Press-Fit Carbon Steel Reducing Tee – 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/2"

The 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/2" Press-Fit Reducing Tee is designed for high-integrity connections in potable water, hydronic heating, and low-pressure closed-loop systems. Manufactured from carbon steel, this tee provides reliable performance in press systems that demand both strength and long-term durability.

Product Overview

• Material: Carbon steel (EP-coated for corrosion protection)
• Size: 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/2"
• Connection Type: Press x Press x Press (C x C x C)
• Seal Element: EPDM sealing element pre-installed in each press end
• Operating Pressure: Up to 200 psi (dependent on system design)
• Temperature Range: 0°F to 250°F
• Certifications: Complies with ASME B16.51, ANSI/NSF 61, and lead-free requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act

Performance Benefits

• Secure Mechanical Seal: Factory-installed EPDM o-rings ensure leak-resistant sealing under pressure.
• Reduced Installation Time: Eliminates the need for soldering or threading, increasing efficiency on-site.
• Clean Assembly: Flame-free and ideal for installation in finished or combustible spaces.
• High Strength: Carbon steel body provides excellent mechanical strength and rigidity.

Installation Notes

Compatible with standard press-fit tooling calibrated for carbon steel systems. Ensure pipe ends are clean, deburred, and marked to full insertion depth before pressing. For potable water systems, verify all fittings and pipe are NSF 61-certified. No additional sealing compounds or tape are needed with integrated o-ring technology.

Applications

This reducing tee is widely used in:

• Closed-loop hydronic heating circuits
• Potable water distribution (cold and hot)
• Chilled water and condenser water loops
• Low-pressure compressed air systems

Did You Know?

Press systems using carbon steel are a preferred alternative to threaded or welded joints in commercial construction due to their speed, cleanliness, and reduced labor cost—while maintaining high system integrity.

The 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/2" Press-Fit Reducing Tee offers the strength of steel and the convenience of modern press technology. Built to meet the demands of commercial plumbing systems, this fitting delivers reliable service life while supporting streamlined installations.
