Low-Lead Bronze Tee for Potable Water

This sweat-fitting tee connects two 1-1/4 inch copper tubes and a 1/2 inch female NPT branch in potable-water systems. The low-lead bronze body meets current lead-free requirements for drinking-water installations. It is intended for plumbers and contractors joining copper tubing with a threaded outlet.

Pressure and Connection Limits

The fitting is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 351 psi in potable-water service. Side A and Side B accept 1-1/4 inch copper tube with a 1-3/8 inch outer diameter using sweat connections, while Side C provides a 1/2 inch FNPT threaded port. No other connection types or pressure ratings apply to this model.

Replaces Standard Bronze Tees in Lead-Free Projects

This tee upgrades older bronze fittings when codes require low-lead materials for drinking water. The jump is warranted on new potable-water rough-ins or retrofit jobs where a threaded 1/2 inch branch is needed alongside 1-1/4 inch copper mains. It does not suit non-potable systems that specify different alloys or connection methods.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 x 1/2 tee or a different size for my copper lines?

Select this tee when both main runs are 1-1/4 in copper tube and the branch requires a 1/2 in female pipe thread connection.

What does the 351 psi rating mean once the tee is installed in a potable water system?

It indicates the maximum continuous operating pressure the low lead bronze body can handle without leaking or deforming.

How do the cup and FNPT connections affect the way I join this tee to copper pipe?

The two cup ends are soldered to 1-1/4 in copper tube while the FNPT end accepts a 1/2 in male threaded pipe or adapter.
