Asc Engineered Solutions 1BXEXE.BMT Pipe Reducing Tee

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 1BXEXE.BMT is a malleable iron pipe reducing tee designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical applications. The fitting connects a 1-1/4 inch run to 3/4 inch branch outlets using female NPT threads on all three ports. Rated at 150 lb, it handles the pressure demands found in residential and light commercial gas and water piping. The black finish is standard for gas service applications. Domestically manufactured, this fitting meets the dimensional and material expectations of professional pipe fitters and plumbers working with schedule 40 iron pipe systems.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical rooms, gas supply lines, compressed air distribution, and general plumbing systems where a run-size reduction or branch takeoff is required. The 1-1/4 inch by 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch configuration is commonly used where a main gas or water line steps down to a smaller branch serving an appliance or fixture. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting in new construction and retrofit projects alike.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides durability in threaded pipe assemblies subject to vibration and thermal cycling
• 150 lb pressure rating suitable for residential and light commercial gas and water service
• Female NPT threads on all three ports ensure compatibility with standard threaded pipe and fittings
• Black finish makes this fitting appropriate for gas piping applications per standard installation practice
• Domestic manufacture supports compliance with Buy American and project specification requirements
• Reducing configuration allows a single fitting to transition run and branch sizes without additional couplings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for 150 lb malleable iron threaded pipe systems using 1-1/4 inch and 3/4 inch schedule 40 pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code, International Plumbing Code, or applicable local mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-tight plus the number of turns appropriate for the pipe size per code guidance. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.
