Nibco Inc T00280L Brass Slip Union 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The NIBCO INC T00280L is a 1/2 inch brass slip union designed to transition between copper or brass tube and CPVC piping. It provides a secure, removable connection point in a piping system, allowing a technician to break the line for service, repair, or section replacement without cutting pipe. The lead-free brass construction meets current plumbing code requirements for potable water applications. This fitting is sold in a package of 10 units, making it practical for jobs requiring multiple transition points or for restocking a service van.

This union is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where copper or brass tubing connects to a CPVC run. Typical applications include water supply lines, branch connections, and service loops where future disassembly access is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during rough-in or retrofit work on domestic water systems.

Key Features

• Transitions between copper or brass tube and CPVC piping in a single fitting
• Slip connection on both ends for standard solvent or solder joining
• Union design permits disassembly without cutting pipe for easier servicing
• Lead-free brass construction for compliance with potable water regulations
• Sold in a package of 10 units

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch copper, brass, or CPVC tubing in residential and commercial domestic water supply systems. Verify local code acceptance of copper-to-CPVC transitions before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Copper slip ends are joined by soldering; follow standard brazing and flux procedures and allow joints to cool fully before pressurizing. The CPVC slip end requires the appropriate CPVC solvent cement rated for the service conditions.
