Cello Products BPT-40-32-24 Reducing Copper Press Tee

Product Description

The CELLO PRODUCTS BPT-40-32-24 is a wrot copper reducing tee fitting designed for press-connect plumbing systems. It features a three-outlet configuration with nominal sizes of 2-1/2 inches, 2 inches, and 1-1/2 inches, all joined via press connections — no soldering required at the joint. Manufactured from wrot copper and certified lead-free, this fitting meets CUPC, PS 117-2016, ISO 9002, and IAPMO standards. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors use this fitting where a main run must branch to a smaller line within a press-fit piping system.

This reducing tee is suited for commercial and residential plumbing installations where copper press systems are specified. It is commonly installed in supply piping, hydronic heating distribution, and mechanical room header assemblies where reducing a branch line is required. Press fittings are favored in applications where open flame is restricted or where installation speed is a priority. The wrot copper construction delivers consistent wall thickness and reliable joint performance across all three connections.

Key Features

• Wrot copper construction provides uniform wall thickness and consistent press-joint integrity
• Three-way press connection eliminates torch and solder, reducing installation time
• Reducing configuration: 2-1/2 inches run x 2 inches run x 1-1/2 inches branch
• Lead-free material complies with safe drinking water requirements
• Certified to CUPC, PS 117-2016, ISO 9002, and IAPMO standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wrot copper press fitting for use in copper press-fit piping systems requiring a reducing tee configuration at nominal sizes of 2-1/2 inches by 2 inches by 1-1/2 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into existing piping. Use a manufacturer-approved press tool and jaw set sized for each connection diameter — do not mix jaw sizes across the three ports. Verify pipe ends are clean, deburred, and fully inserted to the depth mark before pressing.
