Merit Brass MB14390 Press Tee 1-1/4 X 1-1/4 X 1 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS MB14390 is a reducing press tee designed for use in press-fit piping systems. It connects two 1-1/4 inch run ports to a 1 inch branch port without open flame or solder, making it a reliable choice for copper or compatible press-system pipework. Weighing 1.47 pounds, this tee is built for professional installation in water distribution, hydronic heating, and similar fluid-handling systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of new construction or retrofit work where press connections are specified.

This press tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic applications. The 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 x 1 inch configuration handles a reducing branch connection off a main run, making it useful in distribution manifolds, boiler loop piping, and domestic water systems. It is installed wherever a flameless press-fit method is required or preferred over soldered joints.
