and compressed air lines where FNPT threaded connections and a 150 lb pressure rating meet the system requirements. The domestic manufacture designation indicates the fitting is produced in the United States, which is relevant for projects with domestic-content specifications or government procurement requirements.

Key Features

• Reducing tee configuration: 1-1/4 inches x 1-1/4 inches run by 1 inch branch outlet
• FNPT threads on all three ports for standard threaded pipe connections
• 150 lb pressure class malleable iron construction
• Black finish suitable for gas and general-purpose piping applications
• Domestically manufactured fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 150 lb malleable iron threaded piping systems using FNPT connections in the stated 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 piping system completely before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the fitting. Do not overtighten threaded joints, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive force.
