It features three copper (C) sweat connections: a 2-inch run inlet, a 1-1\/2-inch run outlet, and a 1-inch branch outlet. Fabricated from copper, this fitting is soldered in place using standard torch and solder techniques. It is suited for potable water, hydronic heating, and general plumbing distribution piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tee is used where a main supply line must reduce in size while also feeding a smaller branch line. The 2-inch by 1-1\/2-inch by 1-inch configuration suits trunk-and-branch plumbing layouts, hydronic zone distribution, and similar piping arrangements where flow is being stepped down across two directions simultaneously. The all-copper construction is compatible with standard Type L and Type M copper tubing used in typical plumbing installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-way reducing configuration: 2 inches x 1-1\/2 inches x 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll copper (C) sweat connections on all three ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper construction for corrosion resistance and long service life in water systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard soldering and brazing installation methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, single-piece fitting body with no mechanical joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use copper sweat reducing tee compatible with Type L and Type M copper tubing in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber using a torch, flux, and lead-free solder in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC and local amendments. Shut off and drain the supply line completely before cutting in the fitting. Clean all pipe ends and fitting sockets with emery cloth or a pipe brush, apply flux evenly, and solder all joints fully. Do not apply heat to a fitting that is not properly supported or to one that still contains water pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1 (Run Inlet)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: C (Copper Sweat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2 (Run Outlet)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: C (Copper Sweat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 3 (Branch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 3\u003c\/strong\u003e: C (Copper Sweat)\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: 1 pound\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: 77553\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67950446936370,"sku":"77553","price":70.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0ceadde3882f46bfd1221304a46ff753_4a4ef673-02cc-49d8-a093-7a623a9c8ad9.jpg?v=1791718064","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-77553-copper-sweat-reducing-tee","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
