Copper Reducing Tee

This Nibco 611R copper reducing tee joins three sweat connections in a tee configuration. Two outlets accept 1-1/2 inch nominal copper tube while the third reduces to 1-1/4 inch. The wrought copper body is intended for potable water systems. All three ends are cup type for standard solder installation.

For plumbers reducing a main line

The fitting suits installers who need to drop from a 1-1/2 inch trunk to a 1-1/4 inch branch while keeping a straight 1-1/2 inch run. It is not for systems that require threaded or press connections. Buyers who need equal outlets on all three ports should select a straight tee instead.

1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1-1/4 nominal sizing

The critical specification is the combination of nominal copper tube sizes: two ends at 1-1/2 inch and one at 1-1/4 inch. Matching these dimensions to the pipe being joined determines whether this reducing tee is the correct part for the job.

Questions about this item

What copper tube sizes must I already have to connect all three ends of the 611R reducing tee?

The tee accepts 1-1/2 in copper tube on two ends and 1-1/4 in copper tube on the third end, each with a cup sweat connection.

Can I join the 1-1/4 in branch of this tee to an existing 1-1/4 in copper line without changing the joint method?

Yes, the branch uses the same cup sweat connection as the larger ends, so it matches standard 1-1/4 in copper tubing joints.

How can I verify the 611R tee is correctly installed after sweating the joints?

Pressurise the potable-water system and inspect each cup joint for leaks; a dry, sealed joint on all three connections confirms proper installation.
