Product Overview

Copper Reducing Tee is a plumbing fitting used to connect three pipes of different sizes in a T-shape configuration, typically in copper piping systems. The primary function of a reducing tee is to allow the transition between pipes of varying diameters, providing a seamless flow of liquids or gases while minimizing leaks and maintaining the system’s integrity.

Applications

  • Residential Plumbing: Used in household plumbing systems to reduce or increase pipe size, typically in areas like water supply lines, faucet connections, or hose bibs.
  • Commercial Plumbing: Copper reducing tees are used in larger-scale plumbing systems to connect pipes of different diameters, ensuring smooth transitions in commercial buildings, hotels, and industrial facilities.
  • HVAC Systems: In heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, copper reducing tees help in joining copper pipes of various sizes for the flow of hot water, refrigerant, or air conditioning gases.
  • Gas Lines: Copper reducing tees are also commonly used in natural gas or propane systems, where the correct pipe size must be maintained for gas flow and pressure regulation.
