Nibco Inc T00160D Cpvc Tee 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The NIBCO INC T00160D is a 1/2-inch CPVC tee fitting used in hot and cold water distribution piping systems. This equal tee provides a branch connection at 90 degrees from the main run, allowing a single supply line to split or a branch line to be added without cutting into a separate coupling. CPVC construction makes it suitable for both hot and cold potable water lines where higher temperature resistance is required compared to standard PVC. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in residential and light commercial applications.

This fitting is suited for 1/2-inch CPVC piping systems commonly found in residential water supply lines, multi-family housing, and light commercial plumbing. It is typically installed where a branch connection is needed off a main run, such as feeding a fixture branch from a distribution trunk line. The CPVC material rating makes it appropriate for hot water supply lines in addition to cold water service, making it a versatile choice across a range of potable water plumbing layouts.

Key Features

• CPVC construction provides higher temperature resistance than standard PVC fittings
• Equal tee configuration allows a 90-degree branch off the main run in a single fitting
• 1/2-inch socket connections on all three ports for solvent-cement joining
• Sized for compatibility with standard 1/2-inch CPVC pipe and tubing
• Lightweight fitting suitable for overhead and wall-cavity installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 1/2-inch CPVC potable water piping systems using solvent-cement joints.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into existing piping. Use a CPVC-rated solvent cement and primer as specified by the pipe and fitting manufacturer, and allow full cure time before restoring pressure. Do not use this fitting with PVC solvent cement alone or with pipe materials other than CPVC.
