Asc Engineered Solutions 3.NMT Pipe Tee 3 Inch 150 Lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 3.NMT is a 3-inch malleable iron pipe tee rated at 150 lb, finished with a galvanized coating for corrosion resistance. It features female national pipe taper (FNPT) threads on all three outlets, allowing a secure, leak-resistant connection in threaded piping assemblies. This fitting is domestically manufactured and built for use in standard pressure-rated piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in gas, water, and steam distribution lines where a branch connection is needed. The galvanized finish extends service life in moderately corrosive environments.

This tee is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and hydronic heating systems where a 3-inch threaded branch takeoff is required. The 150 lb pressure rating meets common low-pressure system requirements for both gas and liquid service. It is a standard-pattern equal tee, making it appropriate for any installation where flow must be divided or combined at a straight run with a perpendicular branch.

Key Features

• 3-inch FNPT threads on all three outlets for secure threaded assembly
• 150 lb pressure rating suitable for low-pressure gas, water, and steam service
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to impact and vibration
• Galvanized finish adds corrosion protection in wet or outdoor-adjacent installations
• Domestically manufactured to standard pipe fitting dimensions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 3-inch FNPT threaded pipe systems rated at 150 lb class, including Schedule 40 pipe in gas, water, and low-pressure steam applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the 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 a firm, wrench-tight connection without over-torquing the malleable iron body. For gas service, verify all joints with an approved leak-detection method after pressurizing the system.
