Ndl Industries W4034 Copper Reducing Tee 7/8x7/8x1/2 Cxcxc

Product Description

The NDL INDUSTRIES W4034 is a copper reducing tee designed for sweat-joint refrigerant and plumbing line installations where a branch connection requires a size transition. The fitting connects two 7/8-inch run ends to a 1/2-inch branch outlet, all using solder cup (C x C x C) connections. It is fabricated from copper, making it compatible with standard torch-soldering techniques used by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians. This fitting is a common component in split-system refrigerant lines, hydronic systems, and domestic copper water distribution where a reducing branch off a main line is needed.

The W4034 suits residential and light commercial applications where copper sweat fittings are specified. Typical installation scenarios include refrigerant suction or liquid line branches, potable water distribution tees, and hydronic radiant or baseboard systems. The 7/8 x 7/8 x 1/2-inch reducing configuration allows the installer to transition branch line diameter without additional adapters. It is sold in a box quantity of 25, making it practical for service vans and multi-job stock.

Key Features

• Reducing tee configuration: 7/8 x 7/8 x 1/2 inches run-to-branch
• C x C x C solder cup connections on all three ports
• Copper construction for reliable torch-soldered joints
• Box quantity of 25 units for stocking efficiency
• Eliminates need for a separate reducer adapter on the branch outlet

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for copper sweat-joint plumbing, HVAC refrigerant line, and hydronic piping systems requiring a 7/8 x 7/8 x 1/2-inch reducing tee connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Shut off and recover or isolate all system pressure before cutting into an existing line. Clean and deburr all pipe ends and apply flux per the solder manufacturer instructions before torch-soldering. Avoid overheating the fitting, as excessive heat can damage the copper and compromise the joint.
