Asc Engineered Solutions 1DX1.BMT Pipe Reducing Tee

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 1DX1.BMT is a malleable iron reducing tee designed for threaded pipe assemblies in gas, air, and general plumbing systems. The tee features a 1-1/2 inch run on both ends and a 1 inch branch outlet, all with female NPT (FNPT) threads. Rated at 150 lb, this fitting is built to handle the working pressures common in residential and light commercial applications. Black finish is standard for gas piping installations. Malleable iron construction provides the ductility needed to withstand vibration and mechanical stress in service lines.

This reducing tee is used where a branch connection must step down from a 1-1/2 inch main line to a 1 inch branch outlet. Typical applications include natural gas distribution piping, propane supply lines, compressed air systems, and water service assemblies. The FNPT thread pattern mates with standard NPT male-threaded pipe and fittings, making it compatible with common Schedule 40 black iron pipe used throughout residential and commercial mechanical systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting during new construction and service retrofits.

Key Features

• Reducing tee configuration: 1-1/2 inch x 1-1/2 inch run, 1 inch branch outlet
• FNPT threads on all three ports for standard NPT pipe compatibility
• 150 lb pressure rating suitable for gas, air, and fluid service
• Malleable iron construction resists cracking and absorbs mechanical stress
• Black finish meets common requirements for gas piping installations
• Domestic manufacture

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service fitting for 1-1/2 inch NPT threaded pipe systems, with a 1 inch FNPT branch outlet for reducing connections in black iron pipe assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas systems, or IPC requirements for plumbing systems. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque the fitting; hand-tighten and then wrench-tighten to achieve a leak-free seal without stressing the fitting body.
