Copper reducing tee Conex series 5000 28 x 22 x 28 mm

Conex series 5000 copper reducing tee 28 x 22 x 28 mm is a machined plumbing fitting designed to join two parallel 28 mm pipe runs while providing a reduced 22 mm branch. Manufactured from copper, this reducing tee is intended for use in potable water distribution, central heating circuits and general plumbing repair where a change of pipe diameter and a T-connection are required. The product delivers a compact, corrosion-resistant joint that integrates with conventional soldering, brazing or approved mechanical joining methods for copper pipe systems.

Advantages

The Conex series 5000 reducing tee is machined from copper to provide dimensional accuracy and consistent internal flow characteristics. Its reduced branch facilitates transitions between pipe sizes without the need for multiple fittings, simplifying installations and repairs. Copper construction offers durability and compatibility with hot and cold water systems as well as central heating. The fitting's geometry supports reliable, low-profile connections that fit standard copper piping layouts.

Suitable for

• Hot and cold potable water distribution
• Central heating system pipework
• Domestic and commercial plumbing repair and alteration
• Size transitions where a 28 mm run requires a 22 mm branch

Key specifications

• Material: Copper
• Connection type: Reducing tee for soldering/brazing or approved copper joining methods
• Dimensions: 28 mm x 22 mm x 28 mm (run x branch x run)
• Application temperature: Suitable for hot and cold water and heating systems (subject to system design limits)
• Shape: T-shaped reducing fitting

How to use

Prepare mating pipe ends by cutting square and removing burrs, then clean and flux the fitting and pipes according to the joining method chosen. Insert pipes fully into the tee, maintain correct alignment, and complete the joint using an appropriate soldering or brazing procedure or another approved copper joining technique. Allow joints to cool and inspect visually for uniform fillets and secure seating. Pressure-test the assembled system in line with local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidance before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible copper pipe of the specified diameters and follow local plumbing standards for installation and pressure testing. Avoid mixing incompatible materials without appropriate transition fittings. For systems operating at elevated temperatures or pressures, verify material suitability and joining method with system specifications.
