Victaulic CD20622CE0 Mechanical Tee 4x3/4 Inch Fnpt

Product Description

The VICTAULIC COMPANY CD20622CE0 is a mechanical-T bolted branch outlet fitting designed for tapping into an existing run pipe without cutting or welding. Built to Style 622 specifications, it features a cast bronze upper body and ductile iron lower body with a copper-colored alkyd enamel coating. The fitting uses female NPT (FNPT) connections on both the run and branch ports, accommodating a 4-inch run pipe with a 3/4-inch branch outlet. Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting is suited for plumbing, fire protection, and industrial piping applications where a reliable mechanical branch connection is required.

This bolted branch outlet is intended for use in commercial and industrial piping systems where hot-tapping or branch connections must be made to existing copper or compatible metallic pipe runs. The Grade E gasket provides a secure seal at the branch interface. The 1-1/2-inch hole diameter accommodates standard branch drilling requirements, and the included 1/2 x 3-inch bolt and nut hardware ensures proper clamping torque without additional fastener sourcing. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit service scenarios.

Compatibility

Designed as a Style 622 OEM-style mechanical tee branch outlet for 4-inch run pipe with a 3/4-inch FNPT branch connection in copper and compatible metallic piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and ANSI/NSF 61 requirements where potable water systems are involved. Depressurize and isolate the pipe section before drilling the required 1-1/2-inch branch hole and seating the fitting. Verify that the run pipe surface is clean and free of burrs before seating the gasket to ensure a proper seal. Follow the manufacturer torque sequence for the bolt and nut hardware to achieve even gasket compression.
