Nibco 9099555FPC Press Tee 1x1x1/2 Wrot Copper

Product Description

The NIBCO 9099555FPC is a wrot copper press tee designed for joining copper tubing systems without open flame or solder. It uses a press connection on all three ports, allowing a licensed plumber or HVAC technician to make a secure, leak-tight joint using a standard press tool. The fitting is rated for residential and commercial applications and carries nominal pipe sizes of 1 x 1 x 1/2 inches. When the fitting is properly crimped, a unique N witness mark becomes visible, confirming a complete connection. At 0.324 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fitting suited for tight spaces.

This press tee is used in potable water, hot water, chilled water, and process water systems in both residential and commercial construction. It is appropriate for plumbing and HVAC hydronic piping installations. The fitting can also be installed underground where press-style copper connections are specified. It is commonly used in new construction, renovation work, and retrofit projects where torch-free installation is required by code or site conditions.
