Asc Engineered Solutions 1BXE.NMC Reducing Coupling 150 Lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 1BXE.NMC is a malleable iron reducing coupling designed to connect two threaded pipes of different diameters in a single inline fitting. Rated at 150 lb, it accepts 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe on one end and 3/4 inch nominal pipe on the other, both with female NPT (FNPT) threads. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in wet or exposed environments. This fitting is domestically manufactured and suited for installation by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on gas, water, or general-purpose piping systems.

This reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial piping applications where a diameter change is required in a threaded piping run. Typical install scenarios include transitioning from a main supply line to a smaller branch line in gas distribution, potable water, or steam systems rated within the 150 lb pressure class. The FNPT end style allows direct connection to standard NPT-threaded pipe or nipples without additional adapters.

Key Features

• Reduces from 1-1/4 inch nominal to 3/4 inch nominal in a single fitting
• Female NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded pipe connection
• 150 lb pressure class rating for gas, water, and steam service
• Malleable iron construction for durability and impact resistance
• Galvanized finish for corrosion protection in wet or exposed environments
• Domestically manufactured

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing any existing fittings or installing this coupling. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten; follow standard hand-tight-plus-turns practice appropriate for threaded malleable iron fittings.
