Copper Reducing Tee for Plumbing

This Nibco 611R reducing tee joins three copper tubes in a potable-water system. The fitting uses sweat connections on all three outlets for permanent soldered joints. It is made from wrot copper and suits new installations or repairs.

Sweat Connections and Wrot Copper Build

All three ports accept cup-style sweat fittings so the installer solders directly to the tube. The wrot copper body resists corrosion in potable water and handles typical household pressures. The reducing layout lets you step from 1/4 in to 5/16 in tube sizes without extra adapters.

Limits of the Sweat-Fit Standard

Sweat joints require clean tube ends, flux and a torch, so the method is slower than press or push-fit alternatives. The joint is permanent; disassembly means cutting the tube. The fitting is restricted only by local plumbing codes that may limit copper use in certain applications.
