Asc Engineered Solutions 2X1D.BMT Pipe Reducing Tee 150 Lb

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 2X1D.BMT is a malleable iron pipe reducing tee rated at 150 lb, designed to connect and redirect flow within threaded pipe systems. Sized at 2 x 2 x 1-1/2 inches with female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) threads on all three ports, this fitting reduces the branch outlet from the 2-inch run to a 1-1/2-inch connection. The black finish is standard for gas and industrial piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting in low-pressure gas, air, steam, and water distribution systems where a branch reduction is required.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where a schedule 40 malleable iron fitting is specified. Typical applications include natural gas distribution piping, compressed air lines, fire sprinkler systems, and general industrial fluid handling. The domestic manufacture designation indicates it is produced in the United States, which is a common specification requirement on prevailing wage and public works projects.

Key Features

• 2 x 2 x 1-1/2 inch configuration reduces the branch outlet while maintaining full 2-inch run size
• FNPT threads on all three ports for standard threaded pipe assembly
• 150 lb pressure class malleable iron construction for durability in demanding service conditions
• Black finish appropriate for gas and industrial piping service
• Domestically manufactured to meet project specification requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 150 lb malleable iron threaded pipe systems using FNPT connections in 2 x 2 x 1-1/2 inch reducing tee configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas piping, and ASME B16.3 standards for malleable iron fittings. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to proper engagement using pipe wrenches. Do not over-torque, as this can crack the fitting body or damage threads.
