  • Durable copper material resists corrosion in plumbing systems
  • Reducing tee design joins unequal tube sizes efficiently
  • Sweat fitting style ensures secure soldered joints

Copper Reducing Tee for 3 in & 1/2 in Lines

This Nibco wrought-copper reducing tee joins two 3-inch copper tubes with a 1/2-inch branch using sweat connections on all three ends. It is designed for potable-water systems where a smaller take-off is required from a larger main.

Installation checks before ordering

Verify that the existing pipe runs match the 3-1/8 in outer diameter on the main ports and the 5/8 in outer diameter on the branch port. Confirm that your local code permits sweat fittings for potable water and that you have the correct flux and solder for copper-to-copper joints.

Thermal and hydraulic behaviour

Copper construction conducts heat quickly, so the fitting will reach water temperature rapidly during use and cool down equally fast after flow stops. The smooth interior resists scale build-up and adds minimal pressure drop compared with threaded alternatives. The joint itself makes no noise; any sound comes from water velocity in the connected pipes.

Questions about this item

Does the 611 reducing tee include flux or solder, or must they be purchased separately?

The tee is a wrot copper fitting only; flux and solder are not included and must be bought separately.

When would I choose the 3 in x 3 in x 1/2 in reducing tee instead of an equal tee?

Choose this reducing tee when you need to branch a 1/2 in copper tube from a 3 in main line.

What do the 3 1/8 in and 5/8 in outer diameters mean when the tee is installed?

They match the actual outside diameters of 3 in and 1/2 in copper tube so the joint fits without adapters.
