3/4 inch Cast Brass Tee Copper x Female x Copper

3/4 Inch Cast Brass Tee – Copper x Female NPT x Copper Configuration

This 3/4 inch cast brass tee features a copper sweat connection on the run with a threaded female NPT branch. It is designed to allow direct connection between copper tubing and threaded components in potable water and hydronic piping systems. This hybrid configuration is commonly used for branching to threaded valves, supply risers, or equipment terminations.

Product Features

• ✅ Connection Type: Two copper cup ends (for soldered joints) with one FIP (Female Iron Pipe) threaded branch
• ✅ Material: Cast lead-free brass, compliant with NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 for potable water applications
• ✅ Nominal Size: 3/4 inch
• ✅ Pressure Rating: Suitable for standard residential and commercial water supply systems

Applications

• Branching a soldered main to a threaded fixture or valve
• Water distribution systems requiring mixed joint types
• Integration of threaded devices into copper tubing lines

Installation Guidelines

For the copper ends, use standard cleaning and fluxing methods, and solder using lead-free solder per local code. The female NPT branch requires PTFE tape or thread sealant to ensure leak resistance. Avoid over-torquing the threaded connection to prevent damage to the fitting or connected component.

This tee is suitable for both new construction and retrofit work, particularly where threaded and soldered systems must interface. Installation must comply with relevant plumbing code requirements, including pressure and temperature limits.

Material Performance Note

Cast brass offers mechanical durability and long-term corrosion resistance, particularly in potable water systems. The use of lead-free alloys ensures compliance with federal and state regulations regarding drinking water safety.
