Asc Engineered Solutions 1DXEXE.NMT Pipe Reducing Tee

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 1DXEXE.NMT is a malleable iron galvanized pipe reducing tee rated at 150 lb, designed for threaded piping systems where the run and branch require different pipe sizes. The fitting connects a 1-1/2 inch run to a 3/4 inch branch using female NPT (FNPT) threads on all three ports. Malleable iron construction provides the ductility needed to handle mechanical stress and vibration in service, while the galvanized finish offers corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor-adjacent installations. This is a domestically manufactured fitting suited for plumbing, mechanical, and light industrial piping applications.

This reducing tee is used in residential and commercial piping systems where a main line must branch off to a smaller-diameter supply. Typical applications include water distribution, gas piping, compressed air, and general mechanical systems. The FNPT thread pattern mates with standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings throughout the system. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during rough-in or retrofit work when reducing from a 1-1/2 inch main to a 3/4 inch branch line.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides durability and resistance to mechanical stress
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet or exposed installations
• 150 lb pressure rating suitable for standard service piping applications
• FNPT threads on all three ports for compatibility with standard NPT pipe and fittings
• Reducing configuration: 1-1/2 inch run by 3/4 inch branch simplifies inline size transitions
• Domestically manufactured fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded piping systems using 1-1/2 inch and 3/4 inch pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements for gas service. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for the intended service medium to all male NPT threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve a proper thread engagement without over-torquing the fitting. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings.
