Elkhart Products W40147ECB Copper Tee 3x3x1 in

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS W40147ECB is a copper reducing tee supplied cleaned and bagged for immediate use in potable water, hydronic heating, and general plumbing distribution systems. This 111R-pattern fitting connects a 3-inch main run to a 3-inch outlet with a 1-inch branch takeoff, making it suited for applications where a smaller branch line is tapped off a full-size main. The cleaned and bagged packaging protects interior surfaces from oxidation and contamination prior to soldering, which is a common requirement on sanitary and potable water installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters handle this fitting on both residential and light commercial projects.

This tee is used in copper piping systems where a reduced branch connection is needed along a 3-inch main line. Typical install scenarios include domestic hot and cold water distribution, recirculation loops, and hydronic radiant or baseboard heating headers. The 111R designation identifies the reducing configuration: run x run x branch, measuring 3 inches by 3 inches by 1 inch respectively. The cleaned and bagged condition keeps the fitting ready for flux application and sweat soldering without additional prep steps on the job site.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and drain the water supply completely before cutting into an existing line.
