1 inch x 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch Copper Press Reducing Tee Copper x Copper x Copper

1” x 3/4” x 3/4” Copper Press Reducing Tee – Press x Press x Press

The 1” x 3/4” x 3/4” Copper Press Reducing Tee is a lead-free fitting designed for joining copper tubing in potable water, hydronic heating, and other pressure-rated piping systems. Manufactured from wrought copper (ASTM B75 alloy C12200), the tee features press-fit connections for fast, solder-free installation and includes a reducing branch outlet to facilitate size transitions within the system.

Press fittings are used in systems where time, cleanliness, and fire-free installation are priorities. Each connection incorporates an EPDM sealing element and is engineered for permanent mechanical compression using approved press tools that comply with system certification requirements.

Typical Applications

This copper press reducing tee is used in domestic water supply systems, closed-loop hydronic heating circuits, and approved low-pressure commercial piping layouts. Its design allows for compact installation in wall cavities, mechanical rooms, and ceiling spaces where directional flow and size transitions are required.

Installation Notes

Install using manufacturer-approved press tools and jaws that match the fitting size and profile. Ensure all tube ends are cut square, reamed, and free of debris prior to pressing. Follow standard practices for insertion depth marking and verification of O-ring integrity before joining. No flux, solder, or external sealant is required.

The 1” x 3/4” x 3/4” Copper Press Reducing Tee is a field-proven solution for professional installers seeking fast, reliable, and code-compliant copper piping connections. Its durable construction and mechanical sealing system support long-term performance under pressure.
