SKU CH-36XM-BHECN

Cast bronze reducing tee connects three copper lines at up to 395 psi and 400 °F

  • Cast bronze construction resists corrosion in water systems
  • Reducing tee joins 1 in and 1/2 in copper lines
  • Solder cup connections create leak-free joints
  • Rated 395 psi at 200 °F for high-pressure supply
  • Meets ASME B16.18 standard for plumbing fittings

Nibco 712R Cast Bronze Reducing Tee

This Nibco 712R cast bronze reducing tee connects a 1 in tube run to a 1/2 in branch using solder cup and female NPT ends. It is suited for plumbing and heating circuits that require a durable pressure-rated junction.

Verify tube size and thread type before ordering

Confirm that your existing copper tubing measures 1 in outside diameter and that the branch connection requires a 1/2 in female NPT thread. The fitting is rated for 395 psi at 200 Degrees F and operates from -20 Degrees to 400 Degrees F, so ensure system pressure and temperature stay within these limits.

Solder-ready ends simplify installation

The C x C x FNPT configuration lets you sweat the two 1 in cups directly to copper pipe while the 1/2 in female thread accepts standard pipe nipples or valves without adapters. Compliance with ASME B 16.18 confirms dimensional consistency for reliable joint integrity.

Questions about this item

What comes with the Nibco 712R reducing tee and what must I buy separately?

The fitting is supplied as a single cast bronze tee with C x C x FNPT ends. You will need to purchase copper tube, solder, flux and any required pipe sealant separately.

How do I choose the correct version of this reducing tee?

The 712R is offered in one configuration: 1" x 1" x 1/2" with solder ends on the run and a female NPT branch. Select it when you need to join two 1" copper lines and add a 1/2" threaded outlet.

What does the 395 psi @ 200 °F rating mean when the tee is installed?

It indicates the maximum working pressure at 200 °F; the fitting handles up to 395 psi at that temperature and remains rated from -20 °F to 400 °F per ASME B16.18.
