Rls 3091222222111 Copper Press Tee 1-3/8 Inches

Product Description

The RLS 3091222222111 is a braze-free refrigerant copper press tee designed for joining copper refrigerant piping without a torch. The one-piece press fitting creates a secure, leak-proof connection using a pressing tool, eliminating open-flame brazing from the installation process. Sized at 1-3/8 inches, it accepts a 1.5-inch insertion depth and is rated for service from -40 degrees F to 300 degrees F. Refrigeration technicians and HVAC mechanics report 40%-60% reductions in time and labor compared to brazed connections. This fitting is appropriate for any technician qualified to work on refrigerant systems.

The 3091222222111 press tee is suited for a wide range of refrigerant piping applications across residential and commercial HVAC-R systems. Typical installations include split-system air conditioning, heat pumps, VRF and VRV systems, chillers, refrigeration cases, walk-in coolers, and walk-in freezers. It is also used in transportation refrigeration applications. The braze-free design is especially practical in occupied buildings or confined spaces where open-flame work is restricted or undesirable.

Key Features

• Braze-free press connection eliminates torch work and open-flame hazards
• 1-3/8-inch copper press tee with 1.5-inch insertion depth
• Rated from -40 degrees F to 300 degrees F for broad service range
• One-piece copper construction for consistent, repeatable connections

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1-3/8-inch copper refrigerant piping in residential and commercial systems including heat pumps, air conditioning, chillers, VRF, VRV, refrigeration cases, walk-in coolers, walk-in freezers, and transportation refrigeration applications.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC-R technician using a compatible refrigerant-rated press tool and the correct jaw set for the 1-3/8-inch fitting size. Recover and isolate refrigerant from the system before cutting into any live refrigerant line. Verify that the pipe end is cut square, deburred, and fully inserted to the required depth before pressing. Follow all applicable EPA Section 608 refrigerant handling regulations and local mechanical codes during installation.
