Macomb Group Approved 94052 Bronze Pex Press Reducing Tee

Product Description

The MACOMB GROUP APPROVED 94052 is a bronze PEX press reducing tee with an attached sleeve, designed for use in PEX piping systems where a run reduction is needed at a branch connection. Built to Model 2818ZL specifications, this fitting connects a 1-inch run to 3/4-inch run and 3/4-inch outlet using a press-style connection method, eliminating the need for open flame or soldering. The bronze construction and NSF 61 Annex G compliance make it suitable for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting in residential and light commercial water distribution systems.

This reducing tee is used in PEX press piping installations where flow must be divided or redirected while reducing pipe size along the run. The press connection style allows for fast, tool-based assembly without heat, making it a common choice in tight spaces or where torch work is restricted. Center-to-end run dimensions measure 1.4 inches by 1.26 inches, and the center-to-end outlet measures 1.34 inches, allowing installers to plan rough-in layouts accurately.

Key Features

• Bronze construction provides corrosion resistance in potable water service
• Press connection with attached sleeve eliminates soldering or threading
• Nominal size: 1 x 3/4 x 3/4 inches for run reduction with branch outlet
• Meets NSF 61 Annex G standards for contact with potable water
• Compact center-to-end dimensions support tight rough-in planning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for PEX press piping systems with 1-inch and 3/4-inch nominal pipe sizes in potable water applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing line. A compatible PEX press tool with the correct jaw set for each nominal size is required to properly seat the fitting and compress the attached sleeve. Inspect the pressed joint visually after crimping to confirm full sleeve engagement before restoring pressure.
