Construction Details
SCI Press Fig. SP628R is a copper reducing adapter tee with two press run connections and a reduced female threaded branch. The fitting allows the copper tubing run to continue through the tee while providing a smaller threaded branch connection.
SCI Press Copper Fittings are intended for ASTM B88 Types K, L, and M hard copper tubing and compatible soft copper tubing within the manufacturer's specified range.
The reduced FPT branch provides a direct transition to compatible male-threaded valves, adapters, equipment connections, or other components while the main copper run uses mechanical press connections.
