Asc Engineered Solutions 2X1DX2.NMT Pipe Reducing Tee

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 2X1DX2.NMT is a malleable iron galvanized pipe reducing tee designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. It features a 2 x 1-1/2 x 2 inch run-by-branch configuration with female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) threads on all three ports. Rated at 150 lb, this fitting is built for low-pressure steam and general-purpose water and gas service. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in exposed or moderately corrosive environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during new construction, retrofit work, and system repairs.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and commercial piping applications where a branch takeoff at a reduced center port is required. The 2-inch run ports accept standard 2-inch threaded pipe, while the 1-1/2-inch branch port accommodates a reduced branch line. Typical installations include water distribution, low-pressure gas piping, compressed air lines, and mechanical room headers. Domestic manufacture supports compliance with Buy American provisions on applicable projects.

Key Features

• 2 x 1-1/2 x 2 inch reducing configuration for branch line size reduction without additional fittings
• FNPT threads on all three ports for standard threaded pipe connections
• 150 lb pressure rating suitable for low-pressure steam, water, gas, and air service
• Malleable iron construction provides impact resistance and ductility compared to cast iron
• Galvanized finish resists corrosion in exposed and moisture-prone installations
• Domestically manufactured to support project compliance requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 150 lb malleable iron threaded piping systems using 2-inch and 1-1/2-inch NPT-threaded pipe and fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code (IPC), or the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) as required by the service type. Isolate and depressurize the line and drain standing water before cutting into an existing system. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to a snug, leak-free fit. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack if excessive force is applied.
