Reducing Tee Herz 20 x 20 x 16 mm press-fit P722008

Herz reducing tee 20 x 20 x 16 mm press-fit P722008 is a press-fit plumbing fitting designed to join three copper or compatible pipes with a diameter reduction on one branch. The fitting provides a solder-free connection using a press system intended for heating, plumbing and potable water installations where secure, leak-resistant joints and fast assembly are required. Manufactured by Herz to match standard press tools and rings, this reducing tee supports straightforward integration into residential and commercial piping networks.

Advantages

The press-fit design eliminates the need for soldering, open flame and flux, reducing installation time and safety risks. A precision-formed body and factory-applied press contours ensure uniform deformation when pressed, creating a consistent, watertight connection. Compatibility with common press tools and seals allows predictable performance in heating and potable water systems. The reduced branch supports changes in flow or pipe sizing without additional adapters.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial heating systems
• Plumbing and potable water distribution
• Renovation projects where soldering is impractical
• Installations requiring a reduced branch connection

Key specifications

• Material suitable for use with copper and compatible press-fit piping
• Press-fit connection type for secure, solder-free joints
• Branch dimensions: two runs at 20 mm and one reduced branch at 16 mm
• Designed for heating, plumbing and potable water applications
• Compatible with standard press tools and sealing rings

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting square and removing burrs and debris. Slide the appropriate sealing element or press sleeve onto each pipe end according to the press system manufacturer’s instructions. Insert pipes fully into the fitting until they reach the internal stop, then position the press tool over the designated press contours and perform the crimp or press cycle following the tool maker’s guidance. Verify each press visually and, where applicable, by using the tool’s confirmation indicators. After pressing, test the system for leaks in accordance with local codes and project requirements.

Usage recommendations

Use only press tools, jaws and sealing rings specified for the press system in use. Ensure compatibility of pipe material and dimensions before installation. Carry out pressure testing after installation and follow local standards for potable water and heating system commissioning.
