Asc Engineered Solutions 1XEXD.BMT Reducing Tee 150 Lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 1XEXD.BMT is a malleable iron reducing tee rated at 150 lb for use in threaded pipe systems. It features female national pipe taper (FNPT) threads on all three outlets in a 1 x 3/4 x 1/2 inch reducing configuration, allowing a single fitting to transition between three different pipe sizes within one connection point. The black finish is standard for gas and industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during rough-in and service work on low-pressure gas, steam, air, and water distribution systems.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a branch line must step down in size from the main run. The 1-inch run with a 3/4-inch outlet and 1/2-inch branch makes it a practical choice for natural gas distribution manifolds, compressed air headers, and general-purpose black iron piping systems. Domestic manufacture supports compliance requirements on projects that specify U.S.-origin materials.

Key Features

• 150 lb pressure rating suitable for low-pressure gas, steam, air, and water service
• FNPT threads on all three ports for standard threaded pipe assembly
• Reducing configuration: 1 x 3/4 x 1/2 inches to combine three pipe sizes in one fitting
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to mechanical shock
• Black finish standard for gas piping identification and corrosion resistance in dry service
• Domestic manufacture for projects requiring U.S.-origin materials

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 150 lb malleable iron threaded reducing tee compatible with FNPT-threaded black iron pipe systems conforming to ASME B16.3 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes, including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as required by the system type. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before disassembling or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all FNPT connections. Do not over-tighten threaded joints; follow standard hand-tight-plus-turns practice per code and fitting manufacturer guidance.
