1-1/2 inch x 3/4 inch Copper Reducing Tee – Wrot Copper, C x C x C

The 1-1/2 inch x 3/4 inch copper reducing tee is a lead-free, wrot copper fitting used to branch off from a main line while transitioning to a reduced outlet size. With socket ends configured for copper tube connections (C x C x C), it supports soldered joints and provides a durable, code-compliant solution for water supply and hydronic systems.

Engineered in accordance with ASTM and ASME dimensional standards, this fitting ensures a uniform fit, allowing for consistent brazed or soldered installations across Type K, L, or M copper tubing systems.

Product Features

• ✅ Nominal Sizes: 1-1/2 inch main run, 3/4 inch branch outlet – ideal for systems requiring a size reduction at the branch point.
• ✅ Material: Lead-free wrot copper (typically UNS C12200), compliant with potable water regulations.
• ✅ Connection Type: C x C x C solder ends designed for brazing or soft-solder installation.
• ✅ Standards: Conforms to ASME B16.22 and ASTM B75/B88/B251 requirements.
• ✅ Certification: NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 certified for lead-free plumbing applications.

Installation Guidelines

Preparation of tubing and fitting surfaces is required prior to soldering, including cleaning, flux application, and heat control. Ensure complete capillary action through joint to prevent leak points. The reducing tee must be installed in accordance with local and national plumbing codes applicable to copper systems.

Typical Applications

Used in domestic water systems, chilled water distribution, and heating applications. This fitting is commonly specified when branching off a larger main pipe to a reduced-size lateral connection, especially in wall cavities or mechanical spaces where compact transitions are necessary.

Material Note

Wrot copper is selected for its corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and mechanical strength under pressure. Lead-free alloys meet federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requirements and are approved for use in potable water systems across all U.S. jurisdictions.
