Conex copper reducing tee series 5000 35 x 22 x 35 mm

The Conex copper reducing tee series 5000 35 x 22 x 35 mm is a solid-copper plumbing fitting designed to join three pipe runs where a reduced branch is required. It provides a transition from 35 mm mains to a 22 mm branch and is intended for use in potable water and heating systems. The fitting’s copper construction offers corrosion resistance and is suitable for producing fluid-tight joints when installed with appropriate soldering or brazing techniques.

Advantages

This Conex reducing tee is manufactured from solid copper to ensure long-term durability and resistance to corrosion in wet systems. Its reducing design allows easy connection between differing pipe diameters without additional adapters. The symmetrical 35 x 22 x 35 mm configuration simplifies layout planning and reduces the number of fittings required. The part is compatible with standard copper pipe joining methods and provides reliable performance in domestic and commercial plumbing and heating applications.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution networks
• Domestic and commercial heating systems
• Branching supply lines where a 22 mm outlet is needed from 35 mm mains
• Retrofit and new-build plumbing installations

Key specifications

• Material: solid copper
• Configuration: reducing tee with branch diameter reduced relative to mains
• Dimensions: main run 35 mm × branch 22 mm × opposite run 35 mm
• Application temperature range: suitable for typical potable water and heating temperatures (installation method and system limits determine exact range)
• Joining methods: suitable for soldering or brazing to copper pipe

How to use

Prepare copper pipes by cutting to length, deburring, and cleaning the joint surfaces to ensure proper solder or brazed connections. Position the reducing tee onto the prepared pipes with the 22 mm branch aligned to the run requiring the reduced outlet. Apply appropriate flux and heat the joint uniformly to achieve a complete capillary flow of solder or use suitable brazing practice per project specifications. Allow joints to cool and inspect for continuity and leak tightness before placing the system into service.

Usage recommendations

Ensure installation follows local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidelines. Use compatible solder or brazing filler materials and proper flux for copper systems. Where required, test the completed system under pressure to verify leak-free performance. For applications with special temperature or chemical exposure, confirm material compatibility prior to installation.
