1-1/2 Inch x 1-1/2 Inch x 3/4 Inch Copper Press Reducing Tee – Lead-Free

This copper press reducing tee provides a reliable solution for transitioning from 1-1/2 inch branch and run lines to a 3/4 inch outlet. Designed for use in potable water, hydronic heating, and other pressurized plumbing systems, this fitting is fabricated from lead-free copper and meets current code requirements for residential and commercial applications.

Product Features

• Press Connection Ends: All three outlets feature press-fit ends for quick, flame-free installation using a compatible pressing tool.
• Material: Wrot copper, lead-free alloy complying with NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 for potable water use.
• Configuration: Reducing tee with two 1-1/2 inch press connections and one 3/4 inch press connection.
• Operating Pressure: Rated for up to 200 PSI in water and hydronic systems when installed per manufacturer’s instructions.
• Temperature Range: Suitable for continuous operation up to 250°F.

Applications

Ideal for use in pressurized plumbing systems, this copper tee is commonly used in:

• Potable water distribution lines
• Closed-loop hydronic heating systems
• Plumbing retrofits requiring branch reductions
• Installations where open flame is restricted or impractical

Installation Guidance

This press tee must be installed using a compatible press tool and properly sized jaws. Pipe ends must be cleaned and deburred before insertion to ensure sealing integrity. Visual indicators or tool confirmation features help verify a secure press joint. No soldering, flux, or heat is required, reducing installation time and safety risk.

Code and Compliance

• Complies with ASTM B75, B88 (Type L or M), and B16.51
• Certified to NSF/ANSI 61 & 372 for drinking water applications
• Meets IPC, UPC, and IRC plumbing code requirements
• Third-party listed for use in systems requiring lead-free components

Additional Considerations

Press fittings offer speed and consistency in high-volume plumbing installations while minimizing system downtime. Proper calibration and maintenance of the pressing tool is essential for long-term performance. Always verify local code requirements before use.

The 1-1/2 inch x 1-1/2 inch x 3/4 inch copper press reducing tee is a durable, code-compliant solution for plumbing professionals requiring secure, flame-free transitions between piping sizes. Its lead-free construction and reliable joint performance make it a preferred choice for modern plumbing systems.
