1-1/4” x 1” x 1” Copper Reducing Tee – Solder Joint, Lead-Free

The 1-1/4” Copper Reducing Tee is a dependable solution for transitioning between different line sizes in copper pressure systems. Manufactured from high-grade copper, this tee delivers consistent performance in potable water, HVAC, and hydronic applications where reduced flow paths are required without compromising structural integrity.

Performance Features

• Alloy: C12200 seamless copper construction, suitable for above-ground pressure applications
• Joint Type: Solder cup connections on all three outlets for permanent, reliable joins
• Dimensional Precision: Fabricated to ASME B16.22 specifications, ensuring compatibility with standard copper tube sizes
• Compliance: Lead-free certified under NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF 372 for use in potable water systems

Applications

This reducing tee is commonly used in Type L and Type M copper piping systems, facilitating direction changes while reducing branch line diameter. Suitable for use in commercial, industrial, and residential water supply lines, as well as in hot water return and chilled water loops.

Installation Considerations

To ensure code-compliant installation, use with lead-free solder and flux in accordance with local and national plumbing codes. Pipe ends should be clean and properly prepped to achieve a full-bond soldered joint. Proper heat application and alignment are critical for long-term joint integrity.

Technical Summary

• End Connections: Socket x Socket x Socket
• Outlet Sizes: Run – 1-1/4”, Branch – 1”
• Material: Wrought copper
• Working Pressure: 200–400 PSI (depending on solder alloy and pipe type)
• Temperature Rating: Up to 400°F (with appropriate solder)

Designed for long service life and minimal maintenance in soldered copper systems, this reducing tee supports efficient space-saving layouts while maintaining system integrity.
