Copper Reducing Tee 611R
The NIBCO 611R is a wrot copper sweat fitting designed for potable water lines. It joins two 1-1/4 inch copper tubes with a 3/8 inch branch in a reducing tee configuration.
Sweat Connection Requirements
Each of the three ports uses a cup connection that must be soldered to the matching tube outer diameters of 1-3/8 inch, 1-3/8 inch and 1/2 inch respectively. The fitting replaces a straight coupling and adds a branch without extra joints.
No Accessories Included
The package contains only the reducing tee itself; no flux, solder or pipe sections are supplied. Installers must provide their own consumables and tools to complete the sweat connections.

Questions about this item
What is the maximum water pressure this reducing tee can handle?
The NIBCO 611R wrought copper reducing tee is rated for standard potable water system pressures. Its sweat cup connections on all three ends (1-1/4 in, 1-1/4 in, 3/8 in CTS) form permanent, leak-free joints when properly soldered.
Does the copper fitting get hot to the touch when carrying hot water continuously?
Copper conducts heat efficiently, so the tee body will reach the temperature of the water inside. Insulate the fitting and connected piping runs to prevent heat loss and protect against accidental contact burns.
What copper tube sizes and tools are needed to install this tee?
You need Type K, L, or M copper tubing in 1-1/4 in (OD 1-3/8 in) for the two run ends and 3/8 in (OD 1/2 in) for the branch, plus a tubing cutter, cleaning brushes, lead-free solder, flux, and a torch for sweat connections.
