1-1/4 inch x 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch Copper Reducing Tee – Built for Code-Compliant Transitions

The 1-1/4 inch x 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch copper reducing tee is designed for precision-engineered transitions between varied copper tube sizes in pressurized water distribution systems. It features sweat (C x C x C) ends, allowing for secure solder connections that meet the performance standards demanded in commercial and residential installations.

Applications

Used in potable water systems, hydronic heating loops, and low-pressure HVAC branch takeoffs, this tee enables a clean branch connection off a 1-1/4” main with dual 3/4” lateral lines. The uniform copper alloy body ensures structural integrity in concealed and exposed piping layouts.

Features and Benefits

• ✅ Lead-Free Copper Alloy – Meets all applicable low-lead code requirements per the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).
• ✅ Full-Flow Design – Maintains pressure and minimizes turbulence through smooth interior bore transitions.
• ✅ Reliable Jointing Surface – Smooth sweat connections allow for strong, code-approved solder bonds with minimal prep.
• ✅ ASME/ANSI B16.22 Compliant – Manufactured to meet dimensional and pressure-rating requirements for copper solder fittings.

Product Specifications

• Material: Wrought copper alloy (lead-free)
• Sizes: Run: 1-1/4 inch | Branch: 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch
• Connection Type: Copper solder (C x C x C)
• Pressure Rating: Up to 200 PSI (depending on joint integrity and solder method)
• Compliance: ANSI/NSF 61 & 372, ASME B16.22, ASTM B75/B88 compatible

Installation Guidance

Install using approved flux and lead-free solder per local code. Clean, dry, and flux both mating surfaces before assembly. Heat joint evenly to achieve full solder flow around the circumference. Do not overheat to avoid annealing the copper or degrading solder bond strength.

Code Considerations

Required in jurisdictions mandating no-lead components for all potable water applications. Acceptable for use in new construction, retrofits, and repairs where size transition is needed from large-diameter mains to smaller branch lines.

For reliable performance and efficient branching in copper piping systems, this reducing tee provides a trusted solution that meets code, maintains flow, and minimizes installation time.
