Watts 0959095 Push-to-connect Reducing Tee Adapter

Product Description

The WATTS 0959095 is a push-to-connect reducing tee adapter designed for quick, tool-free tube connections in plumbing and water distribution systems. It accepts 1/2-inch OD on both run ports and 1/4-inch OD on the branch port, making it a practical solution for splitting or reducing a line without soldering or compression fittings. The body is constructed from polyphenylsulfone (PSU), a high-strength thermoplastic rated to 200 psi. EPDM O-rings provide a reliable seal across the connection points. Licensed plumbers and pipe fitters install this fitting in residential and light commercial water supply applications where fast assembly and a leak-tight seal are priorities.

This fitting is suited for potable water supply lines, filtration system plumbing, and reverse osmosis installations where a branch takeoff from a 1/2-inch line down to 1/4-inch tubing is required. The push-to-connect mechanism allows tubing to be inserted and locked without tools, speeding up installation in tight spaces or high-volume service work. Its white PSU body is compatible with CTS-dimensioned tubing.

Key Features

• Polyphenylsulfone (PSU) body rated to 200 psi
• EPDM O-rings for a durable, leak-resistant seal
• CTS thread type for compatibility with standard copper tube size tubing
• Compact form factor suited for installations with limited clearance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect fitting for CTS-dimensioned tubing in residential and light commercial water supply and filtration plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipe fitters. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into an existing run. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely with a tube cutter and that all burrs are removed before inserting into the fitting to avoid O-ring damage. Verify tubing OD matches the port size before seating; mismatched OD will prevent a proper seal.
