It connects two run ports at 1-1\/2 inches and one branch port at 1-1\/4 inches, all via sweat (C) connections. This fitting is manufactured from copper and is used to split or combine flow in plumbing and HVAC hydronic lines where a branch line steps down in diameter from the main run. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers. The fitting weighs 0.72 pounds and is suited for both residential and light commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tee fits into copper piping systems where a 1-1\/4-inch branch must be teed off a 1-1\/2-inch main line. Common applications include domestic water distribution, hydronic heating loops, and general plumbing rough-in work. It is used wherever a reducing branch takeoff is needed without adding an additional reducer fitting, keeping the system compact and minimizing joint count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing configuration: 1-1\/2 inches x 1-1\/2 inches x 1-1\/4 inches for direct branch step-down\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll three ports use sweat (C) connections for soldered joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCopper construction for corrosion resistance and reliable solderability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact single-fitting solution replaces a straight tee plus a separate reducer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.72 pounds for easy handling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for copper sweat piping systems using 1-1\/2-inch and 1-1\/4-inch nominal tube sizes per standard copper fitting dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber following applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off water supply and depressurize and drain the line completely before cutting into existing pipe. Clean all mating surfaces with emery cloth and apply flux before soldering to ensure full, void-free joints. Avoid overheating the fitting during soldering, as excessive heat can cause warping or flux burnout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1 (Run)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sweat (C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2 (Run)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sweat (C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 3 (Branch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 3\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sweat (C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.72 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 77521\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67949739737394,"sku":"77521","price":38.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/45b56d0bf247d61dbb73aa0e1da1d1c0_ce0d67b1-7102-4f47-aae2-f1cfd1dcff46.jpg?v=1791699780","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-77521-copper-sweat-reducing-tee","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
