Apollo Valves TEE114X12X114 Press Reducing Tee Copper

Product Description

The APOLLO VALVES TEE114X12X114 is an ApolloPress 811R Small Diameter Press Reducing Outlet Tee designed for copper press-fit piping systems. It features a lead-free, dezincification-resistant copper body and an EPDM o-ring seal that enables fast, tool-based press connections without open flame. The reducing configuration measures 1-1/4 x 1/2 x 1-1/4 inches (run x outlet x run) in a CxCxC press end pattern. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of pressurized water or hydronic distribution assemblies where soldering is restricted or impractical.

This tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic heating applications. The press-style ends eliminate torch work, making it appropriate for retrofit and new construction installations in occupied buildings or fire-sensitive environments. The reducing outlet allows a 1/2-inch branch to be taken off a 1-1/4-inch main run without additional fittings. Materials conform to proven ASTM standards for copper pressure fittings.

Key Features

• Lead-free dezincification-resistant copper body meets safe drinking water requirements
• EPDM o-ring provides reliable seal at each press connection point
• Leak Before Press technology allows visual leak detection on unpressed connections during system pressure testing
• Flameless press installation reduces fire risk and eliminates need for torch permits
• Reducing outlet configuration: 1-1/4 inches run x 1/2 inches outlet x 1-1/4 inches run (CxCxC)
• Manufactured to ASTM material and dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fitting compatible with standard copper press-fit piping systems using CxCxC press end connections in the ApolloPress 811R Small Diameter product line.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber using a compatible press tool and jaw set sized for the appropriate connection diameter. Shut off and depressurize the water supply and drain the line before cutting into existing piping. Verify that all three press connections are fully seated and pressed before restoring system pressure. Inspect for unpressed connections by conducting a leak test at working pressure before concealing the fitting.
