Everflow RCTE0012 1/2 Inch Press X Press X Press Tee

Product Description

The EVERFLOW RCTE0012 is a 1/2-inch press tee fitting designed for plumbing systems that use press-style connections. It features three press-end connections, allowing a single fitting to branch a supply line in any direction without soldering, open flame, or flux. This fitting is suited for copper or compatible tubing systems and is typically installed by licensed plumbers during new construction or retrofit work. The press connection method speeds up installation and eliminates torch work in tight or fire-sensitive spaces.

The RCTE0012 is used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a 1/2-inch branch tee is needed. It fits into press-fit piping systems, making it a practical choice for water distribution lines, hydronic heating loops, and similar piping configurations. The three-port press design allows the installer to split or redirect flow without transitioning to a different connection type.
