Nibco Inc W01610C Copper Solder Tee 0.25 Inches Cxcxc

Product Description

The NIBCO INC W01610C is a 1/4-inch CxCxC copper solder tee fitting designed for use in small-diameter copper tubing systems. It features three solder cups that allow a licensed plumber or pipefitter to join a continuous run of tubing while branching off in a perpendicular direction. The fitting is lead-free, meeting current potable water installation requirements. At 0.68 pounds per unit, it is a compact, standard-weight fitting suited for tight spaces and close-quarters rough-in work where a branch connection is needed in a small-bore line.

This tee fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where 1/4-inch copper tubing is present. Typical applications include refrigerator water supply lines, icemaker connections, water purification system supply runs, and similar small-bore service lines. It is installed by plumbers and HVAC/R technicians who routinely sweat copper fittings. The unit-of-measure is each, and the fitting is available packaged in quantities of 25.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line completely before cutting into the existing pipe. All three ports require proper flux application and soldering with lead-free solder to achieve a leak-free joint. Avoid overheating the fitting during the sweat process, as excessive heat can damage the fitting and compromise joint integrity.
