It features a C x C x F end connection pattern, meaning two sweat (solder) cup ends and one female threaded end, giving the installer the flexibility to branch a threaded component off a soldered copper run. At 3\/8 inches, this fitting is sized for small-diameter copper tube work. Cast copper construction delivers the pressure integrity and corrosion resistance expected in potable water and mechanical system applications. Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC pipefitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic piping applications where a branch connection is needed on a 3\/8-inch copper line. The female threaded outlet allows a threaded valve, gauge, or instrument to be integrated directly into a solder-joint copper circuit without an additional adapter. Typical use cases include domestic water distribution branches, radiant heating circuits, and refrigeration piping where a threaded port is required at a tee location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCast copper construction meets ASTM B584 for pressure and corrosion performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eC x C x F end connection combines two sweat cup ends with one female threaded outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inches fitting size for small-diameter copper tube applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePressure fitting style rated for typical potable water and hydronic system pressures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact, single-piece cast body — no crimping or mechanical assembly required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style pressure fitting for 3\/8-inch copper tube systems installed to standard plumbing and mechanical codes.

Shut off and depressurize the water or fluid system and allow all lines to drain fully before cutting into an existing copper circuit. Sweat cup ends require proper flux application, a torch, and lead-free solder compliant with current potable water codes. The female threaded outlet should be joined with an appropriate thread sealant rated for the service fluid.\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: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: C x C x F\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\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM B584, ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 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: B145550\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIBCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538872631602,"sku":"B145550","price":40.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4f3978b5c70c85f7eb1428453a2b71d2.jpg?v=1785828649","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nibco-b145550-cast-copper-tee-3-8in-c-x-c-x-f","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
