Asc Engineered Solutions 1XEXE.BMT Pipe Reducing Tee

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 1XEXE.BMT is a malleable iron pipe reducing tee rated for 150 lb service, threaded with female NPT (FNPT) connections on all three ports. It features a 1-inch run with two 3/4-inch branch and outlet ports, making it a standard reducing configuration for splitting or diverting flow in low-pressure piping systems. The black finish is typical for gas and general-purpose black iron piping installations. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting in residential and light commercial applications where a branch takeoff at a reduced diameter is required.

This reducing tee is suited for use in natural gas, propane, compressed air, and water piping systems where malleable iron fittings are code-acceptable. The 1 x 3/4 x 3/4 inch configuration is a common reducing pattern used when a main line must feed a smaller branch line or terminate at a reduced outlet. Domestic manufacture supports project specifications that require U.S.-made components. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters work with this fitting type in both new construction and retrofit piping work.

Key Features

• 150 lb pressure rating suitable for low-pressure gas and fluid piping service
• FNPT threads on all three ports for standard threaded pipe assembly
• Reducing configuration: 1-inch run, 3/4-inch branch and outlet
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and impact resistance in threaded fittings
• Black finish standard for gas-service black iron piping systems
• Domestically manufactured

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and fuel gas codes, including IFGC and IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembly or fitting installation. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all FNPT connections. Do not over-tighten threaded joints; follow standard hand-tight-plus-turns practice for malleable iron fittings.
