Nibco, Inc. 6112 1/2" Copper Tee C x FTG x C

SKU CH-RH9E-HSRKQ

A sweat-fitting tee with cup, FTG and cup connections for ½-inch copper tube in potable-water systems

  • Wrot copper construction resists corrosion
  • Sweat connections create permanent leak-free joints
  • Adapter tee shape joins three 1/2" lines
  • 5/8" tube OD fits standard copper pipe

1/2" Copper Sweat Tee for Potable Water

This Nibco 6112 tee joins three 1/2-inch copper tubes using sweat connections on the run and a fitting-end connection on the branch. The wrought copper body is rated for potable water systems. It provides a compact branch take-off in residential or light commercial plumbing.

Verify tube size and joint type before ordering

Confirm that the existing tubing measures 5/8 inch outer diameter, which corresponds to 1/2 inch nominal copper size. Ensure the installation calls for a C x FTG x C sweat tee rather than a press, push-fit or threaded alternative. Check local code requirements for potable water fittings in your jurisdiction.

Suits plumbers adding a branch on 1/2" copper lines

Ideal for installers who need a durable, code-compliant tee for sweat soldering on standard half-inch copper pipe. Not suitable for systems that require press-connect, compression or threaded joints. Buyers working with larger tube diameters or different fitting configurations should select a matching size and connection style.

Questions about this item

Does the NIBCO 6112 tee come with solder or flux in the box?

The fitting is supplied alone; solder and flux must be purchased separately for the sweat connections.

Are there different sizes of the 6112 tee, or is 1/2 inch the only option?

This model is a 1/2 inch nominal tee with 5/8 inch tube outer diameter on all three ends.

What does the C x FTG x C marking mean when I install the tee?

Two ends are cup sockets for copper tube and the centre branch is a fitting-end socket that slips over another fitting.
