Asc Engineered Solutions 1DX1X1.BMT Reducing Tee 150 Lb

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 1DX1X1.BMT is a malleable iron pipe reducing tee rated for 150 lb service. It features female NPT (FNPT) connections on all three ports and is finished in black. The run measures 1-1/2 inches, while both the branch and outlet measure 1 inch, making it a standard reducing configuration for joining pipe lines of differing sizes. This fitting is a domestically produced component used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in gas, air, and water distribution systems where a directional branch takeoff with a reduced port size is required.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where black malleable iron fittings are specified. Common applications include gas distribution piping, compressed air systems, and threaded black iron pipe assemblies. The FNPT thread pattern on all three ports allows direct connection to standard NPT-threaded pipe without adapters. Plumbers and mechanical contractors install this fitting when a branch line of smaller diameter must be tapped off a larger main run.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides durability and resistance to mechanical stress in threaded pipe systems
• 150 lb pressure rating suitable for gas, air, and water service applications
• FNPT connections on all three ports for standard NPT pipe compatibility
• Reducing configuration: 1-1/2 inch run with 1 x 1 inch branch and outlet ports
• Black finish standard for gas piping and black iron pipe systems
• Domestically produced fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for threaded black malleable iron pipe systems using standard NPT connections in 1-1/2 inch and 1 inch pipe sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas systems, or IPC requirements for water systems. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before disassembling or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
