Asc Engineered Solutions 3X2.BMC Reducing Coupling 3x2 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 3X2.BMC is a malleable iron pipe reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different diameters in threaded piping systems. Rated at 150 lb, this coupling features female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) threads on both ends to accept standard threaded pipe. The black finish is standard for gas and industrial piping applications. At 3 x 2 inches nominal size, it steps down from a 3-inch line to a 2-inch branch or continuation, making it a common fitting in mechanical and plumbing rough-in work. Domestic manufacture supports traceability and code compliance on projects requiring American-made components.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and commercial gas distribution piping, steam and hot water heating systems, compressed air lines, and general industrial piping where malleable iron fittings are specified. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians wherever a threaded reducing connection is required in a 150-lb-class piping system.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides strength and impact resistance in threaded piping systems
• FNPT threads on both ends for standard threaded pipe connections
• 150 lb pressure class rating for low-pressure gas, steam, water, and air service
• 3 x 2 inch nominal reducing size for stepping down pipe diameter inline
• Black finish suitable for gas piping and industrial applications
• Domestic manufacture supports project specifications requiring American-made fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 3-inch and 2-inch NPT threaded pipe in 150-lb-rated malleable iron piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up the connection. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, as malleable iron threads can be damaged by excessive force.
