Description
125# Bronze Threaded Reducing Tee
ASC 125# Bronze Threaded Reducing Tees provide a three-way threaded branch connection while allowing a size transition within the fitting. ASC identifies this product as Figure 36RT1 – Reducing Tee.
The reducing-tee configuration combines a straight-through run with a perpendicular branch while incorporating different connection sizes as required by the selected configuration. This can simplify threaded piping layouts that need both branching and size reduction in one fitting.

Reducing Tee Configuration
A reducing tee provides three threaded connection openings while incorporating a size reduction in the fitting configuration.
Two openings form the run and the third forms the branch. Depending on the specific Figure 36RT1 configuration, the run and branch sizes may differ, so the complete size combination should be confirmed before ordering.
Reducing Tee vs. Standard Tee
Reducing Tee – Figure 36RT1
- Three threaded connection openings
- Includes a size transition
- Provides a perpendicular branch
- Can combine tee and reducing functions
- Requires confirmation of the full connection-size configuration
Standard Tee – Figure 36T1
- Three threaded connection openings
- Standard tee configuration
- Provides a straight run and perpendicular branch
- Does not provide the same reducing configuration
- Confirm the required tee style before ordering
ASC Figure 36RT1 Identification
ASC identifies this fitting as Figure 36RT1 – Bronze 125# Threaded Reducing Tee.
The supplied ASC Bronze Fittings catalog provides configuration-specific ASC part numbers along with A, B, and C dimensional values, inner and master packing quantities, and fitting weights.
ASC also identifies the Figure 36RT1 as UL, 100% air tested, and subject to independent laboratory verification of applicable chemical and physical properties.
Because the exact reducing configurations included in this GetPipe.com listing were not provided, no additional sizes have been added to this description.
Construction Details
This product is identified by ASC as a Class 125 bronze threaded reducing tee.
The fitting body incorporates three threaded openings arranged as a tee while allowing different connection sizes within the selected configuration.
No additional bronze alloy, thread standard, pressure-temperature rating, service-media approval, or other certification is stated here unless specifically supported for Figure 36RT1 by the supplied ASC documentation.
How a Reducing Tee Is Configured
Run Connections
Two threaded openings form the primary piping run.
Branch Connection
A third threaded opening provides the perpendicular branch from the run.
Size Transition
The reducing configuration allows one or more connection sizes to differ from the other openings, depending on the specific Figure 36RT1 configuration.
Why Use a Reducing Tee?
Branching & Reduction
- Creates a three-way threaded connection
- Provides a branch from the main piping run
- Allows a size transition within the fitting
- Can reduce the need for a separate reducer
- Useful in compact threaded piping layouts
Threaded Installation
- Designed for compatible threaded piping systems
- No welded connection required
- Serviceable threaded assembly
- Suitable for appropriate field-installed piping layouts
- Requires confirmation of every mating connection size
Connection Size Selection
A reducing tee must be selected using the complete connection-size configuration. Do not select the fitting based on only one nominal size.
Confirm the run size, branch size, and connection arrangement required by the piping layout. Use the supplied ASC Bronze Fittings catalog to verify the corresponding Figure 36RT1 part number and A/B/C dimensional information.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm every required connection size in the Figure 36RT1 reducing configuration before ordering.
- Verify that the run and branch arrangement matches the intended piping layout.
- Confirm compatibility between all threaded connections and mating piping components.
- Use an appropriate thread-sealing method for the piping material and intended service.
- Review the supplied ASC catalog for the applicable part number, A/B/C dimensions, packing information, and fitting weight before final selection.
Use the supplied ASC Bronze Fittings catalog to verify the Figure 36RT1 connection-size configuration, ASC part number, A/B/C dimensions, packing information, and fitting weight before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ASC figure number is this reducing tee?
ASC identifies the 125# Bronze Threaded Reducing Tee as Figure 36RT1.
What is a reducing tee?
A reducing tee is a three-opening tee that incorporates a size transition within the fitting configuration while providing a perpendicular branch from the piping run.
How is a reducing tee different from a standard tee?
A reducing tee includes different connection sizes in the selected configuration. A standard tee uses the standard tee arrangement without the same reducing configuration.
What material family is Figure 36RT1?
ASC identifies Figure 36RT1 as a Class 125 bronze threaded fitting.
Is the Figure 36RT1 air tested?
Yes. ASC identifies the Figure 36RT1 as 100% air tested.
Is this fitting UL identified?
Yes. ASC identifies the Figure 36RT1 as UL.
Do I need to confirm all connection sizes?
Yes. Reducing tees can have multiple connection-size combinations, so the complete configuration should be verified before ordering.
What information does the ASC catalog provide?
The supplied catalog provides the Figure 36RT1 size configuration, ASC part number, A/B/C dimensions, packing quantities, and fitting weight.
Why are individual sizes not listed here?
The exact configurations included in this GetPipe.com listing were not provided, so no additional sizes have been added to the description.
Can a reducing tee eliminate a separate reducing fitting?
In an appropriate piping layout, the reducing tee combines a tee branch and size transition in one fitting and may reduce the need for a separate reducer.
Should thread sealant be used?
Use an appropriate thread-sealing method compatible with the piping material, intended service, and applicable installation requirements.
Where can I verify Figure 36RT1 dimensions and part numbers?
Use the supplied ASC Bronze Fittings catalog linked in Willy's help box directly above this FAQ section.
