Description
Domestic Cleaned & Bagged Wrot Copper Tee – C x C x C
Domestic cleaned and bagged C x C x C wrot copper tees provide a 90-degree branch connection in copper piping systems using three female copper sweat sockets. The equal-size configuration connects the straight run and branch using the same nominal copper tube size.
Select the required nominal copper tube size from the product options above. The selected variation determines the Cello item number, online selling price, shipping weight, cost, and other size-specific product information.

How a Copper Tee Works
The two opposing female copper sweat sockets form the straight piping run, while the middle female socket creates a 90-degree branch. Properly sized copper tube is inserted into all three sockets and joined using the approved soldering or brazing procedure for the piping system.
Equal-Size Tee vs. Reducing Tee
Equal-Size Tee
- Uses the same nominal size on all three connections
- Maintains the same tube size through the run and branch
- Provides a standard 90-degree branch
- Ideal when no size transition is required
Reducing Tee
- Uses different nominal sizes on one or more connections
- Provides a branch while also changing tube size
- Available as a separate product family
- Requires confirmation of run and branch sizes before ordering
Cleaned & Bagged Construction
Each tee is cleaned and enclosed in protective packaging to help preserve the condition of its internal and external joining surfaces during storage, transportation, and handling. Keep the fitting sealed in its original bag until immediately before installation.
Cleaned and bagged copper fittings are commonly specified for piping systems where dirt, oil, grease, moisture, metal particles, and other contaminants must be carefully controlled. Confirm that the fitting, cleaning level, packaging, joining procedure, and installation requirements satisfy the project specifications and applicable codes.
Common Applications
Clean and Controlled Piping
- Medical-gas piping installations
- Laboratory piping systems
- Institutional piping projects
- Clean mechanical piping
- Process piping requiring protected fittings
- Projects specifying cleaned and bagged copper components
Branch Connections
- Commercial plumbing systems
- Heating and cooling piping
- HVAC and refrigeration systems
- Equipment branch connections
- Distribution piping
- Maintenance and retrofit installations
Installation Guidance
- Confirm the required nominal copper tube size before ordering.
- Verify that all three connections are intended to be the same nominal size.
- Keep the fitting sealed until immediately before installation.
- Handle the fitting using clean gloves and approved tools when required.
- Do not use the fitting if the protective package is damaged or the fitting appears contaminated.
- Inspect all three copper sweat sockets and copper tube ends before assembly.
- Cut copper tube square and remove burrs using approved procedures.
- Prepare the copper tube and fitting surfaces using the approved joining method.
- Insert all three copper tubes fully into their corresponding sockets.
- Align the branch at the required 90-degree orientation before joining.
- Use approved solder, brazing alloy, purge gas, flux, and joining procedures.
- Follow applicable medical-gas requirements when installed in medical-gas piping.
- Support connected piping to prevent mechanical strain on the completed joints.
- Pressure-test and inspect the completed system before placing it into service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a C x C x C copper tee?
It is a wrot copper fitting with three female copper sweat sockets that creates a 90-degree branch connection.
Are all three connections the same size?
Yes. This product family consists of equal-size tees with the same nominal size on the run and branch.
Do all three connections fit over copper tube?
Yes. All three female copper sweat sockets fit over properly sized copper tube.
What angle is the branch connection?
The branch connection is positioned at 90 degrees to the straight piping run.
Is this a reducing tee?
No. These tees use the same nominal size on all three connections. Reducing tees are offered separately.
Why is the fitting cleaned and bagged?
The protective packaging helps prevent dirt, oil, grease, moisture, metal particles, and other contaminants from contacting the fitting before installation.
Can this tee be brazed?
Yes, when brazing is appropriate and completed using approved materials, procedures, purge requirements, and applicable codes.
Can this tee be soldered?
It may be soldered when permitted by the application, project specification, and applicable code.
Is this a domestic copper fitting?
Yes. It is listed as a domestic cleaned and bagged wrot copper fitting manufactured by Cello Products.
Can it be used in medical-gas piping?
It may be used when the fitting, cleaning level, packaging, joining procedure, and installation satisfy the project specifications and applicable medical-gas requirements.
Can the fitting be used if the bag is damaged?
Do not assume that a damaged or opened package still satisfies project cleanliness requirements. Follow the applicable contamination-control and rejection procedures.
Does the selected size determine the SKU and price?
Yes. Each nominal size has its own Cello SKU, online selling price, estimated shipping weight, and cost.
