Elkhart Products TEE-1X1X12 Copper Reducing Tee

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS TEE-1X1X12 is a copper reducing tee fitting sized 1 inch by 1 inch by 1/2 inch, supplied cleaned and bagged for immediate use in potable water and hydronic piping systems. The two run ports measure 1 inch and the branch outlet measures 1/2 inch, making this fitting suited for reducing branch connections in copper tube systems assembled with standard sweat-solder or press-fit methods. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in residential and light commercial applications where a smaller branch takeoff is required from a main 1-inch line.

This copper tee is appropriate for residential plumbing supply lines, radiant heating distribution manifolds, and light commercial water distribution systems where a 1-inch main run feeds a 1/2-inch branch outlet. The cleaned and bagged packaging keeps flux contamination and oxidation off the joint surfaces prior to soldering, reducing prep time on the job site. It is compatible with standard Type L and Type M copper tubing joined by sweat soldering per applicable plumbing codes.

Key Features

• Reducing tee configuration: 1 inch run x 1 inch run x 1/2 inch branch outlet
• Cleaned and bagged packaging preserves joint surfaces and reduces pre-solder prep time
• Copper construction provides corrosion resistance in potable water and hydronic applications
• Sized for standard copper tube systems assembled via sweat-solder connection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for standard 1-inch by 1/2-inch reducing branch connections in residential and light commercial copper tube plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local authority having jurisdiction requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize and drain the line before cutting and fitting. Clean all tube ends and fitting cups with approved flux before soldering, and follow lead-free solder requirements for potable water systems. Allow the joint to cool completely before restoring flow or pressure-testing the assembly.
