Elkhart Products 10032972 Copper Bullhead Tee 2x2x2.5 in

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS 10032972 is a wrot copper bullhead tee designed for sweat-solder copper piping systems. It features a 2 inches x 2 inches x 2-1/2 inches configuration, where the branch outlet is larger than the run, making it a true bullhead fitting. All three connections are C x C x C (cup-to-cup-to-cup), meaning each end accepts standard copper tubing for a solder joint. Wrot copper construction delivers high pressure and temperature tolerance suited to domestic water supply, hydronic heating, and light commercial plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers install this fitting as part of copper distribution systems where flow is directed from two smaller run connections into a larger branch, or vice versa.

This bullhead tee is suited for residential and light commercial copper piping installations. Typical applications include domestic hot and cold water distribution, hydronic radiant and forced-hot-water heating systems, and recirculation loops where the branch diameter must exceed the run diameter. The solder-joint connection type is compatible with standard 95/5 or lead-free solder and flux per applicable plumbing codes. The wrot designation indicates the fitting is wrought, meaning it is formed from solid copper rather than cast, providing consistent wall thickness and reliable joint integrity.

Key Features

• Bullhead configuration: 2-1/2 inch branch outlet exceeds the 2 inch run connections for increased flow capacity at the branch
• Wrot copper construction for consistent wall thickness and strong solder joints
• C x C x C cup connections accept standard copper tubing on all three ports
• Solder-type joints compatible with lead-free solder and flux per IPC and local plumbing codes
• Weighs 1.961 pounds — substantial enough for permanent piping installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wrot copper solder fitting for use with standard copper tubing in 2 inches and 2-1/2 inches nominal sizes in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic heating systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the water supply and drain the affected lines before cutting or soldering. Clean all pipe ends and fitting cups thoroughly with emery cloth and apply appropriate flux before soldering to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not apply heat unevenly or overheat the fitting, as wrot copper fittings can be damaged by excessive torch dwell time.
