Asc Engineered Solutions 1XD.BMC Reducing Coupling 150 Lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 1XD.BMC is a malleable iron pipe reducing coupling designed for threaded pipe systems operating at pressures up to 150 lb class ratings. It connects a 1-inch nominal pipe to a 1/2-inch nominal pipe using female NPT (FNPT) threads on both ends. The black finish is standard for natural gas, propane, and other non-potable piping applications. This fitting is domestically manufactured and sized for use in commercial and residential mechanical piping systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this coupling wherever a reduction between two threaded pipe sizes is required in a low-to-moderate pressure gas or fluid system.

This reducing coupling is suited for natural gas distribution piping, propane supply lines, compressed air systems, and general industrial piping where a 1-inch to 1/2-inch threaded reduction is needed. The black malleable iron construction meets common code requirements for gas piping under the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). It is appropriate for both new installation and repair work in residential and light commercial settings where NPT threaded fittings are the standard connection method.

Key Features

• Reduces 1-inch nominal pipe to 1/2-inch nominal pipe in a single fitting
• Female NPT (FNPT) threads on both ends for standard threaded pipe assembly
• 150 lb pressure class malleable iron construction
• Black finish suitable for gas piping and non-potable fluid systems
• Domestically manufactured fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for malleable iron threaded pipe systems using 1-inch to 1/2-inch NPT connections at 150 lb class pressure ratings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local mechanical codes and the IFGC for gas applications. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and verify zero pressure in the line before threading or unthreading any fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench on the adjacent fitting to avoid stressing the system.
