1 inch x 3/4 inch x 1 inch Brass Reducing Tee Copper x Female x Copper

1 inch x 3/4 inch x 1 inch Brass Reducing Tee – C x FIPT x C

The 1 inch x 3/4 inch x 1 inch Brass Reducing Tee provides a transition point between two 1-inch copper pipe connections and a reduced 3/4-inch female-threaded outlet. Designed for use in potable water distribution systems, this tee enables integration of copper tubing with threaded components in mixed-material assemblies. Made from lead-free brass, it meets current U.S. code requirements for drinking water systems.

Product Features

• ✅ Configuration: Copper sweat ends (1 inch x 1 inch) with a 3/4 inch female NPT branch outlet
• ✅ Material: Lead-free brass compliant with NSF/ANSI 61 and 372
• ✅ Application: Transitions between soldered copper tubing and threaded brass or iron pipe fittings
• ✅ Working Pressure: Suitable for use in residential and light commercial water systems
• ✅ Temperature Rating: Compatible with soldered connections up to 400°F under intermittent service

Technical Specifications

• End Connections: 1 inch sweat x 3/4 inch FIPT x 1 inch sweat
• Material Type: Brass, lead-free (<0.25% weighted average)
• Standards: ASME B16.18, NSF/ANSI 61 & 372, UPC/IAPMO listed

Installation Requirements

The two copper sweat ends should be cleaned, fluxed, and joined using lead-free solder and approved flux. The female-threaded branch should be installed using PTFE tape or approved thread sealant to ensure a watertight connection. Over-tightening of threaded joints should be avoided to prevent thread distortion or cracking.

Use Cases

This reducing tee is typically installed in:

• Potable water lines requiring a branch to a threaded valve or fixture
• Mixed-material plumbing assemblies (copper-to-brass or copper-to-galvanized transitions)
• Hot and cold water supply lines in new construction and remodel projects

Code Compliance

Lead-free brass is required for potable water systems in all 50 U.S. states under the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act. This fitting meets those requirements when installed per local code and manufacturer guidelines.

The 1 inch x 3/4 inch x 1 inch Brass Reducing Tee offers a reliable method for branching off copper tubing to a smaller-diameter threaded connection. Its durable construction and compliant design make it suitable for use in both residential and commercial water distribution systems.
