Reducing tee for copper piping

This copper reducing tee joins two 2-inch lines with a 1/2-inch branch using press-fit connections on all three ends. It is intended for installers building potable-water systems who need a factory-sealed joint without soldering. The rolled center stop helps position tubing at the correct insertion depth during assembly.

Press-fit system limits

The fitting is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 200 psi in potable-water service. Its EPDM O-rings seal against the tube wall when compressed with a compatible press tool, so the joint quality depends on using the correct jaw set and following the tool manufacturer's calibration schedule. No threading, solder or adhesive is involved.

2-inch by 2-inch by 1/2-inch sizing

The three copper tube sizes — 2 in, 2 in and 1/2 in — are the single specification that determines whether this tee matches the pipe schedule on site. If the branch line requires a different diameter, this part will not fit and an alternative reducing tee must be selected.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 2" x 2" x 1/2" reducing tee or a straight tee?

Choose this reducing tee when the branch line is 1/2" while the run stays 2".

What does the 200 psi rating mean once the tee is installed?

It is the maximum operating pressure the pressed joints are designed to hold in potable water service.

How does the press-fit connection standard limit the tools I can use?

The press-fit ends require a compatible press tool and jaws; they cannot be soldered or threaded.
