Mueller Industries, Inc. STREAMLINE W 04004 Copper Reducing Tee

Streamline W 04004 Reducing Tee

The Streamline W 04004 is a wrot copper reducing tee designed for sweat connections in potable water systems. It joins a 3/8 inch copper tube on the run to two 1/4 inch copper tube branches using cup fittings on all three ports. The fitting comes precleaned and includes no centre stop, allowing full tube insertion for a secure joint.

For Plumbers Needing a 3/8 to 1/4 Inch Transition

This tee suits installers reducing a 3/8 inch supply line down to two 1/4 inch outlets in residential or light commercial plumbing. It is not for technicians who require a centre stop to limit insertion depth, nor for systems that demand threaded, compression or push-fit connections instead of soldered sweat joints. Builders needing different tube size combinations or larger diameter reductions should look at other fittings.

Capacity for Standard Potable Water Branch Lines

The fitting comfortably handles typical hot and cold water distribution pressures found in domestic plumbing, providing two equal 1/4 inch branches from a single 3/8 inch main. It runs out when the system design calls for a centre stop to control tube depth, when the tube sizes differ from the 3/8 by 1/4 by 1/4 inch configuration, or when the application requires a non-copper material or a different jointing method.
