2 Inch x 2 Inch x 1-1/4 Inch Copper Reducing Press Tee – Lead-Free, EPDM-Sealed

The 2 inch x 2 inch x 1-1/4 inch Copper Reducing Press Tee is designed for mechanically sealed connections in copper piping systems where branch size reduction is required. This press-fit tee supports fast installation without open flame and is rated for use in potable water and hydronic heating applications.

Product Features and Material Properties

This tee is fabricated from lead-free wrought copper and incorporates factory-installed EPDM sealing elements compatible with potable water and glycol solutions. Press connections reduce installation time and allow for code-compliant, flame-free assembly in new construction or retrofit settings.

• ✅ Press x Press x Press Configuration Enables three-way branching with reduced outlet size (2" x 2" x 1-1/4").
• ✅ Lead-Free Copper Construction Certified to NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 for use in drinking water systems.
• ✅ EPDM Sealing Elements Pre-installed gaskets provide uniform compression under press, ensuring a watertight seal.
• ✅ Formed to ASME Standards Manufactured in accordance with ASME B16.51 dimensional specifications.

Installation Requirements

Use with compatible copper tubing (Type L or M) and pressing equipment listed to ASTM F3226. Cut, deburr, and clean tubing prior to insertion. Mark insertion depth and complete press per tool manufacturer instructions. Suitable for applications up to 200 PSI and 250°F depending on system design and gasket compatibility.

• ✅ Tool Compatibility: Press jaws listed for copper fittings in the corresponding size range
• ✅ Installation Conditions: Indoor and accessible locations unless otherwise listed for concealed use
• ✅ No Solder or Flame Required Supports safe installation in finished or confined spaces

Typical Applications

This reducing press tee is commonly used in potable water supply systems, commercial plumbing assemblies, mechanical rooms, and heating distribution loops. Ideal where a reduced branch is needed without the use of bushings or additional transition fittings.
