It features a reducing branch configuration sized at 3\/4 inches by 1\/2 inches by 3\/4 inches, with end connections arranged as C x C x F — sweat on the run ends and a female threaded branch outlet. Cast copper construction provides strength and leak-resistant joints when properly soldered. The fitting weighs 0.28 pounds and ships as a single unit. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting wherever a branch takeoff with a threaded female connection is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations. It is commonly used when branching off a 3\/4 inch copper main line to a 1\/2 inch threaded branch connection, such as a shutoff valve, gauge port, or threaded adapter. The sweat run connections allow for direct copper-to-copper soldering on the main line, while the female threaded branch accepts a standard male-threaded fitting or valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast copper construction for durable, high-integrity pressure joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReducing tee configuration: 3\/4 inches run x 1\/2 inches branch x 3\/4 inches run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC x C x F end connections — sweat run ends with female threaded branch outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure fitting style rated for standard plumbing system working pressures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.28 pounds for easy handling in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation pressure fitting compatible with standard 3\/4 inch and 1\/2 inch copper tubing systems following ASME B16.22 dimensional standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into existing lines. Clean and flux all sweat connection surfaces before soldering, and ensure the threaded branch connection is made with an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape. Do not over-tighten the threaded branch fitting, as cast copper threads can be damaged by excess torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Copper\u003c\/li\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\/4 inches x 1\/2 inches x 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: C x C x F (Sweat x Sweat x Female Thread)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pressure Fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.28 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: B146250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIBCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541950890290,"sku":"B146250","price":35.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/afd31f5a46a52d2ff71321352c9b9164.jpg?v=1785888349","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nibco-b146250-cast-copper-tee-3-4x1-2x3-4-c-x-c-x-f","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
