Merit Brass MB14620 Press Tee 2x2x1.5 Inches

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS MB14620 is a press-style tee fitting designed for joining copper or compatible tubing in plumbing and hydronic piping systems. With a 2 inch by 2 inch run and a 1-1/2 inch branch outlet, this tee allows a reduced branch connection without the need for open-flame soldering. Press fittings are installed using a compatible press tool, making them a fast and reliable choice for licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on both new construction and retrofit projects.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where press-connection technology is specified. It is commonly installed in domestic water distribution, radiant heating loops, and hydronic systems where quick, flameless connections are required. The reduced branch size accommodates branch lines running to fixtures or secondary circuits off a main 2 inch trunk line.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using a calibrated press tool rated for the fitting size.
