A.Y. McDonald 5182-006 3/4" CTS Tee, No-Lead

The A.Y. McDonald 5182-006 is a 3/4" CTS x CTS x CTS tee fitting (model 74760Q) built for rough-in potable water branch connections where copper tube size (CTS) tubing runs need a three-way split. All three ports are CTS x CTS x CTS, making this tee a straightforward branch fitting for tying a new supply line off an existing CTS run without transitioning pipe types. As a No-Lead (NL) fitting, it is manufactured to meet low-lead content requirements for water-service applications, an important consideration for plumbers and contractors sourcing rough-in components for potable water systems. This fitting is intended for behind-the-wall and underground/under-slab CTS tubing installations and is sized specifically for 3/4" nominal CTS tubing on all three legs, keeping the transition simple for crews already running CTS pipe through a job.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 3/4" CTS x CTS x CTS configuration for branching 3/4" copper tube size tubing runs.
  • Tee Configuration: Three-way CTS fitting allows a branch line to be added to an existing CTS tubing run.
  • No-Lead (NL): Manufactured to No-Lead specifications for potable water service applications.
  • Model Reference: Identified as model 74760Q by the manufacturer, corresponding to A.Y. McDonald part number 5182-006.
  • Consistent Connection Type: All three ports use CTS connections, simplifying installation with matching CTS tubing and fittings without needing an adapter.

A.Y. McDonald 5182-006 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes does the A.Y. McDonald 5182 CTS tee come in?
The 5182 no-lead CTS tee is offered in two sizes: 3/4 inch (part number 5182-006) and 1 inch (part number 5182-066). Both are straight tees with the same size on all three ports, so a 3/4 inch tee branches a 3/4 inch CTS run and the 1 inch tee branches a 1 inch run. There is no reducing configuration in the 5182 family, so a branch that steps down needs a separate reducer or bushing.
2) Is the A.Y. McDonald 5182 tee approved for potable water?
It is a no-lead (NL) fitting, manufactured to no-lead specifications for potable water service. That is the rating carried on the 5182 tee, and it is why it shows up on residential and commercial water service rough-in, under-slab water lines, and potable distribution piping.
3) Will this tee connect directly to my CTS tubing, or do I need an adapter?
All three legs of the 5182 tee are CTS, so it lands straight onto copper tube size tubing of the matching nominal size with no adapter and no pipe-type transition. If one of your legs is IPS thread or a different pipe type, this tee is the wrong fitting for that leg and you will need a transition fitting instead.
4) Can the A.Y. McDonald 5182 tee be buried underground or under a slab?
Yes. It is intended for behind-the-wall and underground or under-slab CTS tubing installations, which is the usual place a water service branch gets made. Typical uses listed are water service rough-in and branching a CTS run for additional fixtures.
5) What is A.Y. McDonald model 74760Q, and how does it relate to part 5182-006?
74760Q is A.Y. McDonald's own model reference for the 3/4 inch no-lead CTS tee sold under part number 5182-006. Same fitting, two designations. If a spec sheet or takeoff calls for 74760Q, ordering 5182-006 gets you that part.
6) I need to tie a new fixture line off an existing water line. Is this the right fitting?
If the existing run is CTS tubing and the new branch is the same size, yes. The 5182 is a three-way CTS tee made for exactly that: cutting into a run and taking a branch off it without changing pipe types. Where the branch is a different size than the main, this tee will not do it on its own, since all three ports match.
