Jmf Company 2546024240800 Wrot Copper Reducing Tee

Product Description

The JMF COMPANY 2546024240800 is a wrot copper reducing tee fitting designed for sweat (solder) connections in plumbing and refrigeration piping systems. It features a 1-1/2 inches x 1-1/2 inches x 1/2 inches nominal configuration with female soldered end connections on all three outlets, designated C x C x C. Manufactured from C12200 copper alloy per ASTM B75 and produced through a wrot (wrought) process, this fitting delivers consistent wall thickness and reliable joint integrity under pressure. Licensed plumbers and refrigeration technicians install this type of fitting where a branch takeoff at a reduced diameter is required in a run of copper pipe.

This reducing tee is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial applications including domestic water distribution, hydronic systems, and refrigeration piping. The wrot construction conforms to ASME B16.22 and MSS SP-104 standards, making it appropriate for code-compliant installations across a wide range of system pressures and temperatures. The 5/8 inch refrigeration outer diameter on the branch outlet confirms compatibility with ACR-rated copper tubing on that leg, while the 1-5/8 inch outer diameter run connections align with standard Type L and Type K copper pipe in the 1-1/2 inch nominal size.

Key Features

• Wrot C12200 copper alloy construction per ASTM B75 for consistent material quality
• All three ends are female soldered (C x C x C) for standard sweat connections
• Reduces branch outlet from 1-1/2 inches nominal run to 1/2 inches nominal branch
• Meets ASME B16.22 and MSS SP-104 dimensional and pressure standards
• Suitable for plumbing, refrigeration, residential, commercial, and industrial service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wrot copper reducing tee for use with standard copper tubing and pipe systems requiring a 1-1/2 inches x 1-1/2 inches x 1/2 inches sweat-connection reducing branch fitting in plumbing and refrigeration applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or refrigeration technician following applicable local codes, IPC provisions, and ASME B16.22 requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line and allow all pipe sections to cool completely before cutting or soldering. Clean all mating surfaces with emery cloth and apply appropriate flux before heating with a torch to ensure full solder penetration and a leak-free joint. Do not overheat the fitting, as excessive heat can damage the copper alloy and compromise joint integrity.
