Asc Engineered Solutions 1D.BMC 1-1/2 in Pipe Coupling

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 1D.BMC is a straight pipe coupling designed for joining two sections of threaded pipe in a continuous run. Built from malleable iron with a black finish, this coupling carries a 150 lb pressure rating and features female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) threads on both ends. At 1-1/2 inches nominal pipe size, it is a standard fitting for gas distribution, compressed air, steam, and general industrial piping systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting as part of threaded black iron piping assemblies in both new construction and retrofit work.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial applications where threaded malleable iron fittings are required by code or design specification. Typical installations include natural gas supply lines, low-pressure steam systems, and compressed air distribution headers. The FNPT end style accepts standard NPT-threaded pipe on both sides, making it compatible with the broad range of Schedule 40 black iron pipe commonly used in these systems.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size for high-volume flow applications
• FNPT threads on both ends for standard NPT pipe connections
• 150 lb pressure rating suitable for gas, steam, and compressed air service
• Malleable iron construction provides impact resistance and ductility
• Black finish appropriate for gas and industrial piping systems
• Domestic manufacture supports project compliance requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded fitting for use with standard 1-1/2 inch nominal NPT black iron pipe in residential and commercial gas, steam, and compressed air piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and fuel gas codes, including the IFGC and IPC where adopted. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench to avoid stressing adjacent fittings or pipe sections.
