1 inch Copper Tee Copper x Copper

1 Inch Copper Tee – Sweat x Sweat x Sweat, Lead-Free

The 1" Copper Tee is a solder joint fitting used for branching copper tubing systems in potable water, hydronic heating, and low-pressure applications. Featuring three female solder (cup) ends, this tee allows for equal-size tubing connections, facilitating consistent layout across distribution lines.

Application and Performance Features

This fitting is designed for use in pressurized and non-pressurized copper systems requiring a perpendicular branch connection. Manufactured from wrought copper or cast bronze, it supports long-term performance under thermal cycling and internal system pressure.

• ✅ Uniform Wall Thickness Conforms to ASME B16.22 specifications, ensuring consistent durability and dimensional integrity.
• ✅ Lead-Free Material Manufactured to comply with NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 standards for potable water systems.
• ✅ Sweat Connections Suitable for soldered joints using ASTM B88 tubing (Types L and M).

Technical Specifications

• Material: C12200 Copper or equivalent lead-free alloy
• Size: 1 inch nominal
• Connection Type: Cup x Cup x Cup (Solder/Sweat)
• Compliance: ASME B16.22; NSF/ANSI 61 & 372
