Hello, I believe you have 1/4" pipe if the OD is .375". This would be the correct fitting.
The run is 3" x 2". Tees are listed run x run x bull.
It is designed to fit over 1-1/4" copper pipe (which has an OD of 1-3/8"). The exact ID of the fitting is between 1.378" and 1.382".
It's going to be slightly larger than 1-3/8", since that's the O.D. of 1-1/4" copper tubing.
The OD of 1-1/4" copper tubing.
The ID of the tee is the same as the outside dia of 1 1/4 copper pipe, which it is made to be used with.
Yes, they are. All wrought copper fittings are 99.99% pure copper and do not contain any lead.
I think so, but cannot say 100% for sure but since your suppose to use lead free solder on the connections to prevent lead from contaminating the water it makes sense that the copper would be lead free too.
If you sweat them with lead-free solder.
read the description provided by pex team, likely that it is lead free as most manufacturers have switched.
As far as I know they stopped using lead in all copper fittings years ago.
Yes, they are lead free. Copper fittings are always lead free. These made of plain copper. To contain lead material has to be a copper alloy like bronze or brass etc. Then lead can be added to composition, but not necessarily.
That's a good question. To my knowledge they are pure copper. To be fair, I've not heard of lead/copper fittings. Sent from my iPhone
They are 100 percent copper. Make sure you use lead free silver solder for potable water applications. Sent from mobile....
Could not find a spec that states that. According to Cello's website they meet all requirements and are made from the highest quality materials.
I do not claim to be an expert on the topic of lead, nor do I have a full understanding of lead regulations! That said; it is my understanding that copper formed fittings were never in question, and do not contain lead; it is the brass formed fittings that contain various amounts of lead, and prompted the lead free certification. Only the distributor or manufacturer can identify if this is Certified Lead Free in compliance with the regulation. Suggest you contact Pex Supply directly (they are great over the phone) and ask; if this is important to your installation. You should note that the importance of using lead free fittings regards potable water piping, to prevent human consumption of the lead. When used on the closed loop heating system piping, any lead would be of no health consequence. With a properly piped hot water heating system, a back-flow preventer ensures that the heating fluid cannot get into (back up into) the drinking water, (if it ever did, the health concerns would be many, not only the possibility of lead, but also system antifreeze, anti corrosion chemicals, and most certainly bacteria).

yes
1/2" copper coupler fittings are for 1/2" copper tube. Copper tube is ID designated, so 1/2" copper tube uses 1/2" copper fittings.
Type L, M, K all are same outside dimensions, thus copper fittings will fit..
Yes Sent from my iPhone
1/2" cop ftgs fit 1/2" cop pipe. 5/8" cop ftgs fit 5/8" copper pipe. 5/8" is usually used on refridgeration systems.
I used these with M hard copper.
All copper is the same size, it's the ID that changes with type. Sent from my iPhone
Yes - 1/2" Fittings fit 1/2" M and L copper, which is actually 0.625" O.D. and 0.569" I.D.
You don't need to worry about OD and ID. ½" fittings fit ½" pipe regardless. The same is true of other sizes. I have never heard of 5/8" fittings (the next size up is ¾"), so I doubt you would ever find those anyway.
It will fit over M type copper the same as L type. This is due to the fact that increase of wall thinkness of this pipe actually makes inside diameter bit smaller than 1/2, not the outside diameter.
No, the pipes will fit inside of the ports on the tee for soldering.
WPT-08 tees work with copper that has a 5/8" outside diameter (known as 1/2" copper when used for plumbing or heating). 1/2" refrigeration copper has a 1/2" OD, so you would need to use a WPT-06 fitting (aka WPT-06A).
These tees will not work with 1/2" refrigeration tubing Sent from my iPhone
Answer: It will not work because a 1/2" copper tee is for 5/8" OD pipe.
no, these fittings are for 5/8 OD water pipe
Simple Answer NO: Details of why: Copper for water does NOT have the same size designation as copper for Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (ACR) 1/2" copper for water has a 5/8" outer diameter (OD) 1/2" copper for ACR has a 1/2" OD You would need 5/8" ACR tubing to be able to use a 1/2"x1/2"x1/2" copper water T Additional details can be found at this url http://www.sizes.com/materls/pipeCopper.htm
No you have to use 5/8 od tubing John Rush Evolo Home Center Evolo Energy Solutions www.evolohomecenter.com www.evoloenergysolutions.com Sent from my U.S. Cellular® Android phone
Thes fittings are for 1/2" copper pipe which is 5/8" OD. You want a 3/8" tee or 1/2" ACR tee. Eric EZ does IT
Hi, No you cannot use 1/2" O.D. but you can use 5/8" O. D. copper ref. tubing, because the 1/2" copper "T" is 5/8 O.D>
No it will not work with 1/2" OD tubing, it will fit regular 1/2 copper which is 5/8" OD
the t's will only work with copper pipe, which is 5/8 OD. You can purchase t's for 1/2 OD tubing, or purchase reducing fittings to make the transistion from 1/2 OD to 5/8 OD.
if there is movement then time may deform the part. If you soldered peices in side it will make it stronger. This part will hold a lot of dead weight for a long time. A least 20 lbs. And up to a 100 if reinforced with pipe soldered in place Hope this helps
I would not trust it for that. Copper is not a strong material It might work, but a steel tee would be much better.
The 8" tee (part WPT-99) weighs 33 pounds.
1/8" tees have a 1/4" inside diameter. You'd want to use part WPT-02.
