Asc Engineered Solutions 2X1.BMT Reducing Tee 2x2x1 Fnpt 150lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 2X1.BMT is a malleable iron reducing tee designed for threaded pipe assemblies in gas, air, and low-pressure fluid distribution systems. The fitting connects a 2-inch run on both the inlet and outlet ends with a reduced 1-inch branch outlet, using female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) threads on all three ports. Rated at 150 lb working pressure, it is finished in black and manufactured domestically. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting where a branch takeoff at a reduced size is needed in a standard threaded iron pipe system.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications including natural gas distribution, compressed air lines, steam at low pressure, and water service where a malleable iron, threaded fitting is specified. The 2 x 2 x 1 inch configuration makes it a common choice when a main run must continue at full size while supplying a smaller branch line. Installers working on black iron gas piping systems will find this fitting consistent with standard Ward-pattern malleable iron fittings used throughout the trade.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), International Plumbing Code (IPC), or applicable local mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before disassembling or threading new fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before makeup. Verify final assembly for leaks before returning the system to service.
