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

SKU CH-0EBN-VT9Y0

Connects 2 in, 1-1/2 in, and 1 in copper tubes in a potable-water sweat fitting tee

  • Reducing tee joins three copper pipe sizes
  • Wrot copper construction resists corrosion in potable water
  • Sweat cup connections create permanent leak-free joints
  • Each outlet sized for 2 in, 1-1/2 in, 1 in tubing
  • Lead-free alloy meets safe drinking water standards

Copper Reducing Tee for Potable Water Systems

This NIBCO 611RR reducing tee joins three copper tubes of different diameters in a sweat fitting configuration. It is designed for potable water installations where a 2 inch, a 1 1/2 inch and a 1 inch line must meet at a single junction. Professional plumbers and DIY installers use it to create branch connections in residential or commercial supply networks.

Wrot Copper Construction with Cup Connections

Each outlet uses a cup style sweat connection that accepts the corresponding tube outer diameter for a secure soldered joint. The wrot copper material provides corrosion resistance suitable for potable water service. No mechanical fasteners or threading are required, simplifying assembly with standard plumbing tools and flux.

Replaces Improvised Reducer Combinations

This single fitting replaces the need to assemble multiple couplings and bushings to achieve the same size transition. The jump is worth it when a clean, compact branch is required and inspection access is limited. It is not suited for systems that demand press fit or threaded connections instead of sweat joints.

Questions about this item

How do I sweat the 2 in, 1-1/2 in and 1 in copper ends of the 611RR reducing tee, and which joint usually fails first?

Clean each tube end and the cup interiors with emery cloth, apply flux, insert tubes fully into the 2 1/8 in, 1 5/8 in and 1 1/8 in cups, then heat each joint evenly until solder flows. The 2 in connection carries the most thermal mass, so it is the one most often under-heated.

What maintenance or replacement will the wrot copper reducing tee need over time?

The fitting itself is a single-piece wrot copper component with no moving parts, so it requires no scheduled maintenance. Inspect joints periodically for green corrosion or drips; only a leaking joint would require cutting out and re-sweating that connection.

What pressure or temperature limit will I hit first when running hot potable water continuously through this tee?

Wrot copper fittings are rated for the same pressure and temperature limits as the copper tube they join, so the system limit is set by the tube wall thickness and the solder alloy used, not by the tee itself.
