Asc Engineered Solutions 2X1.NMT Reducing Tee 150 Lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 2X1.NMT is a malleable iron reducing tee rated at 150 lb with female national pipe thread (FNPT) connections. It transitions a 2-inch run to a 1-inch branch, making it a workhorse fitting for reducing flow distribution in threaded pipe assemblies. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for long service life in wet or exposed environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting when a branch line requires a smaller pipe diameter off a main 2-inch line. Its domestic manufacture supports projects with domestic-content procurement requirements.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems where threaded malleable iron fittings are specified. The 2 x 2 x 1 inch configuration handles inline reductions without additional adapters. It is commonly used in fire protection supply lines, compressed air systems, steam systems up to 150 lb class ratings, and water distribution piping where a branch takeoff requires a step-down in pipe size.

Key Features

• 150 lb pressure class rating for compatibility with a wide range of threaded piping systems
• Malleable iron construction provides impact resistance and durability over cast iron alternatives
• Galvanized finish resists corrosion in wet, outdoor, or industrial environments
• FNPT threads on all three ports for standard threaded pipe assembly
• 2 x 2 x 1 inch reducing configuration eliminates the need for a separate reducer and tee
• Domestic manufacture supports Buy American and domestic-content project specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 150 lb class threaded malleable iron piping systems using 2-inch run pipe and 1-inch branch pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before making any connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive force.
