Asc Engineered Solutions 1XE.BMT Reducing Tee 1x1x3/4 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 1XE.BMT is a malleable iron pipe reducing tee rated at 150 lb, designed for threaded pipe assemblies that require a branch reduction. With female NPT (FNPT) connections on all three outlets, it accepts a 1-inch run on both the inlet and outlet ends and reduces the branch outlet to 3/4 inch. The black finish is standard for gas piping and general industrial applications. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this fitting as part of low-pressure gas distribution, steam, air, and water systems where a reliable, domestically produced iron tee is required.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems. It is commonly installed in gas distribution branches, compressed air headers, and steam or hydronic heating runs where the branch line steps down from the main 1-inch run. The 150 lb pressure rating makes it appropriate for standard service pressure applications in both new construction and retrofit work. Its domestic origin satisfies project specifications that require USA-manufactured fittings.

Key Features

• Reduces branch outlet from 1 inch to 3/4 inch while maintaining a full 1-inch run
• FNPT connections on all three ports for standard threaded pipe assembly
• 150 lb pressure rating suitable for gas, air, steam, and water service
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and impact resistance over cast iron
• Black finish standard for gas piping applications
• Domestically produced to meet USA-manufactured sourcing requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded fitting for use in 1-inch NPT piping systems with a 3/4-inch branch, compatible with standard Schedule 40 threaded pipe in gas, air, steam, and water service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable codes including IFGC and IPC. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembly or fitting installation. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench to achieve a firm, leak-free joint without stressing the fitting body.
