Asc Engineered Solutions 1BX1XE.NMT Reducing Tee Fnpt

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 1BX1XE.NMT is a malleable iron reducing tee rated at 150 lb with female NPT (FNPT) connections on all three outlets. It steps down from a 1-1/4 inch run to a 1 inch run, with a 3/4 inch branch outlet, making it a standard three-way fitting for reducing pipe diameter within a distribution line. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in wet or exposed environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in threaded pipe systems where flow must be split or redirected while changing pipe size. Domestically manufactured to standard malleable iron fitting tolerances.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial threaded pipe systems including water distribution, gas supply, and steam lines rated within 150 lb pressure class. It is suited for new construction and retrofit work where a branch connection is needed while simultaneously reducing pipe diameter. The FNPT thread pattern is compatible with standard NPT male-threaded pipe and nipples. Typical applications include boiler supply and return piping, gas distribution headers, and general plumbing roughed-in with Schedule 40 threaded pipe.

Key Features

• Reducing tee configuration: 1-1/4 inch x 1 inch x 3/4 inch for multi-size pipe transitions
• 150 lb pressure class malleable iron construction
• FNPT connections on all three ports for standard NPT threaded pipe
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet or exposed environments
• Domestically manufactured

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 150 lb class threaded malleable iron pipe systems using standard NPT pipe in 1-1/4 inch, 1 inch, and 3/4 inch sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack if excessive torque is applied.
