Nibco B147600 Cast Copper Pressure Tee 2x2x1/2 Cxcxf

Product Description

The NIBCO B147600 is a cast copper pressure tee fitting designed for use in plumbing and hydronic piping systems. It features a 2-inch by 2-inch run with a 1/2-inch branch outlet, using a sweat-by-sweat-by-female (C x C x F) end connection configuration. The cast copper construction delivers reliable performance in pressure applications where consistent wall thickness and joint integrity are critical. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial water distribution, hydronic heating, or radiant systems. It weighs 0.97 pounds and ships as a single unit.

This fitting is suited for copper piping installations that require a reducing branch takeoff from a 2-inch main line down to a 1/2-inch female-threaded connection. The sweat connections on the run ends allow for standard soldered joints, while the female-threaded branch accepts a male-threaded fitting or valve. Typical applications include domestic hot and cold water supply, hydronic heating distribution loops, and similar closed-loop pressure systems in residential and commercial construction.

Key Features

• Cast copper construction for consistent wall thickness and pressure-rated performance
• 2 inches x 2 inches x 1/2 inch reducing tee configuration for branch takeoff applications
• C x C x F end connections: sweat inlet and outlet with female-threaded branch
• Pressure fitting style suitable for water distribution and hydronic systems
• Single-unit packaging — no minimum order quantity above one

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pressure fitting compatible with standard copper tubing systems using sweat (solder) connections on the run and a female NPT branch connection, in accordance with typical plumbing pressure fitting standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the water supply and allow all piping to cool before cutting and fitting. Sweat connections require clean, dry, deburred tubing ends and appropriate flux and solder rated for potable water service where applicable. Do not overtighten the female-threaded branch connection; use appropriate thread sealant and follow fitting manufacturer torque guidance.
