This fitting connects a 3\/4-inch PEX run to a 1\/2-inch PEX branch while maintaining a 3\/4-inch through-line, making it a practical solution for reducing flow to a single fixture or zone without interrupting the main line. Rated for up to 160 psi and 200 degrees F, it handles domestic hot and cold water distribution with a durable, corrosion-resistant brass construction that meets lead-free compliance requirements. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters specify this fitting for hydronic distribution lines, domestic water supply rough-ins, and manifold branch connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing tee is suited for use with PEX pipe in standard residential water supply systems, including whole-house plumbing, radiant heating distribution, and potable water retrofit projects. Its compact profile  -  2.1 inches in length and 1.35 inches in width  -  allows installation in tight joist bays and wall cavities where space is limited. The fitting works with standard PEX crimp rings or clamp-style tools compatible with 3\/4-inch and 1\/2-inch PEX connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free brass construction meets current potable water compliance standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 160 psi working pressure for reliable performance in pressurized supply systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 200 degrees F for compatibility with hot water and low-temperature hydronic applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing configuration: 3\/4-inch x 1\/2-inch x 3\/4-inch for branch reduction without interrupting the main run\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact dimensions support installation in confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with PEX pipe in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.
