Asc Engineered Solutions DXE.NMT Reducing Tee Fnpt 150lb

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS DXE.NMT is a malleable iron galvanized pipe reducing tee rated for 150 lb service. It connects piping runs where a branch outlet size differs from the run size, with a configuration of 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.75 inches on female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) threads. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for demanding environments. This fitting is domestically manufactured and suited for use by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on gas, water, and general piping systems where a reliable, code-appropriate threaded tee connection is required.

This reducing tee is used in residential and light commercial piping installations where a branch line of a different diameter must be taken off a straight run. Typical applications include natural gas distribution piping, compressed air lines, potable water systems, and steam piping within the fitting pressure rating. The FNPT thread pattern on all three ports allows straightforward assembly with standard threaded pipe and fittings using pipe thread sealant or tape.

Key Features

• Reducing configuration: 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.75 inches run-by-branch dimensions
• FNPT threads on all three ports for standard threaded pipe assembly
• 150 lb pressure class malleable iron construction
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor-adjacent environments
• Domestically manufactured for consistent quality and material traceability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 150 lb malleable iron threaded piping systems using FNPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code as appropriate for the service. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly, and tighten to firm hand-tight plus wrench-tight engagement without over-torquing the fitting body. Inspect for leaks after restoring system pressure.
