Asc Engineered Solutions 1BXEX1B.BMT Reducing Tee Fnpt 150lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 1BXEX1B.BMT is a malleable iron pipe reducing tee rated for 150 lb service and finished in black. It connects a 1-1/4 inch run with a 3/4 inch branch outlet, using female NPT threads on all three ports. This fitting is manufactured domestically and used in threaded piping systems where flow direction changes or branch takeoffs are required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in gas distribution, steam, and hydronic heating systems where a durable, code-compliant threaded connection is needed.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial applications including natural gas and propane branch lines, steam and hot water heating distribution, and general industrial piping where threaded malleable iron fittings meet code requirements. The reducing tee configuration allows a smaller branch line to be taken off a larger main without additional bushings or adapters, simplifying layout and reducing potential leak points at the connection.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction rated for 150 lb service pressure
• 1-1/4 x 3/4 x 1-1/4 inch reducing configuration eliminates need for separate bushing
• Female NPT threads on all three ports for standard threaded pipe assembly
• Black finish suitable for gas piping applications
• Domestically manufactured to meet applicable ASTM and ASME standards for threaded fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded fitting for use with standard 1-1/4 inch and 3/4 inch NPT pipe in malleable iron threaded piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) and International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the system fully before disassembling any threaded connection. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service media before making up threads. Do not use this fitting beyond its 150 lb pressure class rating.
