Copper Reducing Tee Conex series 5000 28 x 18 x 28 mm

Conex series 5000 copper reducing tee 28 x 18 x 28 mm is a three‑way plumbing fitting designed to create a branch in copper pipe systems while reducing the outlet size at the branch. Manufactured from copper to industry standards, this reducing tee is intended for potable water, heating and general plumbing installations where a reliable reduction in pipe diameter is required without compromising flow continuity in the main run.

Advantages

The Conex series 5000 reducing tee offers consistent dimensional accuracy and a corrosion‑resistant copper construction that is compatible with standard copper tube joining methods. Its reduced branch outlet enables smooth transition between different pipe sizes, helping to maintain system integrity and predictable hydraulic behaviour. The fitting is suitable for use in systems carrying potable water and heating fluids, and it is produced to provide reliable mechanical strength and service life under normal operating conditions.

Suitable for

• Creating a branch connection from 28 mm main pipe to an 18 mm branch
• Potable water distribution and cold water mains
• Domestic and commercial heating systems
• General copper plumbing installations and repairs

Key specifications

• Material: copper suitable for plumbing applications
• Configuration: reducing tee with equal run and reduced branch
• Dimensions: run Ø 28 mm, branch Ø 18 mm, run Ø 28 mm
• Connection method: designed for conventional copper tube joining techniques (soldering, brazing or compatible joining methods)
• Application fluids: potable water and heating fluids

How to use

Prepare copper tubes by cutting squarely and deburring the ends before fitting. Slide the tee onto the prepared tubes and perform the chosen joining method in accordance with applicable plumbing codes and manufacturer guidance for copper fittings. Ensure joints are clean and flux or filler materials are compatible with potable water systems if used. After installation, test the system at the required pressure to verify leak‑free joints and correct flow through the branch and main runs.

Usage recommendations

Use the Conex series 5000 reducing tee in installations that require a secure transition between 28 mm and 18 mm copper tubing. Confirm material compatibility with system fluids and follow local regulations for potable water and heating installations. Where soldering or brazing is used, ensure adequate ventilation and appropriate personal protective equipment. Pressure‑test the installation after cooling to the recommended test conditions.
