Description
Aluminum Reducing Branch Tee for PPS Piping Systems
PPS1 TR Aluminum Reducing Branch Tee Fittings create a reduced-size 90-degree branch from a larger PPS aluminum pipe run. The straight-through connections maintain the main pipe diameter while the branch connection transitions to a smaller pipe OD, allowing smaller distribution lines to be taken directly from the main PPS network.
The PPS1 TR series includes multiple main-line and branch-size combinations for compatible PPS piping systems. These aluminum reducing tees are part of the PPS 100% aluminum network and are designed for applications where a smaller branch is required without reducing the main pipe run.

Why Use a Reducing Branch Tee?
Create a Smaller Branch Line
- Creates a 90-degree branch from the main PPS pipe run
- Reduces the pipe diameter at the branch connection
- Keeps the larger pipe size through the main run
- Useful for feeding smaller secondary distribution lines
- Eliminates the need for a separate equal tee and branch reducer
Flexible PPS Distribution
- Multiple main-to-branch size combinations available
- Designed for compatible PPS aluminum pipe
- Part of the PPS 100% aluminum network
- Supports new installations and piping expansions
- Useful when branch demand requires a smaller pipe diameter
Common Applications
Reduced Branch Connections
- Main line to smaller branch line transitions
- Equipment and machine feeds
- Workstation distribution branches
- Secondary piping runs
- Piping network expansions
PPS Distribution Networks
- Compressed air distribution
- Industrial vacuum piping
- Nitrogen distribution
- Manufacturing facilities
- Production areas
- Industrial utility piping
Selecting the Correct Reducing Tee
Select the PPS1 TR fitting according to both the main pipe outside diameter and the reduced branch outside diameter. The first size identifies the main PPS pipe run, while the second size identifies the smaller branch connection.
For example, 1-1/4" x 3/4" identifies a reducing tee for a 1-1/4" main pipe with a 3/4" branch connection. Confirm both pipe sizes before ordering.
Installation Considerations
- Confirm both the main pipe OD and reduced branch OD before ordering.
- Do not select the fitting based on the main pipe size alone.
- Review dimensions A, B, C, and D for the selected configuration.
- Use compatible PPS aluminum pipe and system components.
- Prepare pipe connections according to PPS installation requirements.
- Keep pipe ends and fitting connection surfaces clean before assembly.
- Support both the main run and reduced branch piping appropriately.
- Do not exceed the published maximum operating pressure of 232 PSI.
- Maintain the system within the published -4°F to 176°F operating temperature range.
- Test the completed piping network before placing it into normal operation.
- Installation should be completed by personnel familiar with PPS piping systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PPS1 TR fitting?
PPS1 TR is an aluminum reducing branch tee designed to create a smaller branch connection from a larger PPS pipe run.
What does the size designation mean?
The first size identifies the main pipe outside diameter, while the second size identifies the reduced branch pipe outside diameter.
Does the main pipe reduce through the tee?
No. The main run maintains its pipe size through the tee. The reduction occurs at the branch connection.
What is a reducing branch tee used for?
It is used when a smaller-diameter branch line needs to be connected at 90 degrees to a larger main PPS pipe run.
What is the maximum operating pressure?
The published maximum operating pressure is 232 PSI.
What is the operating temperature range?
The published operating temperature range is -4°F to 176°F.
Is the fitting made from aluminum?
Yes. PPS1 TR is part of the PPS 100% aluminum network.
Can these tees be used in PPS compressed air systems?
They can be incorporated into compatible PPS compressed air piping systems when properly selected and installed for the required operating conditions.
Can these tees be used with PPS vacuum piping?
They can be incorporated into compatible PPS vacuum piping networks when properly selected and installed for the intended system.
Can these tees be used with PPS nitrogen piping?
They can be incorporated into compatible PPS nitrogen piping systems when the complete network is designed for that service.
How do I select the correct reducing tee?
Identify both the main pipe OD and the smaller branch pipe OD, then select the PPS1 TR configuration that matches those two sizes.
Where can I review the manufacturer dimensions?
The PPS1 TR specification sheet is linked in the Ask Willy section directly above.
