Copper reducing tee Conex series 5000 35 x 28 x 35 mm

The Conex series 5000 copper reducing tee 35 x 28 x 35 mm is a soldered plumbing fitting designed to join three copper pipes where a reduced branch is required. Manufactured from copper, this reducing tee provides a corrosion-resistant connection and a smooth internal bore to maintain flow performance when transitioning between pipe diameters. It is intended for use in plumbing, heating and refrigeration systems where a reliable, long-lasting joint between dissimilar pipe sizes is needed.

Advantages

This Conex reducing tee offers durable copper construction that resists corrosion and scales. Its reducing geometry ensures a controlled transition between larger and smaller pipe runs while preserving hydraulic performance. The fitting is compatible with standard soldering techniques used in copper pipe assemblies, enabling secure, leak-resistant joints when correctly installed. Designed to meet industry expectations for dimensional consistency and mechanical strength, it supports dependable service in potable water, heating and refrigeration applications.

Suitable for

• Joining copper pipe runs with a reduced branch in domestic and commercial plumbing
• Creating branches in central heating and hydronic systems
• Integrating copper lines in refrigeration and HVAC installations
• Replacing or adapting existing copper pipework where size transition is required

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Configuration: reducing tee (one reduced branch)
• End connection type: socket for soldered joint
• Nominal pipe sizes: main run 35 mm, branch 28 mm
• Application environments: potable water, heating, refrigeration

How to use

Prepare copper pipe ends by cutting square, removing burrs and cleaning with a suitable brush or abrasive cloth. Apply flux to the fitting sockets and pipe ends, insert pipes fully into the reducing tee, and heat evenly until solder flows to create a continuous capillary joint. Allow the joint to cool naturally and then remove any residual flux. Ensure system is pressure tested according to local codes and manufacturer guidance before returning to service.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate solder and flux compatible with potable water if the fitting is installed on drinking water systems. Follow applicable standards and local regulations for brazing or soldering temperatures, ventilation and safety procedures. Inspect joints after installation and perform pressure testing to confirm leak-tightness before commissioning.
