Asc Engineered Solutions 2X1X2.BMT Reducing Tee 150 Lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 2X1X2.BMT is a malleable iron reducing tee designed for threaded pipe assemblies in gas, air, and water distribution systems. Rated at 150 lb, this fitting connects a 1-inch branch outlet to a 2-inch run, using female NPT (FNPT) threads on all three ports. The black finish is standard for gas-line and industrial piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting where a reduced branch takeoff is needed without changing the main line size. Domestic manufacture supports projects with buy-American requirements on commercial and institutional jobs.

This reducing tee suits residential and light commercial piping systems where a 2-inch main line requires a 1-inch branch connection. Typical applications include natural gas distribution headers, compressed air lines, and hydronic or water supply systems. The FNPT thread pattern is compatible with standard NPT-threaded pipe and nipples, making it straightforward to integrate into new construction or retrofit work. The 150 lb pressure rating covers the demands of most low-pressure service lines encountered in plumbing and mechanical contracting.

Key Features

• Reducing configuration: 2-inch run x 1-inch branch x 2-inch run for versatile branch takeoffs
• FNPT threads on all three ports for standard NPT pipe compatibility
• 150 lb pressure class suitable for low-pressure gas, air, and water service
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to impact and vibration
• Black finish standard for gas-line and industrial piping applications
• Domestic manufacture supports buy-American and project specification requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT-threaded malleable iron pipe systems rated at 150 lb service class.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes, including IFGC and IPC requirements for the service type. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly, and tighten fittings using a pipe wrench to proper engagement without over-stressing the casting. Inspect all joints for leaks after restoring pressure.
