Value Collection BDNA-15878 Wrot Copper Tee 1/2 in Cxcxc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA-15878 is a wrot copper pipe tee fitting used to create a branch connection in a copper water or fluid distribution system. The fitting measures 1/2 inch on all three ports and uses a solder-cup end connection on each run and branch outlet, designated as C x C x C. Wrot copper is wrought and worked copper, offering higher density and strength than cast copper fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, remodel, or repair work on residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

This tee fitting is suited for 1/2-inch copper tubing installations where a branch line must be taken off a main run. Common applications include domestic hot and cold water supply lines, hydronic heating branch takeoffs, and similar low-pressure fluid piping. The solder-cup connections are compatible with standard 1/2-inch Type L and Type M copper tubing. Proper sweat-soldering technique is required at all three joints to achieve a leak-free connection.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2-inch copper tubing plumbing systems using solder-cup connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and drain the water supply completely before cutting into any existing line. Clean all pipe ends and fitting cups thoroughly with emery cloth or a pipe-cleaning brush, and apply flux before soldering. Do not apply excessive heat to the fitting body, as overheating can damage the copper and result in a weak joint.
