Elkhart Products 1 X 1/2 X Copper Reducing Tee

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS 1 X 1/2 X is a WROT copper reducing tee designed for sweat-solder (C x C x C) connections in pressurized water supply and distribution systems. The run measures 1 inch with dual 1/2-inch outlets, making it a standard branch fitting for stepping down line size within a copper piping circuit. At 0.185 pounds, the fitting is lightweight and easy to handle in tight chase or wall-cavity work. WROT copper construction meets the density and pressure requirements expected in residential and light commercial plumbing applications.

This fitting is used wherever a main copper line needs to supply a smaller branch without additional adapters. Typical applications include domestic hot and cold water distribution, hydronic heating branch lines, and retrofit work where an existing 1-inch main feeds 1/2-inch fixture supply lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters select WROT copper tees for their consistent wall thickness, clean solder uptake, and long service life in both potable and non-potable systems.

Key Features

• WROT copper construction for consistent wall thickness and reliable solder joints
• C x C x C sweat connections compatible with standard copper tubing and 95/5 or lead-free solder
• 1 inch run x 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch branch configuration for line-size reduction without additional adapters
• Lightweight at 0.185 pounds for easy handling in confined spaces
• Suitable for potable water, hydronic, and general plumbing distribution applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for copper sweat piping systems using 1-inch and 1/2-inch nominal copper tubing conforming to ASTM B88 Type L or Type M specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and fully drain the affected piping before cutting and fitting. Clean all mating surfaces with emery cloth or a pipe-cleaning brush and apply lead-free flux before soldering. Do not apply heat to a fitting that still contains water, as trapped moisture will prevent proper solder flow and joint integrity.
