Ndl Industries w40324 Copper Reducing Tee 3/8x3/8x1/4 Cxcxc

Product Description

The NDL INDUSTRIES w40324 is a copper reducing tee designed for soldered (sweat) connections in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC refrigerant piping systems. The fitting connects two equal 3/8-inch runs while reducing the branch outlet to 1/4 inch, making it a common choice when tapping a smaller line off a main run. All three connections are copper-to-copper (C x C x C), meaning each end accepts standard copper tubing joined by brazing or soldering. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This reducing tee is suited for domestic water distribution, hydronic heating branch lines, and refrigerant line splits where a 3/8-inch main run requires a 1/4-inch branch takeoff. Its all-copper construction supports use in both potable water and refrigerant applications where code and system design allow. The fitting is sold in a box quantity of 50 units, making it practical for contractors stocking job-site supply.

Key Features

• Reducing tee configuration: 3/8 x 3/8 inch run with 1/4-inch branch outlet
• C x C x C connection type — all three ends accept sweat (solder or braze) joints
• All-copper construction for corrosion resistance and long service life
• Box quantity of 50 units for contractor and job-site use
• Compact reducing geometry eliminates the need for additional bushings or adapters at the branch

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for copper piping systems requiring a reducing tee in a C x C x C sweat configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC or IPC guidelines where relevant. Shut off the water supply or isolate the refrigerant circuit and recover any refrigerant before cutting into the line. Clean and flux all mating surfaces thoroughly before applying heat; overheating copper fittings can damage the joint integrity. Allow the joint to cool fully before restoring pressure to the system.
