Copper tee is a plumbing fitting that is shaped like the letter “T.” It is used to create a branch connection in copper pipe systems, allowing the flow of water or other fluids in three directions. The basic structure of a copper tee resembles the letter “T,” with an upright section and a horizontal crossbar. The upright section has an opening for the main supply line, while the crossbar has openings on both ends for branch lines.
The connections on a copper tee are often designed for sweat or solder connections. This involves heating the joint and applying solder to create a secure and watertight connection. Copper tees are typically made of copper, taking advantage of copper’s corrosion resistance, durability, and suitability for plumbing applications.
