Asc Engineered Solutions 2X1B.NMT Reducing Tee 2x2x1-1/4 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 2X1B.NMT is a malleable iron reducing tee rated at 150 lb and finished with a galvanized coating for corrosion resistance. It features female national pipe thread (FNPT) connections at all three ports, with a 2-inch run on both the inlet and outlet and a 1-1/4-inch branch outlet. This fitting is designed for threaded pipe assemblies in low-pressure gas, water, and steam distribution systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers. Domestic manufacture supports project specifications requiring U.S.-made components.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a branch takeoff at a reduced diameter is needed. Common scenarios include supply and return piping in hydronic heating systems, domestic water distribution, and low-pressure gas piping where a 2-inch main line requires a 1-1/4-inch branch connection. The galvanized finish provides added protection in damp or outdoor-adjacent installations.

Key Features

• 150 lb pressure rating suitable for low-pressure water, gas, and steam service
• FNPT threads on all three ports for standard threaded pipe assembly
• 2 x 2 x 1-1/4 inch configuration reduces branch outlet without interrupting main line flow
• Malleable iron construction provides toughness and resistance to mechanical stress
• Galvanized finish resists corrosion in moisture-prone environments
• Domestic manufacture supports buy-American project requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch threaded pipe systems requiring a 1-1/4-inch branch takeoff, conforming to standard FNPT thread dimensions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code as applicable. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly, and tighten to a snug, leak-free fit without over-torquing malleable iron threads. Pressure-test the assembly before returning the system to service.
