3/4 inch x 1/2 inch x 1/2inch PEX Brass Reducing Insert Tee Crimp x Crimp x Crimp

3/4 inch x 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch PEX Reducing Insert Tee – Brass, Crimp Connection

The 3/4 inch x 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch PEX Reducing Insert Tee provides a robust solution for transitioning between pipe sizes in potable water distribution systems. This insert-style brass tee supports ASTM-compliant crimp connections and is engineered for reliability under sustained pressure and temperature conditions.

Fitting Overview

Designed for use with SDR9 PEX tubing, this lead-free brass tee features a 3/4 inch inlet with two 1/2 inch branch outlets, making it ideal for creating branch lines off a main supply. The fitting is compatible with copper crimp rings and stainless steel clamps, offering flexibility for system design and installation.

• ✅ Material: Lead-free dezincification-resistant brass (DZR) for corrosion resistance and potable water safety
• ✅ Connection: Crimp x Crimp x Crimp configuration, suitable for ASTM F1807 PEX installation methods
• ✅ Working Pressure: Rated up to 200 psi at 200°F when installed to code
• ✅ Precision Machining: Barbed insert ends manufactured to tight tolerances for consistent sealing

Installation Guidelines

This reducing tee should be installed using an approved PEX crimp tool. Ensure full insertion of the tubing and correct positioning of the crimp rings or clamps. No sealants or adhesives are required—mechanical compression provides the seal. Always verify crimp ring integrity with a go/no-go gauge for compliance.

Common Applications

Widely used in residential and light commercial PEX systems, this reducing tee is ideal for:

• Potable cold and hot water supply lines
• Branch line transitions from 3/4 inch mains to 1/2 inch fixtures
• Distribution manifolds and remote fixture drops

Certifications

• NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 certified for potable water
• Conforms to ASTM F1807 and CSA B137.5 standards
• Complies with federal low-lead legislation (≤0.25% lead content)

Note

Intended for use with PEX tubing only. Not compatible with copper, CPVC, or other rigid piping. All installations must comply with applicable local and national plumbing codes.

For contractors seeking long-term performance and code-compliant solutions in PEX systems, the 3/4 inch x 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch Brass Reducing Insert Tee provides the durability, strength, and ease of installation required for high-efficiency water distribution.
