Nibco Inc 9097200PCU Press Tee 1/2 Inch Lead-free

Product Description

The NIBCO INC 9097200PCU is a 1/2-inch lead-free copper press tee fitting designed for use in continuous pipeline runs that require a branch connection. The press-style design eliminates the need for open-flame soldering, allowing a secure, watertight joint to be made with a compatible press tool. This fitting meets lead-free requirements for potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this type of fitting during new construction, remodel work, or repair of copper water distribution systems.

This press tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where copper tubing is the primary distribution material. It allows a technician to branch off an existing in-line run without cutting out a large section of pipe. The press connection method is particularly useful in confined spaces or areas where torch work is not practical or permitted. Each package contains 10 fittings, sold per unit of measure.

Key Features

• Press-style connection eliminates open-flame soldering on the jobsite
• 1/2-inch size fits standard copper tubing of the same nominal dimension

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off and fully depressurize the water supply before cutting into the existing line. A manufacturer-compatible press tool with the correct jaw size is required to make a proper press connection. Do not attempt to press-connect without verifying the pipe is dry and free of debris at the joint area.
