1-1/4 Inch X 1-1/4 Inch X 1/2 Inch Carbon Steel Press Water Reducing Tee for System Downsizing

The 1-1/4 inch x 1-1/4 inch x 1/2 inch carbon steel press water reducing tee is engineered for use in press-connect piping systems where a reduced branch size is required. Fabricated for performance in both residential and commercial water applications, this fitting provides structural integrity, dimensional accuracy, and long-term reliability under pressure.

Constructed from carbon steel and designed with a press connection interface, the reducing tee supports streamlined installations and consistent mechanical engagement using standard press tools. The reduction from a 1-1/4 inch main to a 1/2 inch outlet makes it ideal for supplying fixtures or secondary lines from larger mains.

Manufacturing and Performance Advantages

This component is produced using controlled forming and machining methods that contribute to field performance and installation efficiency:

• ✅ Formed Carbon Steel Body Provides excellent tensile strength and resistance to deformation under internal system pressure.
• ✅ Lead-Free Compliant Suitable for potable water installations in accordance with current plumbing codes.
• ✅ Machined Press Ends Engineered for uniform press tool engagement and consistent sealing.

Operational Efficiency for Contractors

By incorporating quality fittings like this press tee, contractors benefit from:

• ✅ Reduced Assembly Time Press-to-connect system eliminates the need for threading or welding.
• ✅ Installation Accuracy Tight tolerances help ensure proper pipe alignment and leak-free sealing.
• ✅ Standards Compliance Fitting meets health and safety requirements for use in drinking water systems.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Carbon Steel
• Dimensions: 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" x 1/2"
