1-1/4 inch x 1-1/4 inch x 1/2 inch Copper Press Tee – Lead-Free, CxCxC Press Connection

This 1-1/4 inch x 1-1/4 inch x 1/2 inch copper press tee is designed for use in potable water and hydronic systems requiring a branch connection from larger copper tubing. Fabricated from lead-free wrought copper and designed for press-fit installations, the tee allows for fast, flame-free assembly in commercial, institutional, and residential systems.

The fitting features three press connection ends compatible with standard ASTM B88 copper tubing and is equipped with EPDM sealing elements for cold and hot water applications. It meets applicable performance and safety standards including NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 for potable water systems.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Lead-free copper (ASTM B75/B88)
• Configuration: Tee, C x C x C (press-fit)
• Size: 1-1/4 inch run x 1/2 inch branch
• Sealing Element: EPDM (for water, air, glycol)
• Pressure Rating: 200 PSI (max), non-shock
• Temperature Range: 0°F to 250°F depending on system media
• Certifications: NSF/ANSI 61 & 372; IAPMO listed; compliant with IPC/UPC codes

Applications

Suitable for use in:

• • Potable water distribution (lead-free compliant)
• • Closed-loop hydronic heating and cooling systems
• • Commercial and institutional plumbing layouts
• • Multi-branch system configurations requiring reduced outlet sizing

Installation Guidelines

Prepare pipe ends in accordance with manufacturer instructions: deburr and clean to ensure sealing element integrity. Insert the pipe fully to the depth mark and complete press with a compatible pressing tool and jaws sized to the fitting. Do not attempt soldering. EPDM seals must remain undamaged; replace if contaminated or compromised.

Material Note

Lead-free copper press fittings are approved for use in all 50 states under federal Safe Drinking Water Act guidelines. They offer superior corrosion resistance, reduced installation time, and eliminate the need for open flame or flux in confined environments.
