Asc Engineered Solutions 1DXE.BMT Pipe Reducing Tee

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 1DXE.BMT is a malleable iron reducing tee designed for threaded pipe assemblies in gas, air, and approved liquid distribution systems. It connects two run ports at 1-1/2 inches and one branch outlet at 3/4 inches, all with female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) threads, and carries a 150 lb pressure class rating. The black finish is standard for gas-service fittings. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas service technicians install this fitting in both residential and light commercial piping systems.

This reducing tee is suited for applications where a branch takeoff at a smaller pipe size is required without the use of additional reducing bushings or couplings. Common installation scenarios include natural gas and propane distribution piping, compressed air lines, and general-purpose threaded pipe runs. The 1-1/2 inch run by 3/4 inch branch configuration makes it a frequently specified fitting in mechanical room rough-in and utility gas piping work.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 3/4 inch reducing configuration with all FNPT connections
• 150 lb pressure class malleable iron construction
• Black finish standard for gas-service piping identification
• Domestically manufactured for consistent thread quality and dimensional compliance
• Eliminates need for separate reducing bushings at the branch outlet

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 150 lb malleable iron threaded pipe systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or gas technician in accordance with applicable codes including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.
