Nibco Inc 9098851PCU Press Tee 3/4x1/2x3/4 Inch

Product Description

The NIBCO INC 9098851PCU is a lead-free copper press tee fitting designed to create a branch connection within a continuous pipeline. Sized at 3/4 inch by 1/2 inch by 3/4 inch, it allows a plumber or pipefitter to tap off a main run and redirect flow to a secondary branch without soldering. Press-style fittings use a jaw-and-ring crimping tool to create a watertight mechanical connection, making them a fast, reliable choice in occupied buildings or spaces where open flame is restricted. This fitting ships in a package quantity of 10 units.

This tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where copper press systems are specified. Typical applications include domestic water distribution, branch supply runs to fixtures, and retrofit work in existing copper piping systems. The lead-free construction meets regulatory requirements for potable water service. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters using a compatible press tool and the correct jaw size for the pipe diameter.
