Compression equal tee Conex GGG1020601EQ — brass, 22x22x22 mm

Conex compression equal tee GGG1020601EQ is a brass plumbing fitting with three 22x22x22 mm compression connections designed to form a straight branch in metal or plastic pipe systems. The tee is intended for compression joints and creates a sealed connection without the need for soldering or adhesives. It is suitable for potable water supply, heating circuits and general plumbing installations where a reliable 22 mm three-way junction is required.

Advantages

The brass construction offers corrosion resistance and mechanical strength appropriate for domestic and light commercial installations. Compression connections allow for a quick, tool-based assembly that can be used on copper, stainless steel or compatible plastic pipes. The equal-branch design ensures uniform diameters throughout the junction, helping to maintain system flow characteristics and simplify layout planning.

Suitable for

• Domestic potable water distribution with 22 mm piping
• Heating systems and radiators using 22 mm lines
• Repair and modification of existing metal or compatible plastic pipework
• Plumbing installations where solder-free connections are preferred

When it may not be suitable

This compression equal tee is intended for use with 22 mm pipes; it should not be used where different diameters are required or where threaded, welded or push-fit connections are specified. It is not designed for applications involving aggressive chemicals or fluids outside typical potable water and heating media. For systems operating at pressures or temperatures beyond standard plumbing ranges, verify compatibility with the system requirements before installation.

Key specifications

• Material: brass (corrosion-resistant plumbing grade)
• Connection type: compression joints
• Dimensions: 22 x 22 x 22 mm (three equal ends)
• Application: potable water, heating and general plumbing
• Flow configuration: equal tee (straight branch, same diameter)

How to use

Prepare each pipe end by cutting square and deburring the inside and outside faces. Slide the compression nut and ferrule onto the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the tee socket and hand-tighten the nut. Use an appropriate wrench to tighten the compression nut to the torque recommended by the pipe and fitting manufacturers, ensuring a firm seal without over-tightening. After assembly, test the system under working pressure to confirm there are no leaks before restoring normal service.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm pipe outer diameter is 22 mm and material compatibility with compression fittings
• Verify system operating pressure and temperature are within standard plumbing limits
• Check whether a soldered, threaded or push-fit alternative is preferred for your installation

Usage recommendations

Use proper cutting and deburring tools to ensure square pipe ends and consistent ferrule seating. When tightening compression nuts, follow manufacturer torque guidance and perform a pressure test after installation. For long runs or concealed installations, consider accessibility for future maintenance and ensure water quality is suitable for brass components.
