Asc Engineered Solutions 2X1D.BMC Reducing Coupling 150 Lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 2X1D.BMC is a malleable iron pipe reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different sizes in threaded piping systems. It transitions from a 2-inch nominal pipe to a 1.5-inch nominal pipe using female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) threads on both ends. Rated at 150 lb, this coupling is built for standard-pressure applications in gas, water, and steam distribution. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting as part of black iron pipe assemblies in residential and commercial systems.

This reducing coupling is used wherever a threaded piping system requires a step-down in pipe diameter. Common applications include natural gas distribution lines, steam heating systems, compressed air lines, and general plumbing rough-in work. The black finish is standard for gas piping installations. Domestic manufacture supports projects with Buy American requirements or specifications calling for domestically produced fittings.

Key Features

• Reduces from 2-inch nominal to 1.5-inch nominal pipe in a single fitting
• FNPT threads on both ends for standard threaded pipe connections
• 150 lb pressure rating for use in standard-pressure piping systems
• Malleable iron construction for strength and thread integrity under mechanical stress
• Black finish suitable for gas piping and black iron pipe assemblies
• Domestically manufactured

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch to 1.5-inch nominal threaded pipe systems using standard FNPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or pipe thread compound rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Installations must comply with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping systems.
