The size range summarises this figure's table and does not guarantee stock in every size. TUPYBSP working pressure is 25 bar from −20 to +120 °C; consult the catalogue pressure–temperature table outside that range. Hydrostatic test values are not working pressures; the catalogue specifies a separate 37.5 bar test value for joints. Check the product-family catalogue and the required figure and size approvals before selection.
These marks relate to TUPY product-line standards and approvals. Scope varies by figure, size and application; confirm the current catalogue and figure-specific listing before specification.

In most piping networks the branch is not the same size as the main line. The reducing tee answers that need in a single piece: the branch port is cast smaller than the two run ports.
The alternative is an equal tee together with a reducer — one more fitting, one more thread and one more potential leak point. The reducing tee removes that intermediate piece and keeps the run shorter, which matters in tight plant rooms.
Because the flow cross-section changes at the branch, casting uniformity at that point is particularly important. The TUPY reducing tee is made in malleable iron (MI) and the threads on all three ports are machined to BSP.
It is available galvanised and black, in a range of size combinations.
The TUPY Brazil Reducing Tee is made in 32 sizes, from 3/8"×1/4" to 4"×3". The full list of sizes, with the dimensions in millimetres and the weight of each piece, is in the dimensions and weights table on this page.
The weight depends on the size: the 2"×3/4" size, for example, weighs 0.587 kg galvanised and 0.565 kg black. The weights of every size are taken from the official TUPY catalogue and are listed in the table on this page, so they can be used to work out shipping weight and freight cost.
TUPYBSP fittings are threaded to BSP in accordance with ISO 7-1; the male thread is tapered and the seal is made on the thread itself. BSP is not interchangeable with NPT, and screwing the two together will leak. TUPY also produces a separate NPT line, which is covered in the downloads section.
The figure 130 tee has three ends of the same diameter and takes a 90° branch off the main line. The figure 130R reducing tee takes a branch of smaller diameter and removes the need for a separate reducer. The figure 180 cross has four ends and is used where two lines cross or where a branch is taken off both sides.
According to TUPY's technical catalogue, the working pressure of TUPYBSP fittings is 25 bar between −20 °C and +120 °C. For temperatures outside that interval, use the catalogue pressure-temperature table and confirm suitability for the application. The catalogue lists hydrostatic design-test pressures of 100 bar for other fittings from 1/4 in to 4 in, 64 bar for 5 in and 6 in, and 37.5 bar for joints. These are test values, not working-pressure ratings. Confirm the applicable fitting, temperature range and project requirements before selection.
The TUPY Reducing Tee is manufactured to EN 10242 / ISO 49. TUPY malleable cast iron fittings are built to ISO 49, EN 10242 and ABNT NBR 6943, and their threads follow ISO 7-1. Check the current figure- and size-specific listing before relying on an approval.
Where dimensions permit, genuine TUPY fittings carry cast markings such as the factory mark and nominal size. Check the figure-specific catalogue and packaging as well. The threads are clean and free of burrs, and the galvanised coating is even. The surest check is to weigh the piece and compare it with the weight table on this page; counterfeit pieces usually come out lighter than the official catalogue weight.
