Copper Bullhead Tee for Potable Water

This wrought copper sweat fitting joins three copper tubes in a tee configuration. It accepts 1-1/2 inch tube on two ports and 2 inch tube on the third port. The fitting is intended for potable water systems and is supplied new. Builders who need a reducing tee with different size combinations or press-fit connections cannot use this part.

Thermal Performance and Installation Heat

The copper body conducts heat rapidly during soldering, so even heating around each cup is required for a sound joint. No thermal rating, pressure rating or noise data is provided by the manufacturer. Installers who need documented pressure-temperature curves or listed pressure classes must consult the applicable code or specification separately.

Included Components and Compliance

The package contains only the bullhead tee itself; no flux, solder, cleaning abrasives or insulation are bundled. The item is not restricted from sale in any listed state. Projects that require kits with companion fittings or pre-applied sealant will need those items sourced separately.

Questions about this item

How do I sweat the 1-1/2" and 2" copper ends without leaks?

Clean each tube end and the cup interiors with emery cloth, apply flux evenly, insert tubes fully into the 1-5/8" and 2-1/8" cups, then heat the fitting body evenly until solder flows into all three joints.

What upkeep does a wrot copper bullhead tee need after installation?

None under normal potable-water service; inspect joints visually during any system work and replace only if corrosion or mechanical damage appears.

What pressure or temperature limit will I hit first on a hot-water recirculation loop?

The copper material handles typical residential hot-water temperatures and pressures well beyond code minimums; the practical limit is the solder joint rating, not the tee itself.
