Nibco, Inc.

Nibco, Inc. 611RR Reducing Tee 21/2X2X2

SKU CH-XZ3V-RAXT5

A copper reducing tee connecting 2-1/2 inch to two 2-inch lines for potable water systems

  • Reduces pipe size for flexible plumbing layouts with 2-1/2" to 2" copper connections
  • Wrot copper construction resists corrosion for long-lasting potable water installations
  • Sweat cup connections on all three ends enable secure soldered joints
  • Reducing tee shape directs flow between different diameter pipes efficiently
  • Lead-free copper alloy meets potable water safety standards for drinking systems

Reducing Tee for Copper Pipework

This NIBCO 611RR reducing tee connects three copper tubes using sweat fittings. Side A accepts a 2 1/2 inch nominal tube while sides B and C each take a 2 inch nominal tube. The wrot copper body is intended for potable water installations.

Suited to branch connections reducing from larger

Installers joining a 2 1/2 inch main to two 2 inch branches will find the correct step-down here. The fitting is not for systems that require threaded, press or push-fit connections, nor for applications outside potable water use.

Sweat installation requires soldering skill

Each cup end is cleaned, fluxed and heated until solder flows into the joint. Common issues include insufficient heat on the larger Side A cup, excess solder blocking flow, or residual moisture preventing a sound seal.

Questions about this item

What copper tube sizes must I already have to connect the 2-1/2 in, 2 in, and 2 in ends of this reducing tee?

You need copper tubing with 2-1/2 in, 2 in, and 2 in nominal sizes so the cup ends can be soldered directly onto each tube.

Will the 2-1/8 in outer-diameter cups on the 2 in branches fit over my existing 2 in copper pipe?

Yes, the 2-1/8 in outer diameter matches standard 2 in copper tube, so the cup ends slide over the pipe for a sweat joint.

How can I confirm the joint is sound after soldering the three cup connections?

Pressurise the system with water and inspect each sweat joint for leaks; a dry, sealed joint means the tee is working as intended.
