Asc Engineered Solutions 1BX1X1B.BMT Pipe Reducing Tee

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 1BX1X1B.BMT is a malleable iron reducing tee designed for threaded pipe assemblies in gas, steam, and water distribution systems. It features a 1-1/4 x 1 x 1-1/4 inch configuration with female NPT (FNPT) threads on all three ports, allowing a branch line at a reduced 1-inch diameter off a 1-1/4 inch run. Rated at 150 lb, this black-finish fitting delivers the mechanical strength and pressure capacity required in commercial and industrial piping work. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters rely on this type of fitting for reliable, leak-resistant threaded connections in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a 1-inch branch must be taken off a 1-1/4 inch main line. Common applications include gas distribution piping, hydronic heating systems, compressed air lines, and general-purpose water supply. The black finish is standard for gas piping applications. Domestically manufactured, it meets the dimensional and material standards expected for 150 lb class malleable iron fittings.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 x 1 x 1-1/4 inch reducing configuration for branch takeoffs off a full-size run
• Female NPT threads on all three ports for compatibility with standard threaded pipe
• 150 lb pressure class rating suitable for gas, steam, and water service
• Malleable iron construction provides impact resistance and ductility versus cast iron
• Black finish standard for gas piping installations
• Domestically manufactured fitting

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) as appropriate to the service. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before disassembling or assembling any threaded fitting. Apply listed pipe 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 can crack under excessive force.
