Cello Products BPT-32-08-32 Reducing Copper Press Tee

Product Description

The CELLO PRODUCTS BPT-32-08-32 is a wrot copper reducing tee fitting designed for press-connect plumbing systems. It measures 2 inches by 2 inches by 1/2 inch, with press connections on all three outlets. Wrot copper construction means the fitting is formed from wrought copper stock, producing a dense grain structure that is well suited to high-integrity pressure joints. This fitting is lead-free and manufactured to meet CUPC, PS 117-2016, ISO 9002, and IAPMO standards, making it appropriate for potable water service. Licensed plumbers working on commercial and residential piping systems are the primary installers.

This reducing tee is used wherever a 2-inch copper press main line requires a 1/2-inch branch takeoff. Typical applications include domestic hot and cold water distribution, in-wall rough-in plumbing, and mechanical room piping. The press-fit end connection eliminates open-flame soldering at the joint, making it practical in occupied buildings or in areas where torch use is restricted by code or site conditions. It is compatible with standard press-fit tooling and jaw sets sized for 2-inch and 1/2-inch copper press fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the supply line and verify the pipe ends are fully dry, deburred, and clean before pressing. Use a calibrated press tool with the correct jaw profile for each connection size. Do not use this fitting with an open-flame torch; the press joint design does not require soldering.
