  • Lead-free material meets drinking water safety standards

Copper Bullhead Tee for Potable Water

This wrot copper sweat fitting joins three copper tubes in a tee configuration. Two runs accept 1/2 inch nominal tube with 5/8 inch outer diameter, while the branch steps up to 5/8 inch nominal tube with 3/4 inch outer diameter. All three connections use cup-style sweat ends for permanent soldered joints. The fitting is approved for potable water systems.

Behaviour under sustained pressure

Wrot copper construction resists corrosion and scaling when exposed to continuous water flow and varying temperatures. Sweat joints create a metallurgical bond that will not loosen under vibration or thermal cycling. The tee maintains its shape and seal through repeated heating and cooling cycles typical of domestic hot and cold supply lines.

Replaces a straight coupling plus reducer

Install this single tee instead of combining a standard tee with a separate reducing coupling on the branch. The step-up from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch nominal size is built into the casting, eliminating one joint and reducing potential leak paths. The jump is worthwhile whenever a 5/8 inch branch feeds from a 1/2 inch main supply line.

Questions about this item

Does the 611BH tee need any special tools or flux to install?

Sweat the three cup connections with standard copper flux and a propane torch; no press tools or mechanical fittings are required.

What tube and fittings must I already have to use this tee?

You need 1/2 in nominal copper tube (5/8 in OD) for the two run ports and 5/8 in nominal tube (3/4 in OD) for the bullhead branch.

Can I join the 611BH to older copper pipe that has been in the wall for years?

Yes — clean the existing tube ends to bright copper, apply flux, and sweat the tee onto the old pipe just like new tubing.
