Asc Engineered Solutions D.BMT Pipe Tee 0.5in Fnpt 150lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions D.BMT is a 1/2-inch malleable iron pipe tee finished in black, rated for 150 lb service. This fitting creates a three-way branch connection in threaded pipe systems, accepting female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) threads on all three ports. It is domestically manufactured to standard pipe fitting dimensions. Plumbers, gas fitters, and pipefitters install this type of fitting in low-pressure gas, water, and air distribution lines where a branch takeoff is required. The black finish indicates an uncoated malleable iron fitting commonly specified for gas piping applications.

This tee is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a 1/2-inch threaded branch connection is needed. Typical applications include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, compressed air systems, and steam or water piping within the 150 lb pressure class. The FNPT connection on all ports allows it to mate directly with standard NPT male-threaded pipe, nipples, and fittings. It is a standard trade fitting used in rough-in and service work across plumbing and gas piping installations.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard trade fitting for 1/2-inch NPT threaded pipe systems rated at 150 lb service class, including gas, air, steam, and water piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack if subjected to excessive force.
