Nibco 9101355HPC Press Tee 1-1/2x1-1/2x1 Inch Copper

Product Description

The NIBCO 9101355HPC is a copper press tee fitting designed for tool-crimped, solder-free connections in copper tubing systems. The reducing tee runs 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 inches on the through-run and reduces to a 1-inch branch outlet, making it suitable for trunk-and-branch distribution layouts. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors use press fittings to eliminate open flame on the job site, speeding up installation in occupied or sensitive spaces. When properly crimped, a unique N witness mark appears on the fitting, confirming a complete and leak-free joint without additional inspection tools.

This fitting is rated for use in residential and commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, compressed air, and gas distribution systems. It is compatible with seamless copper water tube per applicable ASTM standards and can be installed in concealed or underground applications where conditions permit. The press connection style makes it well suited for retrofit work, tenant improvements, and new construction where torch-free installation is required by code or site conditions.
