Purpose and Audience

The Nibco 712LF-12 tee trap connects copper tubing to a female pipe thread in plumbing systems. It suits installers and maintenance teams working on potable water lines where low-lead compliance is required.

Build and Connections

The body is low-lead cast bronze rated for 577 psi and a temperature range of -20 to 200 degrees F. Its C x C x FNPT layout joins two 5/8 inch outside-diameter copper tubes and one 1/2 inch female pipe thread without extra adapters.

Upgrade Context

This fitting replaces standard bronze tees that do not meet NSF/ANSI 61 Annex G low-lead rules. The jump is warranted when codes or project specs mandate certified low-lead components for drinking water service.

Questions about this item

What pressure does the NSF/ANSI 61 Annex G rated tee handle?

The low-lead cast bronze tee is rated for a maximum working pressure of 577 psi across its operating temperature range.

What tube and pipe sizes does the C x C x FNPT tee accommodate?

It accepts 1/2 in tube on the two sweat ends and a 1/2 in female NPT thread on the branch, with a 5/8 in outside diameter on each sweat connection.

How is the tee joined, and what step is often missed?

Clean and flux the 5/8 in tube ends, sweat the two C connections first, then thread the FNPT branch; the common mistake is threading the branch before soldering, which can warp the threads.
