It provides a three-port junction with 1\/2-inch PEX connections on two ports and a 3\/4-inch PEX connection on the third, allowing a main 3\/4-inch supply line to branch into two 1\/2-inch runs. Rated to 160 psi and 200 degrees F, this fitting handles the pressure and temperature demands of potable water distribution and hydronic applications. The lead-free brass construction meets drinking water compliance requirements. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing tee is suited for potable hot and cold water distribution in residential new construction and retrofit projects, as well as radiant heating and hydronic systems using PEX tubing. The 3\/4-inch-by-1\/2-inch reducing configuration is a common layout at manifold branch points or where supply trunk lines feed fixture branch lines. It works with standard PEX crimp or clamp installation methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free brass construction meets safe drinking water compliance requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 160 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 200 degrees F maximum operating temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-port reducing design: 1\/2 in PEX x 1\/2 in PEX x 3\/4 in PEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact profile at 2.05 inches length and 0.7 inches height for tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard PEX crimp ring and clamp-style installation tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with PEX pipe.
