Copper Reducing Tee 21/2 X 3/4 X 21/2

This copper reducing tee connects three pipes in a T configuration with two 2-1/2 inch ends and one 3/4 inch branch. It suits plumbers and contractors joining copper supply lines in residential or commercial water systems. The C x C x C sweat connections require soldering for a permanent, leak-free joint. Lead-free copper construction meets potable water standards.

Replaces worn fittings during repiping

Use this tee when upgrading galvanised or damaged copper tees during a repipe or remodel. The jump is worth it when the existing branch size no longer matches the fixture demand and a smaller outlet is required. It also fits new installations where a 3/4 inch take-off feeds a single appliance from a larger main. Sweat joints demand clean pipe ends and flux for reliable bonds.

Limited to copper pipe and solder joints

This fitting only joins Type K, L or M copper tubing of the matching nominal sizes. It cannot connect to PEX, CPVC, steel or threaded adapters without separate transition fittings. The solder process needs open flame, so tight spaces with flammable materials may rule it out. California Proposition 65 warnings apply due to chemical content.

Questions about this item

What pipe diameters does the 21/2 X 3/4 X 21/2 reducing tee connect?

The tee joins two 2-1/2" inside-diameter copper pipes with a 3/4" branch, all using sweat (C x C x C) connections.

Which installation step is most often missed when sweating this copper tee?

Thoroughly clean and flux both the pipe ends and the fitting sockets before heating; skipping this causes leaks.

How should the tee be inspected or maintained after installation?

Visually check the soldered joints for drips or green corrosion during routine plumbing inspections; replace the tee if any joint shows seepage.
