I'd say 'wye'

Found this charming not-so-common fitting while sorting out some scrap to turn in - if I wanted another one (which I don't, just now....) what would I ask for?



I'd call it a 1 x 3/4 x 3/4 copper wye, but what do I know? I showed it to a nameless counterman, and he said 'they don't make those'. Hmmmm.



Just curious.

    search

    the fitting manufacturers websites, sometimes you can find unusual fittings like that. Perhaps they could supply one sample piece?

    just different

    45° Wye C x C x C – Cast

    They are still made, but look different

    The one you posted you used to see in alot in baseboard systems, 1/2" basboard split runs with a common 3/4" return

    Some were even made with balancing butterflies in the branches.
