Copper tee Conex series 5000 15 mm

Conex series 5000 copper tee with a 15 mm connection diameter is a plumbing and heating fitting designed to branch a 15 mm copper pipe into two directions. Manufactured from copper to meet the demands of potable water, heating circuits and refrigeration lines, this tee supports reliable soldered or press-fit connections where 15 mm copper pipework is in use. The compact, three-port design enables straightforward integration into existing copper systems and provides corrosion-resistant performance typical of copper fittings.

Advantages

The Conex copper tee offers long-lasting corrosion resistance and stable mechanical strength due to its copper construction. Its 15 mm diameter ports are compatible with standard 15 mm copper tubing, allowing secure soldered joints or press-fit installations depending on the chosen assembly method. The tee's geometry ensures even flow distribution between the branch and main run, while the solid copper material maintains suitability for potable water and heating applications.

Suitable for

• Branching 15 mm copper potable water supply lines
• Creating branches in residential or commercial heating circuits using 15 mm copper pipe
• Extending or modifying refrigeration lines where 15 mm copper tubing is specified
• Repairing or upgrading existing copper pipe networks with a 15 mm branch

Key specifications

• Material: Copper
• Connection size: 15 mm nominal diameter
• Configuration: Three-port tee for one inlet and two outlets (or vice versa)
• Connection methods supported: Soldering (brazing) or press-fit depending on installer preference and compatible tooling
• Intended media: Potable water, heating fluids, refrigeration refrigerant lines where copper is appropriate
• Typical applications: Plumbing, heating and refrigeration systems with 15 mm copper pipework

How to use

Select the appropriate installation method for the project—soldered joints require proper fluxing, heating and filler alloy; press-fit installation requires matching press fittings and approved pressing tools and jaws. Prepare 15 mm copper pipe ends by cutting square, deburring and cleaning to ensure a leak-free joint. Assemble the tee onto the prepared pipe ends, then complete the connection by soldering or using a press tool according to manufacturers’ guidance and local plumbing codes. After installation, perform a pressure test or system fill to verify there are no leaks.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible 15 mm copper tubing and follow applicable regional plumbing standards. When soldering, ensure adequate ventilation and follow safety procedures for open-flame work. For press-fit installation, use certified pressing tools and regularly inspect press jaws for wear. Verify suitability with the system’s fluid and temperature requirements before installation.
