Asc Engineered Solutions 1BXEXE.NMT Reducing Tee 150 Lb

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 1BXEXE.NMT is a malleable iron reducing tee rated at 150 lb for threaded pipe connections conforming to NPS standards. The fitting transitions from a 1-1/4 inch run to 3/4 inch branch and outlet, making it a common solution when downsizing a branch line off a main distribution pipe. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited to exposed or moderately humid environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of gas distribution, water supply, and general industrial piping assemblies where a durable, code-acceptable threaded connection is required.

This reducing tee is designed for use in residential and light commercial piping systems where NPS threaded fittings are specified. Typical applications include natural gas and propane distribution lines, potable water supply runs, compressed air systems, and steam lines within the 150 lb pressure class rating. The domestic origin designation indicates U.S. manufacture, which is relevant for projects with Buy American requirements or contract specifications that mandate domestic-source fittings.

Key Features

• 150 lb pressure class rating suitable for standard residential and commercial service
• Malleable iron construction provides impact resistance and thread integrity under torque
• Galvanized finish resists corrosion in exposed or damp installation environments
• 1-1/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 inch reducing configuration handles common branch line size transitions
• NPS threaded ends compatible with standard NPT pipe and fittings
• Domestic manufacture supports Buy American compliance on applicable projects

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, and IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before cutting in or replacing any fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly, and tighten to snug-plus-turns using a pipe wrench sized to the fitting. Do not over-tighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
