I am surprised anyone ever made that fitting.
It sounds like a pretty (no father) size to me

My installs usually look at good as they work.
Astetically a fitting that is not "made" looks much better
than a fitting and a bushing. It is less work, and less
liability as well. I have used a 3/4 x 3/4 x 1 brass
tee I think 4 times this year alone.

FWIW I stock on my truck 1/2 thru 1" brass everything...st 90's too.
Fittings that El Cheapo Plumbero would NEVER use, because it costs
too much I use frequently, and usually while fixing what the "cheap" guy did...
BELIEVE IT

Again I seek 3/4" x 3/4" x 1" Brass NPT Tees or sometimes called a "Bullhead" tee.
This is a sad day for real plumbers who
care when a normal fitting is no longer
available.

twin irrigation valve job, almost done, I did last month.

Forty years in the pipefitting business...I never used a 3/4x3/4x1 brass tee.What are you doing with it?You can use a 1 inch tee and bush to 3/4.

It's a perfectly logical fitting where the 1" feeds two 3/4" runs. It is a nicer arrangement than just using bushings even if bushings will work. I had to locate some 1" X 1" X 2" tees for boiler work and had to special order them. Bought about a hundred of them and made a lot of nice clean installations. Why not use the best and cleanest fitting for the job?

I was gonna say Anvil but looking at their site I don't see any fittings in brass, only steel.

Anvil Pipe Fittings


And for those that wonder, their manufacturing facilities are here in the USA.

You have to be willing to look for the few that are left, but they deserve our
support where earned with quality product and fair pricing with a bit of helpful
customer service thrown in. We buy from them all the time and many local plumbing
suppliers carry tPipeproducts. U.S. Pipe, one of the three companies that make up Mueller,
is one of the last manufacturers casting large bore pipe in the US I recently found out when
ordering a 42" CI 45.

Many of you may recognize their previous name, Grinnell, which when Grinnelll was bought
by Tyco and then later sold Tyco retained the Grinnell name.

THE UBC (Uniform Building Code) demands 10' of METALIC piping
"in the ground' before you can transistion to non-metalic so as
to suffice for electrical grounding requirements. "I" specify brass
at water services. I live by the motto that i will only do to
your property what I would do to the same if I owned it...and
I want it tough...

I laugh at fitting to fitting souldered headers like that...
what a joke...


BUT, J_J, your slippin'~! The fitting I seek is not there!
(Been there days ago looking hehe )
