Potable Water Reducing Tee

This NIBCO reducing tee joins a 1-inch copper tube on the run with a half-inch FNPT branch for potable water systems. The cast bronze body resists corrosion in domestic supply lines. It is intended for installers who need a sweat-to-thread transition in a single fitting.

Sustained Pressure Performance

Rated for a maximum operating pressure of 395 psi, the fitting maintains its seal under continuous system load rather than only during brief test spikes. The bronze construction resists stress corrosion cracking over long service periods. It suits installations where pressure cycles are frequent and prolonged.

Thermal and Pressure Limits

The maximum operating temperature is 200 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing use in hot water recirculation loops without derating. Bronze thermal conductivity distributes heat evenly across the joint, reducing localised stress. No external power or active cooling is required for normal operation.

Questions about this item

Does the 395 psi bronze tee add any heat or noise to the plumbing system?

No, the cast bronze tee is a passive fitting with no moving parts, so it generates no heat or noise during continuous water flow.

What pipe and tube must already be on site for the 1 in cup and 1/2 in FNPT connections?

You need 1 in copper tube with 1 1/8 in outside diameter for the cup ends and 1/2 in female NPT threaded pipe for the branch connection.

Will the 200 °F rated tee work with older copper and threaded steel pipe already in the building?

Yes, the 1 in cup ends solder to existing copper tube and the 1/2 in FNPT branch threads onto legacy steel or brass pipe without adapters.
