1-1/2 inch x 1 inch x 1 inch Copper Reducing Tee – For Multi-Size Copper Branch Distribution

The 1-1/2 inch x 1 inch x 1 inch Copper Reducing Tee is a precision-formed fitting used to transition between copper pipes of varying diameters in a three-way configuration. It enables directional branching from a larger main line to two smaller equal branches, making it ideal for potable water distribution, mechanical piping, and hydronic systems.

Manufactured from lead-free copper, this fitting meets current federal and state code requirements and is compatible with Type L and Type M copper tubing. It supports soldered (sweat) connections and is suitable for pressure-rated installations across residential and commercial systems.

Performance Features

• ✅ Reduced Outlet Design – Allows smooth transition from a 1-1/2 inch main to two 1 inch branches with minimal hydraulic disruption.
• ✅ Code-Compliant Material – Lead-free copper construction certified for use in potable water systems under ANSI/NSF 61-G.
• ✅ Uniform Socket Depth – Promotes even solder flow and full bonding across all three connection points.
• ✅ Corrosion Resistance – Suitable for systems exposed to varying water chemistries or temperature fluctuations.
• ✅ Compact Tee Configuration – Supports installation in tight mechanical spaces or concealed pipe chases.

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Sizes: 1-1/2 inch x 1 inch x 1 inch
• Material: Lead-Free Copper (ASTM B88)
• Connection Type: Sweat (Copper x Copper x Copper)
• Certifications: ANSI/NSF 61-G, Safe Drinking Water Act Compliant

Installation Guidance

This fitting is installed using standard copper soldering techniques. All pipe ends and fitting sockets must be reamed, cleaned, and fluxed. Heat should be applied evenly around each joint to ensure capillary action is achieved throughout. System pressure testing should be conducted after installation per local plumbing code requirements.

Typical Applications

Used in domestic cold and hot water supply lines, hydronic heating branches, and pressure-loop transitions. Often applied in residential and light commercial construction where multiple line sizes must be joined in a compact tee arrangement.

Regulatory Compliance

Meets lead-free standards mandated by federal law and adopted across all 50 U.S. states. Approved for potable water system use in accordance with national plumbing code.

The 1-1/2 inch x 1 inch x 1 inch Copper Reducing Tee offers a reliable, code-compliant solution for multi-diameter copper transitions. Its dimensional accuracy, solder-ready configuration, and corrosion-resistant construction make it a trusted component for professionals working in pressure-rated copper piping networks.
