It features three sweat (C-type) connections: two run ends sized at 2-1\/2 inches and one branch outlet sized at 3\/4 inch. The reduced branch outlet makes this fitting well suited for applications where a smaller branch line taps off a larger main line. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting using standard soldering techniques. The all-copper construction provides corrosion resistance and long service life in both hot and cold water applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tee fitting is used in residential and commercial plumbing systems where a 2-1\/2 inch main copper line requires a 3\/4 inch branch takeoff. Typical installations include domestic water distribution, hydronic heating distribution mains, and mechanical room piping. The sweat connection type requires proper flux application, heat, and solder to achieve a watertight joint. It is appropriate for above-ground and in-wall installations where copper sweat fittings are specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing branch configuration: 2-1\/2 inch run x 2-1\/2 inch run x 3\/4 inch branch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll three connections are sweat (C-type) for soldered joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull copper construction for corrosion resistance in water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact fitting weight of 1.29 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimum order quantity of 1 unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style sweat fitting for use in standard copper piping systems where 2-1\/2 inch nominal copper tube is joined with a 3\/4 inch nominal copper branch line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off and drain the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Clean all pipe ends and fitting cups thoroughly, apply water-soluble flux, and heat evenly before introducing lead-free solder. Avoid overheating the fitting, as excessive heat can damage the fitting cup geometry and compromise joint integrity.\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: 2-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: C (Sweat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2 (Run)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: C (Sweat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 3 (Branch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 3\u003c\/strong\u003e: C (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: 1.29 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: 77568\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67952135307570,"sku":"77568","price":110.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fca242fac93d12f070c3e46c8de950b9_44b16ffb-dac4-474b-a0c6-1870e82fd1a9.jpg?v=1791747827","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-77568-copper-sweat-tee-2-5x2-5x0-75in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
