Asc Engineered Solutions 1BXE.NMT Reducing Tee 150 Lb Galvanized

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 1BXE.NMT is a malleable iron galvanized pipe reducing tee rated at 150 lb, designed for use in threaded piping systems. It features female national pipe taper (FNPT) threads on all three ports and reduces from a 1-1/4 inch run to a 3/4 inch branch outlet. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting on low-pressure gas, water, and steam distribution systems where a branch takeoff at a reduced diameter is required.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping applications. The 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 x 3/4 inch configuration is commonly used when a main line must continue at full size while supplying a smaller branch line, such as a fixture supply or equipment connection. Domestic manufacture supports project specifications that require U.S.-made fittings.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for durability and thread integrity under pressure
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet or exposed environments
• FNPT threads on all three ports for standard threaded pipe connections
• 150 lb pressure rating suitable for low-pressure gas, water, and steam service
• Reducing outlet at 3/4 inch allows branch takeoff without additional bushings
• Domestically manufactured to support projects with domestic content requirements

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 nominal pipe on the run and 3/4 inch nominal pipe on the branch.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) as applicable. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque the fitting, as malleable iron threads can be damaged by excessive force.
