Nibco px80740a F1807 Pex Reducing Tee 3/4x1/2x3/4 in

Product Description

The NIBCO px80740a is a lead-free PEX reducing tee fitting manufactured to ASTM F1807 standards. It connects PEX tubing runs in a three-way configuration with port dimensions of 3/4 inch by 1/2 inch by 3/4 inch, making it well suited for branch-line reductions in domestic water distribution systems. The lead-free construction meets Safe Drinking Water Act compliance requirements for potable water service. Licensed plumbers install this fitting in new construction and retrofit PEX plumbing systems where a run-size reduction is needed at a branch takeoff.

This reducing tee is designed for use in residential and light commercial PEX plumbing systems where the main run stays at 3/4 inch and a 1/2 inch branch serves an individual fixture or appliance. It is appropriate for both hot and cold potable water lines within F1807-compliant PEX installations. The fitting integrates into standard crimp-ring or clamp-ring tool systems used across the plumbing trade.

Key Features

• Lead-free construction meets Safe Drinking Water Act requirements for potable water applications
• Manufactured to ASTM F1807 standards for PEX metal insert fittings
• Reducing configuration: 3/4 inch run by 1/2 inch branch by 3/4 inch run
• Compatible with standard PEX crimp rings and clamp rings used in F1807 systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for ASTM F1807 PEX plumbing systems accepting 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch PEX tubing connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber using a calibrated PEX crimp or clamp tool sized for each port diameter. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into any existing PEX run. Verify ring seating and tool jaw positioning before crimping to ensure a leak-free joint. All potable water installations should comply with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements.
