Asc Engineered Solutions 3X2D.BMT Reducing Tee 150 Lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 3X2D.BMT is a malleable iron reducing tee rated for 150 lb service in threaded piping systems. It features female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) threads on all three outlets and connects a 3-inch run to a 2-1/2-inch branch. The black finish indicates a standard, non-galvanized coating suitable for gas, air, and general industrial piping. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting wherever a threaded system requires a diameter reduction at a branch takeoff. The malleable iron construction provides the ductility needed to handle mechanical stress and vibration without cracking.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and commercial gas distribution, compressed air lines, and general-purpose black iron piping systems. It is commonly installed in above-ground applications where FNPT threaded connections are specified. The 3 x 3 x 2-1/2 inch configuration handles runs that maintain full 3-inch bore while stepping the branch down to 2-1/2 inches, a typical arrangement in main supply lines feeding smaller branch circuits.

Key Features

• 3 x 3 x 2-1/2 inch reducing configuration with FNPT threads on all outlets
• 150 lb pressure class malleable iron construction
• Black finish for use in gas, air, and general industrial piping
• Domestic manufacture per raw_title sourcing notation
• Ductile malleable iron resists mechanical shock and vibration in threaded assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded fitting compatible with standard 3-inch and 2-1/2-inch FNPT black iron pipe systems rated at 150 lb service class.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or ASME B31 piping standards. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before cutting in or replacing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not use this fitting in systems that exceed its rated pressure class or in buried or submerged applications without verifying suitability.
