This 1\/2 inch fitting features a C x C x C (sweat) end connection on all three ports, allowing copper tubing to be joined using standard soldering techniques. Cast copper construction provides reliable pressure performance and corrosion resistance typical of copper alloy fittings. The drop tee configuration positions the branch outlet perpendicular to the run, making it well suited for branch takeoffs in tight spaces or drop-down service connections. The fitting weighs 0.16 pounds and is sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used in potable water supply lines, hydronic radiant systems, baseboard heating loops, and general pressure piping where 1\/2 inch copper tubing is specified. The sweat connection type is standard across residential new construction and retrofit plumbing work. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting wherever a tee branch is needed along a 1\/2 inch copper run, particularly in cases where the branch must drop away from the main line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCast copper construction for durability and corrosion resistance in pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eC x C x C sweat connections on all three ports for standard solder joining\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch fitting size suits common residential and light commercial piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDrop tee configuration allows branch takeoff perpendicular to the main run\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePressure fitting style rated for typical supply and hydronic system pressures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.16 pounds for easy handling in confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1\/2 inch copper pressure piping systems using C x C x C sweat connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the water or fluid system completely before cutting into any existing line. Clean and flux all mating copper surfaces before soldering, and allow the joint to cool fully before restoring pressure. Do not apply torque or mechanical stress to the fitting during or after the soldering process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Drop Tee\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\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\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.16 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: B132100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIBCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542761537842,"sku":"B132100","price":47.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e172461dc0cb2071529885b293ae0895.jpg?v=1785906590","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nibco-b132100-cast-copper-drop-tee-1-2-in-c-x-c-x-c","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
