Copper Reducing Tee 2-1/2 x 1 x 2-1/2

This copper reducing tee connects three pipe sections with a 1-inch branch between two 2-1/2-inch runs. It suits plumbers and contractors working on residential or commercial water supply systems. The C x C x C sweat connections require standard soldering technique for a permanent joint. Buyers needing push-fit or threaded ends should select a different fitting type.

Lead-free alloy meets Proposition 65 disclosure

The fitting contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Normal installation heat does not change the material classification. Installers should follow local codes for ventilation and personal protection when soldering. No thermal or acoustic performance data applies to this static component.

Standard dimensions simplify pipe layout

The inside diameters measure 2-1/2, 1 and 2-1/2 inches while the outside diameters measure 2-5/8, 1-1/8 and 2-5/8 inches. These industry-standard sizes allow direct integration with common copper tubing. No additional bushings, adapters or software are supplied with the fitting.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 450-285 copper reducing tee and what step is often missed?

Clean the 2-1/2" and 1" copper tube ends, apply flux, insert fully into each C x C socket, then solder all three joints; the missed step is skipping flux or not heating each joint evenly.

What maintenance or replacement will the 450-285 tee need later?

The tee itself requires no scheduled maintenance; inspect solder joints periodically for leaks or green corrosion and replace the fitting if a joint fails.

What limit appears first on the 450-285 tee under sustained hot-water use?

The solder joint temperature rating is the first limit; sustained water temperatures above the solder melting point will cause joint failure.
