Meet the QuickFitting 1 in. Copper Tee—an innovative, screwdriver-free solution for branching copper piping.Designed for fast, reliable connections, this three-port copper tee uses proven press-to-connect technology to deliver leak-free joints without heat, flames, or solder. Built for durability and versatility, it’s ready for both indoor plumbing projects and underground installations that require a robust potable-water fitting.
Why this copper tee stands out
-
Two or more press-fit ends on the 1-inch copper tee provide quick, tool-free connections that save time on installation and reduce debris and smoke from torches.
-
Three 1-inch ports give you a clean branched layout for supply lines, making it ideal for distributing water to fixtures, fixtures-to-valves, or looping through radiant systems.
-
Underground-rated construction means you can confidently bury runs or place the fitting in exterior installations without sacrificing performance.
-
NSF-listed for potable-water applications, ensuring the fitting meets safety standards for drinking-water systems.
-
Durable copper material provides dependable corrosion resistance and long service life in residential and light commercial plumbing.
Ideal uses
Perfect for expanding a water line in a bathroom remodel, tying in a new irrigation branch, or feeding multiple fixtures from a single supply. It’s especially handy in tight spaces where torch-free connections speed up work and minimize disruption to existing piping.
Installation at a glance
- Shut off the water supply and relieve pressure in the system.
- Cut the copper tubing square and deburr the edges for a clean insert.
- Place the pipe into the press-fit ends using a compatible press tool until fully seated.
- Check joints for proper seating and perform a pressure test to confirm a leak-free operation.
Practical tips for best results
- Use the correct press tool and fittings compatible with 1-inch copper tubing to ensure a reliable seal.
- Clean and dry the pipe ends before pressing to prevent debris from compromising the joint.
- Inspect underground runs periodically after installation, especially in areas with shifting soil or freeze-thaw cycles.
