Questions about this item

Should I choose the 712R-LF reducing tee or a straight tee for my 2-inch copper line with a 3/4-inch branch?

Choose the 712R-LF reducing tee when you need to drop from a 2-inch copper main to a 3/4-inch threaded branch; a straight tee keeps all three outlets at the same size.

What does the 291 psi rating mean once the tee is installed in a potable water system?

The 291 psi maximum operating pressure is the highest sustained pressure the cast bronze body can safely handle at temperatures up to 200 degrees F in potable water service.

How do the cup and FNPT connections limit the pipe types I can join with this tee?

The two cup ends accept 2-inch copper tube (2 1/8-inch OD) for sweat soldering, while the FNPT end takes 3/4-inch male pipe threads, so you join copper main lines to a threaded branch or valve.
