It features a reducing center outlet, with a 2-1\/2 inch run on both ends and a 1\/2 inch branch outlet. All three ends use a sweat (C x C x C) connection, designed for soldered joints. Weighing 2.46 pounds, it is suited for pressure applications in residential and commercial plumbing systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where a branch line must be pulled from a main 2-1\/2 inch copper run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is appropriate for potable water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution piping, and general pressure piping installations where copper is the specified material. The reducing branch allows a smaller 1\/2 inch line to be tapped off a larger 2-1\/2 inch main without additional reducing couplings inline. It is typically found in commercial mechanical rooms, multifamily residential plumbing rough-ins, and hydronic systems requiring branch takeoffs at the main distribution trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCast copper construction for durability and compatibility with soldered copper systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing branch outlet: 2-1\/2 inch run x 1\/2 inch branch x 2-1\/2 inch run\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eC x C x C end connections accept standard sweat-solder joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePressure fitting style rated for pressurized plumbing and hydronic applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-piece cast body with no seams or crimps at the tee intersection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style pressure fitting for use in standard copper pipe systems following ASTM B88 tubing dimensions, where 2-1\/2 inch and 1\/2 inch sweat connections are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and drain the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Clean and flux all mating surfaces thoroughly before soldering to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not apply heat directly to the fitting body longer than necessary, as overheating cast copper fittings can compromise joint integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tee\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 x 1\/2 x 2-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pressure Fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: C x C x C (Sweat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.46 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NIBCO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: B106500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIBCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542052929842,"sku":"B106500","price":425.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5ba3b4e2a58ec85dcfc8e77065805d31_52167263-53d3-4fa6-8698-1950481981a9.jpg?v=1785890611","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nibco-b106500-cast-copper-pressure-tee-2-1-2x1-2x2-1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
