It connects two 2-inch run connections with a 1\/2-inch female-threaded branch outlet, following a C x F x C end configuration — sweat solder on both run ends and female NPT on the branch. Cast copper construction provides the wall thickness and pressure rating expected from a pressure-rated fitting. Plumbers and pipefitters install this tee when branching a smaller threaded service line off a larger copper main. The fitting weighs 1.58 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing rough-in work, hydronic heating branch takeoffs, and water distribution systems where a threaded branch connection is required on a copper main line. The C x F x C configuration is common in applications where the branch ties into a threaded valve, gauge, or fixture supply. Typical installation is performed by licensed plumbers working to IPC or local plumbing code requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast copper construction for consistent wall thickness and pressure-rated performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 inches x 1\/2 inches x 2 inches sizing with C x F x C end connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFemale NPT branch allows direct connection to threaded valves or fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweat-solder run ends compatible with standard copper tube using 95\/5 or lead-free solder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure fitting style rated for potable water and hydronic service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation pressure tee for copper plumbing systems requiring a 2 inches run by 1\/2 inches female-threaded branch configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the IPC or applicable local plumbing code. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before cutting or sweating any connections. Clean and flux all sweat-solder cup ends prior to applying heat, and use only lead-free solder where the fitting serves potable water. The female NPT branch should be wrapped with appropriate thread sealant tape before assembling threaded components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 2 x 1\/2 x 2 inches\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\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: C x F x C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.58 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175305\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: B161450\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIBCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539319357746,"sku":"B161450","price":268.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cdda4c29052a98306b1a078813cf3464.jpg?v=1785838261","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nibco-b161450-cast-copper-tee-2x1-2x2-c-x-f-x-c","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
