3/4 inch Cast Brass Tee Copper x Copper x Female

3/4 inch Copper Press Tee – Lead-Free, Press x Press x FIPT Configuration

The 3/4 inch Copper Press Tee (Press x Press x Female Iron Pipe Thread) is a mechanically joined copper fitting used for branching off copper tube systems with a threaded outlet. This configuration allows integration of valves, threaded pipe, or specialty components while maintaining a flame-free installation process.

Manufactured from lead-free wrought copper alloy (C12200), this tee complies with current potable water standards and is suitable for domestic water distribution, hydronic heating, and closed-loop systems. It includes factory-installed EPDM sealing elements and is compatible with standard press tool systems.

Product Features

• ✅ Press x Press x FIPT Design – Facilitates fast, solder-free connections to copper tubing with a threaded branch for male pipe or fittings.
• ✅ Lead-Free Construction – Meets NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 for potable water use in all jurisdictions.
• ✅ Uniform Wall Thickness – Supports consistent pressure handling and thermal expansion performance.
• ✅ Factory-Installed Seals – EPDM sealing elements are suitable for hot and cold water applications, including glycol mixes in heating systems.

Installation Requirements

Use manufacturer-approved press tools and jaws for 3/4 inch copper fittings. Cut pipe square, deburr, and mark insertion depth before pressing. Do not use oil or lubricants on sealing surfaces. Apply PTFE tape or thread sealant to the male-threaded component before threading into the FIPT outlet. Verify press integrity with visual indicators or tool diagnostics where applicable.

Typical Applications

This fitting is commonly installed in copper potable water systems where a threaded component (e.g., pressure gauge, boiler drain, or isolation valve) must be integrated into a main line. Suitable for new construction or retrofit in residential, commercial, and light industrial systems.

Compliance Note

Required for use in lead-free potable water installations under U.S. federal law and local plumbing codes. Sealing elements rated for use up to 200°F and 200 PSI in most standard applications.

The 3/4 inch Copper Press Tee with Female Threaded Branch provides a fast, code-compliant solution for connecting copper tubing to threaded system components, reducing installation time and supporting high-integrity system performance in professional plumbing environments.
