1 Inch x 1 Inch x 3/4 Inch Copper Press Reducing Tee – Lead-Free

The 1" x 1" x 3/4" Copper Press Reducing Tee is a mechanically joined fitting used to create a branch connection in copper press piping systems. Manufactured from lead-free copper, it provides a reliable transition from a 1-inch mainline to a 3/4-inch branch using press-to-connect technology. This configuration is common in potable water, hydronic heating, and other low-pressure systems requiring dimensional reduction at the branch.

Performance and Application Benefits

This fitting allows for quick and flame-free installation, eliminating the need for soldering. Designed to maintain system integrity under pressure, it offers a clean, professional solution for tight jobsite conditions and high-volume installations.

• ✅ Press x Press x Press Connections Compatible with standard V-profile press tools for reliable and uniform sealing.
• ✅ Lead-Free Copper (C12200) Compliant with NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 standards for use in potable water systems.
• ✅ Dimensional Accuracy Fabricated to ASME B16.51 standards for secure pipe fitment and leak resistance.
• ✅ Reduced Installation Time Ideal for use in commercial or residential plumbing layouts requiring quick turnaround.
