Mueller Streamline 10033044 Solder Reducing Tee Copper

Product Description

The MUELLER STREAMLINE 10033044 is a copper solder reducing tee designed for sweat-connection copper piping systems. It features two 2-1/2 inch run connections and one 1/2 inch branch outlet, all in a C x C x C (copper solder cup) end configuration. This fitting is domestically produced and is used to reduce branch flow off a main line without requiring additional adapters. Licensed plumbers install this fitting during new construction, remodel, or repair work where a branch takeoff at a reduced size is needed on a 2-1/2 inch copper main.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations involving copper water supply lines. Its all-solder connection style makes it appropriate for systems where fully sweated joints are required or preferred. It fits into standard 2-1/2 inch copper pipe runs and accommodates a 1/2 inch branch line, making it a practical choice when stepping down to a fixture supply or secondary distribution line off a larger main.

Key Features

• Run size of 2-1/2 inches on both ends with a 1/2 inch reducing branch outlet
• C x C x C end connections — all three ports are copper solder cup style
• Solid copper construction for corrosion resistance and long service life
• Domestically produced fitting
• No adapters required — direct sweat installation onto copper pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for copper sweat piping systems using 2-1/2 inch main runs with 1/2 inch branch connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber using standard copper soldering tools including a torch, flux, and lead-free solder per applicable plumbing codes. Shut off and drain the water supply completely before cutting into any existing line. Clean and flux all mating pipe ends and fitting cups thoroughly before applying heat. Applicable codes include the IPC and local plumbing ordinances governing potable water systems.
