Nibco B102700 Cast Copper Pressure Tee 2x2x3 Cxcxc

Product Description

The NIBCO B102700 is a cast copper pressure tee fitting used to create branch connections in copper piping systems. With a run size of 2 inches by 2 inches and a branch outlet of 3 inches, it uses a C x C x C end connection, meaning all three ports accept standard copper tubing via sweat soldering. This fitting is rated as a pressure fitting, making it appropriate for potable water supply, hydronic heating, and other pressurized plumbing applications. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working with Type K, L, or M copper tubing in residential and light commercial systems.

This fitting is suited for branch takeoffs in copper distribution piping where the branch is larger than the run. The 3-inch branch outlet configuration is commonly used in main trunk transitions or when increasing flow capacity to a branch leg. It is appropriate for new construction and retrofit plumbing work in residential and commercial settings where copper sweat connections are specified by code or design.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply and drain the line completely before cutting into existing piping. All three ports require clean, properly fluxed copper tube ends and a sweat solder joint made with a torch; pipe diameter and wall thickness must match the fitting ports. Inspect all joints for leaks after restoring pressure.
