Nibco PREST2 Copper Press Tee 2 Inches P X P X P

Product Description

The NIBCO PREST2 is a 2-inch copper press tee configured in a P x P x P (press by press by press) end connection pattern. It is designed for use in hydronic, potable water, and general plumbing distribution systems where solderless joining is required. The press fitting design allows technicians to make secure, leak-resistant connections without open flame, making it suitable for occupied buildings or areas where torch work is restricted. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors install this fitting as part of copper piping assemblies in new construction and retrofit applications.

This tee is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic systems. The press-style connection is compatible with standard press tooling and sealing elements used for copper press systems. It is suited for branch line installations where a 2-inch main run requires a tapped branch of equal size. Typical applications include domestic hot and cold water distribution, heating system piping, and radiant or fan-coil loop headers.

Key Features

• Solderless press connection eliminates open-flame torch work on the job site
• P x P x P configuration provides equal-size branch tee connections on all three ports
• 2-inch nominal size suits main distribution lines in residential and light commercial systems
• Copper construction provides corrosion resistance in potable water and hydronic applications
• Compatible with standard press jaw tooling for copper fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation copper press tee for 2-inch copper piping systems using press-style end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a calibrated press tool with the appropriate copper press jaw set; consult the tool and fitting manufacturer guidelines before proceeding. Shut off and depressurize the water or hydronic system and drain the affected section before pressing fittings. Verify that the pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and fully inserted to the depth mark before pressing. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and standards such as the IPC or UPC.
