A.y. Mcdonald 5426-013 Brass Cts Push-on Tee 3/4 in

Product Description

The A.Y. MCDONALD 5426-013 is a 3/4-inch CTS (Copper Tube Size) push-on removable tee fitting constructed from brass. It is designed for use in water distribution and plumbing piping systems where a reliable, tool-free branch connection is required. The push-on design allows for fast, secure connections without soldering, compression rings, or specialty tooling. The removable feature means the fitting can be disconnected and repositioned during installation or service, reducing waste and rework time. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial water systems are the primary installers of this fitting.

This tee fitting is suited for residential and commercial plumbing applications where CTS-compatible pipe is used. It is commonly installed in potable water supply lines, manifold branch connections, and retrofit or repair scenarios where torch work is not practical or permitted. The push-on, removable design makes it especially useful in tight spaces or staged-installation situations where final connections may need to be adjusted before the system is pressure-tested and commissioned.

Key Features

• Push-on connection type eliminates soldering and compression fittings for faster installation
• Removable design allows disconnection and repositioning without damaging the fitting or pipe
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water service applications
• 3/4-inch CTS sizing fits standard copper tube and CTS-compatible pipe materials
• Tee configuration creates a branch connection from a single inline fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard service fitting for 3/4-inch CTS push-on plumbing systems in residential and light commercial water distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and depressurize and drain the line before making or removing any connections. Ensure pipe ends are cut cleanly and deburred before insertion to achieve a proper seal. Do not exceed the fitting pressure and temperature ratings listed by the manufacturer for the intended service conditions.
