Nibco, Inc. 611RR Reducing Tee 2-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 2-1/2 in

SKU CH-22WE-J2BRZ

Copper reducing tee joins 2-1/2 in and 1-1/2 in tubes with sweat connections for potable water

  • Reduces flow from 2-1/2 in to 1-1/2 in branch for flexible plumbing design
  • Sweat copper connections create permanent leak-free joints on potable water lines
  • Wrot copper construction resists corrosion for long service life
  • Three cup ends simplify installation without threading or flanging
  • Lead-free copper alloy meets potable water safety standards

Reducing Tee for Copper Pipework

This NIBCO 611RR reducing tee connects three copper tubes using sweat joints. The run accepts 2-1/2 inch and 1-1/2 inch nominal sizes while the branch matches the larger run diameter. It is intended for potable water systems in residential or commercial plumbing installations.

Replaces improvised reducer assemblies

Using this single fitting removes the need to combine a straight tee with separate reducer couplings. The jump is worth it when a branch line drops from a 2-1/2 inch main to a 1-1/2 inch supply, cutting joint count and potential leak paths in new work or repairs.

Wrot copper withstands continuous pressure

The wrot copper body handles sustained system pressure and temperature cycles without deformation. Sweat connections create permanent, leak-free joints that maintain integrity under constant flow conditions typical of domestic water distribution networks.

Questions about this item

What tube outer diameters must the 2-1/2 in and 1-1/2 in copper pipes have to fit the 611RR reducing tee?

The tee accepts 2-5/8 in outer diameter on the 2-1/2 in ends and 1-5/8 in on the 1-1/2 in branch.

How is the 611RR sweat tee installed and what step is often missed?

Clean each tube end and the cup interiors, apply flux, insert fully, then heat evenly and feed solder until the joint is completely filled around the circumference.

When should the 611RR wrot copper tee be inspected or replaced in a potable water system?

Inspect for green corrosion, pinhole leaks or joint seepage during routine plumbing checks; replace any fitting showing those signs.
