3 inch x 2 inch Copper Reducing Tee – For Diameter Transition in Copper Tube Branching

The 3 inch x 2 inch Copper Reducing Tee is designed to facilitate a branch connection between copper pipes of varying diameters. It allows for directional flow from a 3-inch main line to a 2-inch branch while maintaining structural integrity and compliance with pressure-rated copper piping systems. Suitable for both potable and mechanical applications, this tee supports sweat (soldered) connections with Type L or Type M copper tubing.

Manufactured from lead-free copper in accordance with ASTM B88 standards and ANSI/NSF 61-G certification, this fitting meets national requirements for use in potable water systems. Its precision-formed body ensures dimensional accuracy and consistent soldering performance.

Product Features

• ✅ Reducing Configuration – Designed to branch from a 3 inch main to a 2 inch outlet using a single, compact fitting.
• ✅ Lead-Free Copper Alloy – Complies with Safe Drinking Water Act requirements and state plumbing codes.
• ✅ Uniform Socket Dimensions – Facilitates full solder fill for long-lasting joints and minimized flow restriction.
• ✅ Corrosion Resistance – Suitable for domestic water systems and hydronic piping exposed to variable conditions.

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Size: 3 inch x 2 inch x 3 inch
• Material: Lead-Free Copper (ASTM B88)
• Connection Type: Sweat (Copper x Copper x Copper)

Installation Guidelines

Standard soldering practices apply. Pipe ends must be properly reamed, cleaned, and fluxed prior to insertion. Apply heat evenly to all three sockets and allow solder to flow fully into each joint. Post-installation pressure testing is recommended in accordance with applicable codes. This fitting is not designed for use with threaded systems or mechanical couplings.

Typical Applications

Used in commercial and residential water distribution systems, hydronic loop transitions, and mechanical system layouts where pipe size reduction is required mid-run. Commonly specified for use in risers, horizontal supply lines, and manifold assemblies requiring a reduced branch outlet.

Regulatory Compliance

This product meets all federal and state requirements for lead-free construction and is certified for potable water use in all 50 states under the Safe Drinking Water Act.

The 3 inch x 2 inch Copper Reducing Tee provides a durable, code-compliant solution for high-capacity copper systems requiring dimensional transitions at branch points. Engineered for reliability and ease of installation, this fitting is a dependable choice for contractors working in pressure-rated copper installations.
