Asc Engineered Solutions 1DXE.BMC Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 1DXE.BMC is a black malleable iron reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different diameters in threaded piping systems. With a 1-1/2 x 3/4 inch nominal size and female NPT (FNPT) threads on both ends, this fitting steps down pipe size in a single inline connection without additional adapters. Rated at 150 lb, it is built for low-pressure gas, water, and steam distribution applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in residential and light commercial mechanical systems where reducing the pipe diameter mid-run is required.

This reducing coupling is suited for use in threaded black iron piping systems, including natural gas distribution, steam heating, and general-purpose water lines. The 1-1/2 inch by 3/4 inch nominal reduction makes it a common choice when transitioning from a main distribution line to a branch or equipment connection. Domestic manufacture supports compliance with buy-American and local code requirements where applicable.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 x 3/4 inch nominal FNPT threads on both ends for inline diameter reduction
• 150 lb pressure rating suitable for low-pressure gas, steam, and water service
• Black malleable iron construction for durability in threaded pipe assemblies
• Domestic manufacture for projects requiring US-made fittings
• Single-piece inline design eliminates the need for separate reducing bushings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 150 lb threaded black iron piping systems using FNPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing any existing fitting or making new connections. Apply listed thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Tighten with pipe wrenches to achieve a leak-free joint without over-stressing the fitting.
