Nibco PREST34 Copper Press Tee 3/4 Inch P X P X P

Product Description

The NIBCO PREST34 is a 3/4-inch copper press tee configured with three press-style end connections (P x P x P). It is designed for use in pressurized water distribution and hydronic piping systems where a branch takeoff is needed from a main run. The press-fit design eliminates open flame during installation, making it well suited for retrofit and new-construction work in occupied or fire-sensitive spaces. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of copper press systems using a compatible pressing tool and approved jaw set.

This tee is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing applications, including domestic cold and hot water distribution and hydronic heating piping. The P x P x P configuration means all three ports accept press-style connections, allowing the installer to make the run and branch connections without solder. It is typically used wherever a standard sweat tee would be specified, in situations where soldering is restricted or where faster installation is a priority.

Key Features

• Press-fit connections on all three ports eliminate the need for soldering or open flame
• 3/4-inch nominal size fits standard copper tube in that dimension
• P x P x P configuration provides full press connectivity at the run and branch
• Copper construction offers corrosion resistance suitable for potable water service
• Compatible with standard copper press tooling and jaw sets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fitting for 3/4-inch copper press piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the water supply and drain the line before making connections. A manufacturer-approved pressing tool with the correct jaw size is required to achieve a leak-free press joint. Do not use heat or solder in combination with press-fit ends.
