Nibco PCH611112 1-1/2 Inch Copper Press Tee Fitting

Product Description

The NIBCO PCH611112 is a 1-1/2 inch copper press tee fitting designed for use in gas and compressed air piping systems. It uses a press-style connection method to join seamless copper water tube without open flame, making installation faster than traditional solder fittings. A unique witness mark becomes visible after the connection is properly crimped, confirming a complete and secure joint. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in both residential and commercial applications. The fitting can also be installed in underground piping configurations where applicable installation standards are met.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial systems carrying gas or compressed air through copper tubing. The press connection eliminates the need for soldering or brazing, reducing labor time and minimizing fire risk on the job site. It is appropriate for new construction and retrofit work where copper tubing systems are being assembled or extended. Underground installation is permitted, giving installers flexibility in routing piping through slabs or buried runs.
