Copper Tee

Category Overview

The copper tee is a brazeable fitting used to split copper tube lines in three directions in air conditioning, refrigeration and HVAC systems. This T-shaped fitting comes into play when a branch (leg) needs to be added to the main line, when the gas and liquid lines between the indoor and outdoor units need to be multiplied, or when a parallel circuit needs to be created in split systems. Products manufactured from high-purity copper can be used safely with modern refrigerants such as R410A, R32, R22 and R134a thanks to their high-pressure-resistant construction. Located under the Yedepa.com Copper Fittings parent category, this range offers a neat and complete solution for professional air conditioning installers and refrigeration technicians.

Products You Can Find in This Category

The Yedepa.com Copper Tee category contains brazed three-way tube fittings in the sizes most frequently needed in the field. A range of sizes is available covering different applications, from air conditioner indoor-outdoor unit diameters to industrial refrigeration lines. Some of the featured in-stock products in this category are:

• Copper Tee 1/4" - 6 mm: For small-diameter liquid lines, capillary circuits and low-capacity split air conditioners.
• Copper Tee 1/2": On the gas lines of medium-capacity air conditioners and in domestic refrigeration applications.
• Copper Tee 5/8" - 15-16 mm: In the gas line distribution of multi-split and VRF systems.
• Copper Tee 3/4" - 19.05 mm: On higher-capacity air conditioning and commercial refrigeration lines.
• Copper Tee 1 3/8" - 35 mm: In industrial refrigeration, supermarket cold storage and large VRF projects.

Selection Criteria and Tips

The first criterion in choosing the right copper tee is the existing copper tube diameter. The spare parts market in Turkey uses both inch (1/4", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 1 3/8") and metric (6 mm, 15-16 mm, 19.05 mm, 35 mm) designations together, so the size label needs to be verified in both systems. If all three ends of the tee are the same diameter an equal tee is used; if the branch diameter differs, a reducing tee is chosen; the decision should be made before the project according to the geometry on site. Purging nitrogen through the line during brazing to reduce oxidation directly affects the life and leak-tightness of the joint. In addition, the wall thickness of the tee (usually type K or L copper) should be selected to suit the operating pressure of the system. With high-pressure refrigerants such as R410A, refrigeration-grade (ACR) copper fittings with adequate pressure rating must always be used.
