Copper press tee Herz 20x2–3/4"–20x2 female thread, model 22P722052

Herz copper press tee with press-fit ends (20x2 mm) and a 3/4"–20x2 female threaded branch is a fitting for joining copper pipe runs where a threaded outlet is required. The part combines two press-fit inlets with a female threaded branch to allow direct connection of valves, meters or branch piping without soldering. It is intended for use in domestic and commercial heating, plumbing and hot-water distribution systems where a secure, leak-resistant mechanical connection is preferred.

Advantages

The press-fit ends provide a fast, solder-free assembly that reduces installation time and eliminates open flames. The combination of press connections with a female threaded branch offers flexibility for fitting valves and instruments directly to the tee. Constructed from copper, the fitting resists corrosion in typical potable water and heating environments and maintains stable mechanical strength under normal system pressures.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial heating pipework
• Hot-water distribution systems
• Plumbing installations requiring a threaded outlet for valves or meters
• Retrofit and new-build projects where press connections are preferred

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Press-fit connection size: 20 x 2 mm (two ends)
• Branch connection: female thread 3/4" with 20 x 2 press profile
• Connection type: press-fit for inlets and female thread for branch
• Application: heating, plumbing and hot-water systems

How to use

Prepare copper pipes by cutting to length, deburring and cleaning the outer surface at the press-fit locations. Assemble the pipes into the press-fit ends until the insertion depth is reached and then use a compatible pressing tool and jaw sized for 20 x 2 mm fittings to make the mechanical joint. Attach the valve, meter or threaded component to the female branch connection using appropriate thread sealant or tape where required by the installation practice. Follow local codes and manufacturer instructions for pressure testing after assembly.

Usage recommendations

Use only approved pressing tools and jaws matched to the 20 x 2 press profile and follow Herz installation guidelines. Verify material compatibility of any threaded components and apply the recommended pipe preparation steps to ensure reliable, leak-free joints.
