1-1/2 inch Copper Press Tee Copper x Copper

1-1/2" Copper Press Tee – Built for High-Integrity Piping Systems

The 1-1/2" copper press tee provides a secure and permanent connection for joining three copper pipes in potable water, hydronic heating, or general plumbing systems. Designed for use with press tools and compatible jaws, this fitting allows for fast, flame-free installations while maintaining consistent, code-compliant performance.

Fabricated from lead-free wrought copper and manufactured to strict dimensional standards, this press tee supports uniform crimping and ensures a consistent seal under system pressure. It is ideal for both new construction and retrofit work in commercial and residential settings.

Key Benefits

• ✅ Press Connection System: Offers quick, solderless installation using compatible pressing equipment.
• ✅ Wrought Copper Body: Provides corrosion resistance and long-term strength under variable temperature and pressure conditions.
• ✅ Reliable Seal Integrity: Fittings include pre-installed sealing elements that create secure, leak-resistant joints when properly crimped.
• ✅ Lead-Free Compliance: Meets NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 standards for use in potable water systems.
• ✅ Uniform Press Profile: Designed to work with standard press jaw profiles (commonly V-type), ensuring field compatibility.

Specifications

• Material: Lead-free wrought copper
• Connection Type: Press x Press x Press
• Nominal Size: 1-1/2 inch
• Seal Material: EPDM or HNBR (application-specific)

Typical Applications

This press tee is widely used in hot and cold water distribution systems, hydronic loop piping, and commercial plumbing networks. It is suited for copper tubing conforming to ASTM B88 (Type L, M, and K) and allows for safe and clean installation in confined spaces where torch work is restricted.

Installation Requirements

Installation requires use of an approved press tool and compatible jaws sized for 1-1/2" copper fittings. Pipe ends must be cleaned and deburred prior to assembly. Ensure proper insertion depth and alignment before actuating the press tool. Always follow the manufacturer’s pressing protocol to maintain system integrity and warranty coverage.

Note:

Per U.S. federal law, lead-free copper fittings are required in all potable water applications. This product complies with all applicable plumbing code requirements and is certified for safe water delivery.

For high-performance press connections that meet code and minimize installation time, the 1-1/2" copper press tee is a dependable solution for professionals working in fast-paced mechanical or plumbing environments.
