  • Reducing tee connects 1 1/2" copper tube to 3/4" FNPT branch
  • Cast bronze body withstands 327 psi maximum operating pressure
  • Sweat cup ends on both run ports for secure solder joints
  • Lead-free bronze construction approved for potable water systems
  • Model 712R-LF provides durable corrosion-resistant performance

Reducing Tee for Potable Water

This NIBCO 712R-LF fitting joins two 1 1/2 inch copper tubes with a 3/4 inch FNPT branch. Cast bronze construction handles potable water systems at up to 327 psi. Sweat connections on the run ends require soldering to the tube outer diameter of 1 5/8 inch. The reducing tee shape allows a smaller take-off from the main line.

Sweat and Threaded Ends Ready to Install

Each run end is a cup fitting that slides over 1 1/2 inch copper tube for a soldered joint. The branch end provides a 3/4 inch FNPT thread for a threaded adapter or valve. No additional couplings or bushings are needed to make the transition. The bronze body resists corrosion in potable water applications.

327 psi Maximum Operating Pressure

The fitting is rated for 327 psi in potable water service. Systems exceeding this pressure require a different component. The cast bronze material and sweat-to-thread configuration suit residential and commercial plumbing where a reducing branch is needed.

Questions about this item

Will the bronze casting or the sweat joints on this reducing tee need replacement under normal potable-water service?

Cast bronze resists corrosion in potable water, so the body itself does not wear out; only the soldered cup joints might need re-sweating if a leak ever develops.

What pressure limit will the 712R-LF hit first during continuous operation?

The fitting is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 327 psi, so sustained pressure above that level is the first limit you would reach.

Does the 1 1/2 inch sweat tee generate noise, heat or draw power when water runs all day?

It is a passive bronze fitting with no moving parts, so it produces no noise, no heat and consumes no power regardless of flow duration.
