Copper straight tee for HVAC and refrigeration piping. C12200 wrot copper, ASME B16.22 compliant. C x C sweat-end design for secure brazed joints. Sizes 1/4″ to 4-1/8″ OD. Equal and reducing configurations. Max pressure 700 psi. Leak-proof, corrosion resistant.
Our Copper Straight Tee is a precision-engineered wrot copper fitting designed to connect three lengths of copper tubing at a 90-degree branch angle in air conditioning, refrigeration, and heat pump systems. Manufactured from high-purity C12200 phosphorus-deoxidized copper, it provides a secure, leak-proof junction that withstands the pressure and thermal cycling demands of ACR applications.
The tee features a sweat-end (solder cup) design with precision-machined C x C x C connections, ensuring a consistent capillary gap for reliable brazing with Sil-Fos or comparable alloys. The seamless, one-piece wrot construction eliminates weld seams, reducing potential leak points in high-pressure refrigerant circuits. Available in equal (straight) and reducing configurations to accommodate different branch line sizes.
