3/4 inch x 1/2 inch x 3/4 inch Copper Reducing Tee – Lead-Free, Code-Compliant Transition Fitting

The 3/4 inch x 1/2 inch x 3/4 inch Copper Reducing Tee provides an efficient solution for branching and reducing copper tube lines. Constructed from lead-free copper, this tee allows for a 90-degree outlet while reducing one of the branches, offering compact flow control in confined piping configurations.

Product Applications

This fitting is suitable for use in domestic water distribution, chilled water systems, hydronic heating, and other pressure-rated copper tube systems. The reducing outlet allows for integration of smaller service lines or fixtures, especially in branch circuits or appliance connections.

Key Features and Performance Characteristics

• Material: Lead-free wrought copper (ASTM B75/B88 compliant)
• Sizes: Inlet – 3/4 inch, Outlet – 1/2 inch, Run – 3/4 inch
• Connection Type: Solder (cup x cup x cup)
• Pressure Rating: Suitable for up to 200 psi in standard copper tubing systems
• Temperature Range: Up to 400°F with soldered joints using appropriate filler alloy

Installation and Compatibility

Install using standard soldering practices. Surfaces should be cleaned and fluxed prior to assembly. Compatible with type K, L, and M copper tubing. Ensure compatibility with local codes and applicable standards such as ASME B16.22 and NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 for potable water systems.

Code and Material Compliance

This reducing tee complies with lead-free requirements under the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act and is approved for use in potable water applications. It meets third-party certifications for mechanical strength, dimensional tolerances, and material safety.

Typical Use Cases

Widely used in residential and commercial plumbing layouts, particularly in manifold configurations, fixture branches, and retrofit conditions where space efficiency and consistent flow control are critical.
