Asc Engineered Solutions 1BXE.BML Reducing 90 Deg Elbow

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 1BXE.BML is a reducing 90-degree street elbow fitting used to change direction in a threaded pipe run while simultaneously stepping down from a 1-1/4 inch to a 3/4 inch connection. Constructed from black malleable iron and rated at 150 lb, this fitting handles the mechanical stress and thermal cycling common in gas distribution, compressed air, and steam systems. The female NPT (FNPT) threads on both ends ensure a standard tapered thread engagement. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in commercial and residential applications where a directional change and a reduction are needed at the same junction point.

This elbow is suited for low-pressure gas piping, compressed air lines, steam systems, and general industrial plumbing where malleable iron fittings are required by code or design spec. The 150 lb pressure rating and black iron finish make it a standard choice for above-ground gas pipe runs, boiler rooms, and mechanical rooms. It is domestically manufactured, which satisfies project requirements that call for domestic-origin fittings under buy-American provisions or project specifications.

Key Features

• Reducing configuration transitions from 1-1/4 inch to 3/4 inch in a single fitting
• 90-degree elbow geometry changes pipe direction without additional fittings
• 150 lb pressure-rated malleable iron construction for durability under thermal and mechanical stress
• Female NPT threads on both ends for standard tapered thread engagement
• Black iron finish compatible with gas, steam, compressed air, and industrial fluid systems
• Domestically manufactured to meet project origin requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 150 lb malleable iron FNPT reducing elbow compatible with 1-1/4 inch and 3/4 inch Schedule 40 threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial gas, steam, and compressed air piping.

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 system fully before disassembling any threaded joints. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before make-up; do not apply sealant to female threads. Verify that all joints are leak-tested at system pressure before returning the line to service.
