Copper Reducing Tee for Potable Water

The Mueller Industries 4076 copper reducing tee connects three sweat-type copper tubes in a single branch fitting. It is intended for installers working on potable water systems who need to join 1-1/4 in, 1 in and 1/2 in tube sizes with a precleaned wrot copper body.

Sweat Connection Limits and Pressure Use

Each outlet uses a cup-style sweat connection that requires proper flux and solder technique to form a leak-free joint. The fitting is rated for standard potable water pressure and temperature ranges; it is not designed for gas, compressed air or high-temperature hydronic systems beyond typical domestic hot water service.

Three-Branch Capacity and Sizing Headroom

The tee reduces from a 1-1/4 in main run to a 1 in branch and a 1/2 in take-off, covering common distribution and fixture supply needs. It will not serve installations that require larger trunk sizes, additional outlets or press-fit and push-fit connection methods.

Questions about this item

Which reducing tee matches my 1-1/4", 1" and 1/2" copper tube sizes?

Model 4076 is a sweat fitting tee with cup connections for 1-1/4", 1" and 1/2" nominal copper tube, made from wrot copper for potable water systems.

What does the 1-1/4" x 1" x 1/2" sizing mean when I solder it in?

The three cup ends accept 1-3/8", 1-1/8" and 5/8" outside-diameter copper tube respectively, so each branch fits the matching tube size directly.

How does the sweat cup connection limit the pressure or temperature I can run?

The sweat cup joints are rated for standard potable water pressures and temperatures once properly soldered with lead-free alloy.
