NUVO Lighting TP149 T-Connector, T-Joiner, Traditional Style, Black Finish

Yes, it's a 120V line-voltage fitting and carries a cETLus safety listing. It is not intended for low-voltage 12V or 24V track systems.

No. The TP149 is rated for dry locations only, so it should stay indoors and away from damp or wet areas. Covered porches, soffits, and shower-area ceilings typically call for damp- or wet-rated equipment, so this fitting is the wrong choice there. Standard interior ceilings in offices, retail, apartments, and corridors are what it is meant for.

Plan for a 4 inch extension where the connector sits, and a 0.5 inch height with a 1.25 inch width. That 4 inches matters when you are cutting track to a wall-to-wall dimension, because the branch leg and the main run each lose room to the fitting. The half-inch profile keeps it close to the ceiling so it does not stand out against the track it joins.

Black is the only finish offered on the TP149, in NUVO's traditional-style track profile. If your installed track and heads are white or brushed nickel, the connector will read as a dark break at the joint, so match the finish family before ordering for a visible ceiling.

The body is plastic, which keeps the fitting light on the ceiling plane and non-conductive at the housing. For high-abuse or high-traffic commercial spaces where fittings get knocked by ladders and lifts, that is worth knowing when you decide how many spares to keep on the shelf.

Yes. The TP149 is listed as containing lead under California Proposition 65, so institutional and public-agency buyers ordering into California should carry that disclosure through their submittal and procurement paperwork.
