1-1/2 inch x 1-1/2 inch x 1 inch Copper Reducing Tee – Designed for Efficient Transitions in Piping Systems

The 1-1/2 inch x 1-1/2 inch x 1 inch Copper Reducing Tee is engineered to create a seamless connection point between three copper lines, with a reduced outlet branch for adapting to varying pipe diameters. This fitting is fabricated from lead-free wrought copper and is suitable for use in water distribution and hydronic heating systems.

Manufactured to meet industry standards, the tee features sweat (cup) connections that allow for soldered joints. Its rigid construction and smooth internal surface contribute to minimal flow restriction and optimal hydraulic performance.

Advantages for Professional Installations

• ✅ Lead-Free Alloy – Constructed from UNS C12200 copper for use in potable water systems in accordance with Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) guidelines.
• ✅ Uniform Wall Thickness – Supports even heat distribution during soldering and promotes long-term durability under varying pressure conditions.
• ✅ Factory-Formed Branch – Precision-reduced outlet delivers accurate flow control when reducing from 1-1/2 inch main to 1 inch branch line.
• ✅ Code Compliant – Complies with ASME B16.22 and NSF/ANSI 61/372 standards for potable applications.
• ✅ Suitable for Multiple Systems – Compatible with hot and cold water, chilled water, HVAC, and other pressure-rated plumbing applications.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Wrought Copper, Alloy C12200
• Configuration: Reducing Tee – C x C x C
• Size: 1-1/2 inch x 1-1/2 inch x 1 inch
• Connection Type: Sweat (cup ends)

Installation Guidelines

Installation requires pipe preparation including cleaning and fluxing prior to soldering. For best results, use ASTM B813 water-soluble flux and lead-free solder conforming to ASTM B32. Heat should be evenly applied using a torch rated for the pipe diameter in use. Allow for proper cooling before pressure testing.

Common Applications

• Potable water systems (residential or commercial)
• Closed-loop hydronic heating loops
• Low-pressure steam systems (if permitted)
• Mechanical piping in HVAC or chilled water lines

Note

This fitting is designed for use with hard or soft copper tubing types K, L, or M. Always follow applicable plumbing codes and consult engineering specifications for pressure, temperature, and fluid compatibility.
