2 inch x 2 inch x 1 inch Copper Reducing Tee Copper x Copper x Copper

2” x 2” x 1” Copper Reducing Tee – C x C x C

The 2” x 2” x 1” Copper Reducing Tee is engineered for joining copper tubing of varying diameters in water supply and hydronic heating systems. With two 2-inch copper sockets and a 1-inch reduced branch, this tee allows for streamlined directional transitions while maintaining system integrity and flow efficiency.

Product Specifications

• End Connections: Copper x Copper x Copper (sweat/solder connections)
• Material: Lead-free wrought copper (ASTM B75/B88 compliant)
• Size: 2 inch main run x 1 inch branch outlet
• Standards: NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF/ANSI 372 certified for potable water use
• Pressure Rating: Suitable for up to 200 PSI non-shock in water systems

Installation Considerations

This tee is designed for soldered (sweat) connections. Proper cleaning, fluxing, and soldering with lead-free solder are required to ensure leak-free joints. Ensure that all tubing is properly cut, reamed, and cleaned before assembly. Soldering should be performed using a heat source capable of evenly distributing temperature to all three sockets. Compliance with IPC, UPC, and local codes is required for potable and hydronic applications.

Applications

• Potable water distribution systems in residential and commercial installations
• Branch connections in copper piping for hot and cold water supply lines
• Hydronic heating system distribution piping

Performance Advantages

• Precision Fit: Tight dimensional tolerances reduce joint gaps and improve solder flow
• Reduced Branch Flow Turbulence: Uniform tee geometry supports consistent water velocity at branch outlet
• Corrosion Resistance: High-purity copper minimizes scaling and internal corrosion
• Regulatory Compliance: Lead-free construction meets Safe Drinking Water Act requirements in all U.S. jurisdictions

Did You Know?

Copper fittings like this one not only provide superior thermal resistance but also allow for antimicrobial protection in potable water systems—a factor increasingly considered in institutional and multi-unit residential designs.

For contractors seeking a reliable solution for pipe size transitions, the 2” x 2” x 1” Copper Reducing Tee delivers long-term performance in demanding field conditions. Its structural consistency and compliance with all major plumbing codes make it a key component in professional-grade installations.
