Elkhart Products TEE-4X3X3 Wrot Copper Reducing Tee

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS TEE-4X3X3 is a wrot copper reducing tee designed for soldered copper piping systems in commercial and residential plumbing and mechanical applications. Sized at 4 inches on the run with 3-inch by 3-inch branch and outlet connections, this tee accommodates flow transitions between different pipe sizes within the same system. The CxCxC (copper by copper by copper) solder-joint configuration follows standard sweat-fitting practice. Wrot copper construction delivers consistent wall thickness and a clean interior surface suited to high-pressure and high-temperature service. At 5.714 pounds, this is a substantial fitting appropriate for larger-diameter commercial installations.

This reducing tee is used in plumbing distribution mains, hydronic heating piping, and industrial process piping where a 4-inch main must branch into 3-inch runs. Typical applications include commercial mechanical rooms, large residential systems, and industrial facilities requiring full-flow copper branch connections. The solder-joint end type is compatible with standard Type K, Type L, and Type M copper tubing in the corresponding sizes. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers in commercial settings, though qualified tradespeople handle residential installations as well.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes, including the IPC and local amendments. Shut off and depressurize the system completely and allow all pipe sections to cool and dry before soldering. Use lead-free solder and flux rated for potable water service where required by code. Avoid overheating the fitting during the sweat process, as excessive heat can damage the fitting socket and compromise joint integrity.
