This lead-free fitting allows a branch outlet to be mounted flush against a wall framing member, with the FPT port oriented outward to accept a threaded male adapter or fixture supply. Cast copper construction provides consistent wall thickness and reliable joint integrity when soldered. Licensed plumbers install this fitting during rough-in work where a surface-mounted or wall-bracket water outlet is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drop ear tee is used in potable water supply systems where a stub-out must be secured to a stud or backing plate. The integral ears allow the fitting to be fastened directly to framing, keeping the outlet stable and reducing stress on the soldered joint. Typical applications include shower valve rough-ins, laundry box installations, and wall-mount faucet supply lines in both new construction and remodel projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free cast copper construction meets potable water safety requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweat x sweat x FPT connection allows soldered supply lines with a threaded outlet port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegral mounting ears fasten to wall framing or backing for a secure, rigid stub-out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch size fits standard residential water supply branch lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast construction provides uniform wall thickness for consistent solder joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1\/2 inch copper sweat plumbing systems requiring a wall-mounted threaded outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes.
