Rwc UC363LFA Brass Barb Reducing Pex Tee 1/2x1/2x3/8

Product Description

The RWC UC363LFA is a brass barb reducing PEX tee fitting designed for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It provides a 1/2-inch by 1/2-inch by 3/8-inch reducing configuration, allowing installers to transition between pipe sizes at a tee junction without additional adapters. The fitting is manufactured from brass and is rated for potable water distribution and hydronic heating applications. Certified to ASTM F1807, NSF/ANSI 61, and NSF 372, it meets standard requirements for lead-free drinking water system components. Plumbers and pipefitters working with PEX tubing systems will find this fitting compatible with both stainless steel clamp ring and copper crimp ring installation methods.

This tee is suited for residential potable water distribution lines and hydronic radiant heating systems where a pipe-size reduction is needed at a branch point. It is intended for use with PEX tubing and works within either a stainless steel clamp system or a copper crimp ring system. Clamp and crimp tools and rings are sold separately. The reducing configuration makes it practical for branching a smaller 3/8-inch line off a 1/2-inch main run, a common layout in residential fixture supply and manifold-style distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into existing pipe. Use the appropriate clamp or crimp tool rated for the ring system being used; do not mix clamp and crimp components on the same connection. Verify ring seating and tool calibration before pressurizing the system.
