Nibco B038750 Cast Copper Baseboard Tee 3/4x1/8x1 in

Product Description

The NIBCO B038750 is a cast copper baseboard tee designed for hydronic heating piping systems. This pressure fitting connects copper tubing runs while providing a female branch outlet for baseboard element connections. The end configuration is C x F x C, meaning the run ends accept copper tubing with a sweat solder joint and the branch is a female threaded connection. It is sized at 3/4 inches on the run by 1/8 inches on the branch by 1 inch on the outlet. Licensed plumbers and hydronic heating technicians are the primary installers of this fitting in residential and light commercial applications.

This baseboard tee is used in hot water baseboard heating systems where copper supply and return piping feeds fin-tube baseboard convectors. It is a standard pressure fitting suited for low-pressure hydronic loops operating at typical residential system pressures. The sweat-connect run ends integrate directly into copper main piping, while the threaded branch accommodates baseboard element or valve connections. Its cast copper construction makes it appropriate for potable and non-potable closed-loop heating systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified hydronic heating technician. Drain and depressurize the system and allow all pipes to cool completely before cutting into the line. Clean and flux all sweat connection surfaces thoroughly before applying heat, and use lead-free solder where required by local plumbing code. Thread the female branch connection with an appropriate pipe thread sealant or tape per IPC and local code requirements.
