It connects one 3-inch run port to two 2-1\/2-inch branch and run ports using standard sweat (solder) connections on all three ends. Weighing 3.03 pounds, this fitting is built for demanding commercial and residential plumbing, HVAC hydronic, and mechanical piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers. The all-copper construction ensures corrosion resistance and compatibility with standard lead-free solder and flux.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tee is suited for use in hot and cold water distribution, hydronic heating, and general mechanical piping systems where a reducing tee configuration is required. The 3-inch by 2-1\/2-inch by 2-1\/2-inch sweat configuration makes it appropriate for larger-diameter main lines that branch into slightly smaller lateral runs. It fits within standard copper sweat fitting assemblies and is compatible with Type K, L, and M copper tube where the outside diameter matches sweat fitting standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-copper construction for corrosion resistance and long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree sweat (solder) connection ends for secure, leak-tight joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReducing configuration: 3-inch main run with 2-1\/2-inch branch and run outlets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with lead-free solder and flux per current plumbing codes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid build at 3.03 pounds for use in high-pressure and high-temperature piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style copper sweat tee for use in standard copper tube piping systems where sweat connections on 3-inch and 2-1\/2-inch copper tube outside diameters are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the water or fluid system completely before cutting or soldering. Clean and flux all tube ends and fitting cups thoroughly before applying heat to ensure a proper solder joint. Avoid overheating the fitting, as excessive heat can damage the copper and compromise joint integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: C (Sweat\/Solder)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: C (Sweat\/Solder)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 3\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 3\u003c\/strong\u003e: C (Sweat\/Solder)\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: 3.03 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: 77538\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67951852749106,"sku":"77538","price":200.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0ceadde3882f46bfd1221304a46ff753_1c90163c-37b6-4206-9023-c30a524e2a0d.jpg?v=1791738577","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-77538-copper-sweat-tee-3x2-5x2-5-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
