Nibco B160650 Cast Copper Pressure Tee 1-1/4 in Cxfxc

Product Description

The NIBCO B160650 is a cast copper pressure tee fitting designed for sweat-connect plumbing and hydronic piping systems. It features a C x F x C end configuration, meaning two cup (solder) ends and one female threaded end, allowing transitions between soldered and threaded connections within a single fitting body. Sized at 1-1/4 inches, it is suited for main distribution lines in residential and light commercial plumbing. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during rough-in or retrofit work where a branch takeoff and a threaded port are needed at the same junction point.

This pressure tee is intended for use in potable water supply, hydronic heating, and general pressure plumbing applications. The C x F x C connection style makes it a practical choice when a branch must terminate or connect to a threaded adapter, valve, or fixture while the run continues as a soldered copper line. It is appropriate for both new construction and repair-and-replace work in residential and light commercial settings.

Key Features

• Cast copper construction provides consistent wall thickness and reliable solder joints
• C x F x C end configuration combines sweat and female threaded connections in one body
• 1-1/4 inch fitting size suits main distribution and branch piping runs
• Pressure fitting rating suitable for standard water supply and hydronic system pressures
• Compact tee body minimizes space requirements at the branch point

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service pressure tee for 1-1/4 inch copper piping systems using sweat and female threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable edition of the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local amendments. Shut off and drain the water supply completely before cutting into the existing line. Clean and flux all cup ends thoroughly before soldering, and allow the joint to cool before applying pressure. Do not over-torque fittings threaded into the female port; use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on the male adapter being installed.
