Asc Engineered Solutions EXD.BMT Reducing Tee 3/4x3/4x1/2 Fnpt

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS EXD.BMT is a malleable iron reducing tee designed for threaded pipe assemblies in gas, water, and general-purpose piping systems. It features a 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/2 inch configuration with female NPT (FNPT) threads on all three ports and carries a 150 lb pressure rating. The black finish is standard for gas distribution applications. This fitting is domestically manufactured and suitable for use in residential and commercial mechanical systems where a branch reduction is required inline.

This reducing tee is commonly installed in residential and light commercial gas piping, hydronic heating distribution, compressed air lines, and water supply systems. The 3/4 inch run with a 1/2 inch branch outlet makes it a practical choice when stepping down to a smaller branch line off a main distribution header. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the typical installers for this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications.

Key Features

• 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/2 inch reducing tee configuration for inline branch reductions
• Female NPT (FNPT) threads on all three ports for standard tapered thread engagement
• 150 lb pressure class rating suitable for low-pressure gas and fluid piping
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to mechanical stress
• Black finish makes it appropriate for gas distribution piping per common code requirements
• Domestically manufactured

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use fitting compatible with 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch FNPT threaded pipe systems rated at 150 lb class, typical in residential and commercial gas, water, and hydronic piping installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, or IPC requirements. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure completely before disassembling existing piping or installing this fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads of the mating pipe before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
