Nibco B161400 Cast Copper Pressure Tee 2x3/4x2 Cxfxc

Product Description

The NIBCO B161400 is a cast copper pressure tee fitting used to create a branch connection in copper piping systems. The fitting measures 2 inches by 3/4 inches by 2 inches and uses a C x F x C end connection configuration, meaning the two run ends are sweat (solder cup) connections and the branch outlet is a female threaded connection. This combination allows a plumber to join copper pipe on the run while connecting a threaded branch line without an additional adapter. Cast copper construction provides reliable performance in residential and light commercial plumbing pressure applications.

This tee is suited for potable water supply, hydronic heating, and general pressure piping installations where a reducing branch takeoff is needed from a 2-inch main line to a 3/4-inch threaded outlet. The solder-cup run connections are compatible with standard hard copper tubing, and the female threaded branch accepts a standard male-threaded fitting or valve. Licensed plumbers typically install this fitting in new construction and retrofit work where branch connections are required along a main run.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off and fully drain the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Sweat connections require proper flux application, appropriate solder, and a torch; ensure the fitting socket is clean and dry before soldering. The female threaded branch outlet should be assembled with thread sealant tape or compound rated for the intended service.
