Bk 162-105 1 Inch Fip Plastic Compression Pex Tee

Product Description

The BK 162-105 is a 1-inch female iron pipe (FIP) plastic compression PEX tee fitting designed for cold water plumbing distribution systems. The fitting features a female pipe thread outlet on the compression run, allowing connection to threaded pipe while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant joint at the PEX lines. Constructed from plastic, this tee is suited for residential and light commercial cold water supply applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work where PEX tubing meets threaded iron or PVC piping infrastructure.

This fitting is designed for use in cold water supply lines where Schedule 40 iron pipe or Schedule 40 PVC pipe is present. It bridges threaded pipe connections with PEX compression-style runs, making it a practical choice in residential plumbing rough-ins, fixture supply branches, and repipe projects. The compression design eliminates the need for soldering or crimping tools at the threaded outlet transition point, simplifying installation in tight spaces or retrofit scenarios.

Key Features

• 1-inch FIP (female iron pipe) thread outlet on compression run for versatile pipe transitions
• Compatible with Schedule 40 cold water iron pipe and Schedule 40 PVC pipe
• Plastic construction resists corrosion in cold water service environments
• Tee configuration supports branch line connections in PEX distribution systems
• Compression-style connection reduces tooling requirements at the transition point

Compatibility

Designed for use with Schedule 40 cold water iron pipe and Schedule 40 PVC pipe. Intended for cold water service only. Verify thread size and pipe schedule before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line fully before disassembly or fitting installation. Hand-tighten the FIP threaded connection first, then wrench-tighten to achieve a proper seal without over-torquing plastic threads. This fitting is rated for cold water service only and must not be used on hot water lines or steam systems.
