Construction Details
SCI Press Fig. SP620R is a copper press reducing tee with three press connections, allowing compatible copper tubing sizes to be joined while creating a branch from the main piping run.
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 reducing configuration combines the branch connection and required size transition into one fitting, while SCI Press technology eliminates conventional soldering or brazing at the press joints.
