Nibco Inc W01640T 1/2 Inch Cxcxc Copper Solder Tee

Product Description

The NIBCO INC W01640T is a 1/2-inch CxCxC (copper by copper by copper) solder-joint tee fitting designed for use in continuous copper pipelines where a branch connection is required. All three ports feature solder cups for sweat connections, providing a reliable, permanent joint when properly brazed or soldered. The fitting is lead-free, meeting the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act for potable water applications. This is a standard plumbing rough-in component installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in residential and light commercial water distribution systems.

The W01640T is used wherever a 1/2-inch copper pipeline requires a branch takeoff in a new or retrofit installation. Typical applications include domestic hot and cold water supply lines, hydronic heating branch circuits, and other closed-loop copper piping systems. The three-socket solder-cup design allows the installer to tie into a main run while simultaneously routing flow in a third direction. This fitting is sold in a package quantity of 50 units, making it suitable for larger rough-in jobs or distributor stocking.

Key Features

• Lead-free construction meets Safe Drinking Water Act compliance for potable water use
• Three solder-cup ports (CxCxC) for sweat-soldered or brazed copper connections
• Allows branch connection off a continuous pipeline run without interrupting main flow path
• Designed to NIBCO U611 product standard
• Packaged 50 units per package for efficient job-site or stocking use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fitting for 1/2-inch copper tube solder-joint piping systems in residential and light commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the water supply and drain the line fully before cutting into any existing piping. Tube ends and fitting sockets must be cleaned, deburred, and fluxed prior to soldering or brazing to ensure a sound joint. Do not apply heat to a fitting that contains water, and allow joints to cool completely before restoring pressure.
