Nibco Inc W01740T Copper Solder Tee 1x1x1/2 Cxcxc

Product Description

The NIBCO INC W01740T is a lead-free copper solder tee fitting designed for use in continuous water supply and distribution piping systems. Sized at 1 x 1 x 1/2 inches with a CxCxC (copper by copper by copper) end configuration, this fitting accepts soldered connections on all three ports. The solder cup design allows a licensed plumber to branch a 1/2-inch line off a 1-inch main run without interrupting flow continuity. It meets lead-free standards applicable to potable water installations, making it suitable for use anywhere drinking water compliance is required.

This tee is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a branch connection must be made within a copper pipeline. Typical applications include domestic hot and cold water distribution, branch lines to fixtures, and similar in-wall or mechanical-room copper piping configurations. The reduced branch outlet accommodates a 1/2-inch service line while the 1-inch run-through ports maintain the main line diameter. It is sold in packages of 5 units.

Key Features

• Lead-free construction meets potable water installation requirements
• CxCxC end connections accept standard sweat solder joints on all three ports
• 1 x 1 x 1/2-inch configuration allows a reduced branch off a full 1-inch main run

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for copper sweat-joint plumbing systems requiring a tee connection with a reduced branch outlet.

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 drain the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Clean and flux all mating surfaces before applying heat; overheating the fitting can damage the solder joint and compromise the connection. Allow the joint to cool fully before restoring water pressure.
