Asc Engineered Solutions 1BXD.NMT Reducing Tee 150 Lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 1BXD.NMT is a malleable iron reducing tee with a galvanized finish, rated at 150 lb for use in low-pressure threaded piping systems. It features an NPS end style with nominal dimensions of 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 x 1/2 inches, allowing a branch takeoff to a smaller line without additional reducers. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for use in moisture-prone environments. This fitting is domestically manufactured and suited for gas, air, water, and steam service within the rated pressure class. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This reducing tee is designed for threaded pipe assemblies in residential and light commercial mechanical systems. The 1-1/4 inch run with a 1/2 inch branch outlet is a common configuration for plumbing distribution headers, gas piping branch feeds, and compressed air supply lines. The 150 lb malleable iron construction meets standard requirements for low-pressure service, and the galvanized finish makes it appropriate for exposed or damp locations where bare iron would corrode.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 x 1/2 inch nominal reducing configuration for branch takeoff to a smaller diameter line
• 150 lb pressure class rated malleable iron construction
• NPS threaded end style for standard pipe thread assembly
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in damp or exposed environments
• Domestically manufactured to standard malleable iron fitting specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/4 inch NPS threaded piping systems requiring a 1/2 inch branch outlet in 150 lb malleable iron service.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC depending on service type. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply listed thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns for the pipe size. Do not over-tighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
