Dakota Sourcing 13302 Copper Tee 3/8 in Od 1/4 in Id

Product Description

The DAKOTA SOURCING 13302 is a copper tee fitting designed for branching fluid or refrigerant lines in plumbing and HVAC applications. With a 3/8-inch outer diameter and 1/4-inch inner diameter, this tee provides a reliable three-way connection point in tubing runs. The all-copper construction offers good corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity, making it suitable for both liquid and vapor service in light commercial and residential systems. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians typically specify copper tees where brazed or soldered branch connections are required.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, refrigeration, and HVAC tubing systems where a branch outlet is needed. The 3/8-inch OD sizing is common in smaller refrigerant circuits and domestic water supply lines. It is appropriate for installations where copper tubing is the specified material and a three-way junction must be made within the line set or supply run.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch outer diameter for direct fit to matching copper tubing
• 1/4-inch inner diameter provides the working flow path through the fitting
• All-copper construction for corrosion resistance and compatibility with common brazing and soldering alloys
• Three-way configuration allows a branch connection without additional fittings
• Suitable for refrigerant, water, and other compatible fluid service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for copper tubing systems requiring a 3/8-inch OD tee connection in plumbing or HVAC line sets.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or certified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or applicable mechanical codes. Shut off and isolate the system and relieve any pressure before cutting into an existing line. Clean and deburr tubing ends before fitting and apply appropriate flux when soldering or brazing. Do not use this fitting beyond the pressure and temperature ratings appropriate for the tubing and service type.
