It joins two 3\/4-inch run connections to a 1\/2-inch branch outlet using a sweat (CxCxC) end connection on all three ports. Wrot copper fittings are manufactured from wrought copper, which produces a denser, stronger fitting body than cast alternatives. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in potable water distribution, hydronic heating, and general copper piping applications. Its compact form and standard sweat connection make it a reliable, code-compliant choice for reducing branch takeoffs in both new construction and retrofit work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a 3\/4-inch main line requires a 1\/2-inch branch connection. Typical applications include domestic hot and cold water supply lines, hydronic baseboard heating loops, and in-wall or under-slab copper distribution systems. The sweat connection style is compatible with standard copper tubing and requires soldering with appropriate flux and lead-free solder per applicable plumbing codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWrot copper construction for a dense, strong fitting body suitable for pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 x 3\/4 x 1\/2 inch reducing configuration allows main-line branch reduction in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCxCxC sweat end connections on all three ports for standard soldered copper joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with lead-free solder systems for potable water compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact profile fits tight plumbing spaces and wall cavities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for standard copper pressure tubing systems using 3\/4-inch and 1\/2-inch nominal sweat connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code (IPC) or local equivalent. Shut off and drain the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Clean all tube ends and fitting sockets with emery cloth and apply lead-free flux before soldering. Do not apply heat directly to the fitting socket interior, and allow the joint to cool fully before restoring pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wrot Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: CxCxC (Sweat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRun Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 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: MUELLER INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BD-15883\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MUELLER INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540593148210,"sku":"BD-15883","price":66.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/070727a172506fd99d47676b0541f243.jpg?v=1785859438","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/mueller-industries-bd-15883-wrot-copper-reducing-tee","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
