Description
Domestic Wrot Copper x Fitting x Copper Tee
Domestic wrot copper x fitting x copper tees provide a compact 90-degree branch connection using two female copper sweat sockets on the run and one male fitting end at the middle branch. The run connections accept properly sized copper tube, while the fitting-end branch inserts directly into a compatible female copper fitting socket.
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 x Fitting x Copper Tee Works
The two inline female copper sweat sockets connect the straight copper-tube run. The middle male fitting end creates a 90-degree branch by inserting directly into a compatible female copper fitting socket. After all joining surfaces are cleaned and prepared, the three connections are assembled with approved flux and soldered or brazed.
Copper x Fitting x Copper Tee vs. Standard Copper Tee
Copper x Fitting x Copper Tee
- Uses female copper sweat sockets on the run
- Uses a male fitting end at the middle branch
- Connects directly into a compatible female copper fitting
- Helps reduce the need for a short copper-tube nipple at the branch
Standard Copper x Copper x Copper Tee
- Uses female copper sweat sockets on all three connections
- Fits over copper tube at the run and branch
- Creates a conventional three-tube connection
- Requires copper tube insertion at the middle branch
Common Applications
Plumbing and Mechanical Systems
- Potable-water piping
- Residential plumbing systems
- Commercial plumbing installations
- Mechanical-room piping
- Heating-system piping
- Compact branch assemblies
HVAC and Equipment Connections
- Air-conditioning piping
- Refrigeration systems

Installation Guidance
- Confirm the required nominal copper tube and fitting size before installation.
- Clean and prepare both copper tube ends, the two female run sockets, the male fitting end, and the receiving female fitting socket.
- Use approved flux, solder, brazing alloy, and joining procedures for the application.
- Insert both copper tubes fully into the run sockets.
- Insert the male fitting-end branch fully into the receiving fitting socket.
- Align the run and branch piping correctly before heating the joints.
- Protect nearby valves, seals, insulation, and equipment from excessive heat.
- Support connected piping and fittings to avoid mechanical strain on the tee.
- Pressure-test and inspect completed joints before placing the system into service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a copper x fitting x copper tee used for?
It creates a 90-degree branch connection with copper-tube run connections and a male fitting-end middle branch.
Which connection is the fitting end?
The middle 90-degree branch is the male fitting end. The two opposing run connections are female copper sweat sockets.
Do the run sockets fit over copper tube?
Yes. Both female run sockets fit over properly sized copper tube.
Where does the fitting end connect?
The male fitting end inserts directly into a compatible female copper fitting socket.
Are all three connections the same nominal size?
Yes. Each listed variation uses the same nominal size for both run sockets and the fitting-end branch.
How is this different from a standard copper tee?
A standard copper tee has female sweat sockets on all three connections. This tee has a male fitting end at the middle branch.
How is the tee installed?
The joining surfaces are cleaned, prepared with approved flux, assembled, and soldered or brazed according to accepted procedures and applicable codes.
Is this a domestic copper fitting?
Yes. This product is listed as a domestic wrot copper pressure fitting.
Who manufactures this tee?
This product is manufactured by Cello Products.
Can it be used in potable-water systems?
It may be used in compatible potable-water systems when installed according to applicable codes, standards, manufacturer requirements, and approved joining procedures.
Can it be used for refrigeration or HVAC piping?
It may be used in compatible HVAC and refrigeration systems when the material, size, joining procedure, pressure, temperature, and system requirements are appropriate.
Does this fitting eliminate a short tube nipple at the branch?
In many fitting-to-fitting assemblies, the male fitting-end branch can connect directly into a female copper fitting socket without a short copper-tube nipple.
