It provides a three-port connection that transitions between 1-inch and 3\/4-inch PEX lines, making it a practical choice wherever a branch reduction is needed in a potable water or hydronic distribution system. All three ports accept cold expansion PEX connections, which require an expansion tool and PEX ring rather than compression or crimp methods. Lead-free brass construction meets safe drinking water requirements. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in new construction and retrofit applications where flow distribution or pipe sizing changes are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing union tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems using cold expansion PEX pipe. Typical installations include main trunk-to-branch transitions in hot and cold water distribution systems, radiant heating manifold branch runs, and plumbing rough-in work where a reducing tee is needed to step down from a 1-inch main to a 3\/4-inch branch while continuing the 1-inch run. It is appropriate for any application where lead-free fittings are required by local plumbing code.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free brass construction complies with safe drinking water regulations for potable water systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold expansion PEX connections on all three ports for a secure, reliable joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReducing tee configuration: 1 inch x 3\/4 inch x 1 inch to accommodate trunk-and-branch layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact profile at 3.6 inches length and 2.45 inches width for use in tight framing cavities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-unit minimum order quantity supports both service work and new construction purchasing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for cold expansion PEX plumbing systems requiring a 1-inch x 3\/4-inch x 1-inch reducing union tee configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making any connections. Cold expansion PEX fittings require a compatible expansion tool and appropriately sized PEX expansion rings  -  do not attempt to use this fitting with crimp or clamp-style PEX tools. Verify that all expansion rings are fully seated and that joints have recovered before pressurizing the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cold Expansion PEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cold Expansion PEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 3\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 3\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cold Expansion PEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead Free Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.35 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.45 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.405 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35054CE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67949347078450,"sku":"35054CE","price":20.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b2754f1010dcc583917eae6c866dca33_cd3eff2f-a7c6-469c-a5e7-3ba070991aab.jpg?v=1791689724","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-35054ce-reducing-union-tee-pex","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
