Reducing Tee for Potable Water

This sweat fitting connects two 1 1/4 inch copper tubes to a 3/4 inch female pipe thread. The cast bronze body is certified low-lead for potable water applications. It suits plumbers and installers working on residential or light commercial supply lines.

Sweat and Threaded Connection Limits

The two cup ends accept 1 1/4 inch copper tube with a 1 3/8 inch outer diameter for soldered joints. The branch end provides a 3/4 inch FNPT thread for threaded pipe or adapters. Maximum operating pressure is 391 psi, so the fitting must not be used in systems that exceed this rating.

Low-Lead Cast Bronze Material

The body is cast bronze meeting low-lead requirements for drinking water safety. This specification determines whether the fitting complies with local plumbing codes for potable systems. Installers who need a different alloy or a non-potable rating should select another product.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 x 3/4 in reducing tee or a different size for my copper lines?

Select this tee when your main run uses 1 1/4 in copper tube on both straight ports and you need a 3/4 in threaded branch; match the tube outer diameter of 1 3/8 in on each sweat end.

What does the 391 psi rating mean once the tee is installed in a potable water system?

The joint is rated for continuous service up to 391 psi at the maximum operating temperature allowed for the piping material; do not exceed this pressure in the installed system.

How do the sweat and FNPT connections affect what pipe I can join to each port?

The two 1 1/4 in ports accept copper tube for sweat soldering; the 3/4 in port accepts male NPT threads for threaded pipe or adapters.
