A sweat-fitting reducing tee joins 2 in, 1 in and 1 in copper tubes for potable-water systems

  • Reduces flow from 2 in to 1 in branches
  • Sweat connections enable leak-free solder joints
  • Wrot copper construction resists corrosion in potable water
  • Reducing tee design joins three copper tube sizes
  • Suitable for potable water supply installations

NIBCO 611 Copper Reducing Tee

This NIBCO 611 reducing tee connects a 2-inch copper main to two 1-inch branches using sweat cup connections on all three outlets. It is made from wrought copper for potable water systems and suits plumbers running new supply lines or altering existing copper pipework.

Replaces mismatched bushings and separate couplings

Using a single factory-made tee removes the leak paths and alignment hassles that come from joining a 2-inch line to 1-inch drops with multiple fittings. The jump is worth it whenever a clean, code-compliant branch is needed without stacking adapters.

Sweat installation requires flux, solder and a torch

Clean each tube end, apply flux, assemble the joint and heat evenly until solder flows into the cup. The main pitfalls are overheating the fitting, which burns the flux, and leaving debris inside the tubes, both of which cause pinhole leaks after pressure testing.

Questions about this item

What copper tube sizes does the 2 in x 1 in x 1 in reducing tee accept on each outlet?

The run takes 2 in copper tube and each branch takes 1 in copper tube, matching the listed copper tube sizes for sides A, B and C.

How do I make a leak-free sweat joint on the cup ends of this fitting?

Clean tube ends and fitting cups with emery cloth, apply flux, insert tubes fully, heat evenly with a torch and feed solder until the joint rings completely.

Will the wrot copper body need any corrosion-related replacement in potable water service?

Wrot copper resists corrosion in potable water; no scheduled replacement is required unless mechanical damage or dezincification occurs.
