Asc Engineered Solutions 1BXE.BMT Reducing Tee Fnpt 150lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 1BXE.BMT is a malleable iron pipe reducing tee designed for threaded pipe assemblies in gas, air, and water distribution systems. It features female NPT (FNPT) threads on all three ports and a reducing outlet at 3/4 inch on the branch, with 1-1/4 inch run ports. Rated at 150 lb, this fitting handles the working pressures common in residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping. The black finish is standard for gas-service fittings. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas technicians are the primary installers.

This reducing tee suits residential and light commercial applications where a branch connection steps down from a 1-1/4 inch main run to a 3/4 inch lateral. Typical uses include natural gas and propane distribution manifolds, compressed air headers, and water supply roughin work. The FNPT connection type makes it compatible with standard threaded black iron and galvanized pipe cut and threaded to NPT standards. Domestically manufactured to meet standard pipe fitting quality requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or gas technicians depending on the service. Shut off and depressurize the supply line fully before disassembling any threaded fittings.
