Copper tee for potable-water systems

This NIBCO 712 tee connects two 1/2 inch copper tubes on the run and a 3/4 inch female NPT branch, all in cast bronze rated for potable water. It is intended for plumbers and DIY installers who need a sweat-to-threaded transition in a single fitting.

Sweats onto 5/8 in OD tube and threads to 3/4 in NPT

Each cup end slides over 5/8 inch outer-diameter copper tube for soldering, while the branch accepts standard 3/4 inch NPT male threads. The design eliminates a separate reducer and adapter, saving joints and installation time on supply-line tees.

Rated to 577 psi and 200 °F

The bronze body withstands a maximum operating pressure of 577 psi and a maximum operating temperature of 200 °F, covering typical residential hot- and cold-water conditions. No moving parts means silent operation and no additional power draw.

Questions about this item

How much pressure can the bronze tee handle before it becomes a concern?

The fitting is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 577 psi, so sustained use beyond that level is the first limit you will reach.

Will the tee get too hot or noisy if water runs through it all day?

Continuous flow at temperatures up to 200 °F is within the rated maximum operating temperature, and the bronze body produces no mechanical noise.

What pipe and tools do I need to have on hand before installing this tee?

You need 1/2 in copper tube with 5/8 in outer diameter for the two sweat ends and a 3/4 in FNPT threaded connection for the branch, plus soldering supplies for the cup joints.
