Asc Engineered Solutions 1BX1XE.BMT Reducing Tee 150 Lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 1BX1XE.BMT is a malleable iron reducing tee rated for 150 lb service, designed for threaded pipe assemblies using female national pipe taper (FNPT) connections. The fitting connects a 1-1/4 inch run to a 1 inch run with a 3/4 inch branch outlet, making it suitable for reducing flow paths within a system without the need for additional bushings or adapters. The black finish is standard for gas and industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in both new construction and retrofit work.

This reducing tee is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where branch lines step down from a larger supply main. Typical applications include natural gas distribution, compressed air lines, and general industrial fluid conveyance. The FNPT thread pattern conforms to ANSI standards, allowing the fitting to mate with standard NPT-threaded pipe, nipples, and valves across manufacturers. Domestic manufacturing supports projects requiring American-made components.

Key Features

• Three-way reducing configuration: 1-1/4 inch x 1 inch x 3/4 inch for flexible branch line sizing
• 150 lb pressure rating suitable for gas, air, and water service at standard working pressures
• FNPT threads on all three ports for compatibility with standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings
• Malleable iron construction provides impact resistance and ductility compared to cast iron
• Black finish standard for gas piping applications per common industry practice
• Domestically manufactured

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded piping systems rated at 150 lb service class in gas, air, and fluid distribution applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following 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 hand-snug plus the appropriate number of turns using a pipe wrench. Pressure-test the completed assembly before returning the system to service.
