Bronze Sweat Tee for Potable Water

The Nibco 714-LF is a cast bronze sweat fitting tee designed for potable water lines. It connects two 1/2 in copper tubes via sweat cups and a 1/2 in FNPT branch. This configuration suits plumbers joining threaded components to copper pipe runs.

Pressure and Temperature Limits

The fitting carries a maximum operating pressure of 577 psi and a maximum operating temperature of 200 Degrees F. These ratings define the safe envelope for hot and cold water distribution. Installers must ensure system conditions stay within both limits.

Cast Bronze Body with Mixed Connections

The cast bronze construction resists corrosion in potable water service. Two sweat cup ends require soldering to 5/8 in outer diameter copper tube. The central FNPT branch accepts standard 1/2 in male pipe threads for valves or instruments.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the different connection types on this tee?

This tee has two 1/2 in copper cup ends and a 1/2 in FNPT threaded branch; select it when you need to join two copper tubes and add a threaded outlet in one fitting.

What does the 577 psi rating mean once the fitting is installed?

The 577 psi maximum operating pressure is the highest pressure the bronze body can safely handle at its rated temperature; system pressure must stay below this value.

What standard governs the sweat cup connections and what does it limit?

The cup ends follow copper tube size 1/2 in (5/8 in OD) sweat-joint practice, limiting use to compatible copper tubing and soldered joints rated for 577 psi at 200 °F.
