SKU CH-7ZD2-FR38G

Copper reducing tee connects 2 in, 1-1/2 in and 2 in tubes for potable-water sweat joints

  • Reduces pipe diameter for flexible plumbing layouts
  • Sweat cup connections create strong soldered joints
  • Wrot copper construction resists corrosion in potable water
  • Lead-free material meets safe drinking water standards
  • Three cup ends simplify branch line installation

Copper Reducing Tee For Potable Water Systems

This sweat fitting tee connects three copper tubes in a reducing configuration for potable water installations. It is designed for plumbers and contractors who need a reliable branch connection between different tube sizes. The wrot copper construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for domestic water supply.

Reducing Branch With 2 Inch Run

The fitting features a 2 inch copper tube size on both run ends and a 1 1/2 inch copper tube size on the branch outlet. This specific reduction determines whether the tee matches the piping layout required for the job. All three connections use cup ends for solder joining.

Sweat Installation Requires Clean Tubing

Installation is straightforward for anyone experienced with soldering copper pipe using standard tools and flux. The most common issues occur when tube ends are not thoroughly cleaned or when insufficient heat prevents the solder from flowing completely around each cup joint.

Highlights

  • Reduces pipe diameter for flexible plumbing layouts
  • Sweat cup connections create strong soldered joints
  • Wrot copper construction resists corrosion in potable water
  • Lead-free material meets safe drinking water standards
  • Three cup ends simplify branch line installation

Questions about this item

How does the 2 x 1-1/2 x 2 in sizing work once the tee is soldered into a real copper system?

The run accepts 2 in copper tube on both ends while the branch takes 1-1/2 in tube, so a single tee joins a main line to a smaller supply without extra reducers.

What does the sweat cup connection cap in practice for potable water lines?

Each cup end is soldered directly to the matching tube outer diameter, creating a permanent leak-free joint rated for potable water service.

What tube outer diameters must the installer have on hand to fit this wrot copper reducing tee?

The two run ports need 2 1/8 in OD tube and the branch needs 1 5/8 in OD tube for a proper sweat fit.
