Mueller Streamline COTRED11412114 Copper Reducing Tee

Product Description

The MUELLER STREAMLINE COTRED11412114 is a copper reducing tee designed for branch connections in residential and commercial plumbing systems. This fitting joins a 1.25-inch run on both ends while reducing to a 0.5-inch branch outlet, making it a practical choice when a smaller-diameter line must tap off a larger main line. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, renovation, and repair work on domestic water supply and hydronic heating lines. The all-copper construction provides reliable corrosion resistance and long service life in both hot and cold water applications.

This reducing tee is suited for potable water supply lines, radiant and hydronic systems, and general plumbing distribution work. The 1.25-inch by 0.5-inch by 1.25-inch configuration is a common size in residential water main distribution where branch feeds drop down to fixtures or appliances requiring a half-inch supply connection. It is compatible with standard solder-joint (sweat) copper assembly methods used throughout the industry.

Key Features

• 1.25-inch inlet and outlet run with a 0.5-inch reducing branch for flexible distribution layouts
• Copper construction offers natural corrosion resistance for potable and non-potable water systems
• Sweat-solder joint design compatible with standard copper tubing and fittings practice
• Suitable for both hot and cold water supply applications
• Compact reducing tee eliminates the need for a separate bushing or reducer at the branch

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style copper sweat fitting for use with standard Type L and Type M copper tubing in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off and drain the water supply before cutting into an existing line. Clean all mating tube ends and fitting sockets thoroughly and apply flux before soldering to ensure a leak-free joint. Avoid overheating the fitting during the sweat process, as excessive heat can damage the copper and compromise the joint integrity.
