KAN-therm reducer tee PP 20x16x20 mm 04105020

The KAN-therm reducer tee PP 20x16x20 mm is a polypropylene (PP) fitting designed to create a reduced branch in plumbing and heating systems. The fitting connects two 20 mm lines with a 16 mm branch, providing a smooth transition between pipe sizes for distribution runs, potable water and central heating circuits. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for tight installation spaces and routine system layouts where a reduction in diameter is required.

Advantages

This reducer tee is manufactured from corrosion-resistant polypropylene, offering chemical stability and long service life in contact with potable water and heating fluids. The part ensures leak-resistant connections when installed with appropriate heat-fusion or compatible joining methods. Its dimensional conformity supports straightforward integration into existing KAN-therm and other compatible plastic piping systems, while the reduced branch allows controlled flow division and simplified routing in distribution manifolds.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water distribution
• Central heating and underfloor heating manifolds
• Pipe systems requiring a reduction from 20 mm to 16 mm
• Repair works and retrofits in confined installation spaces

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Connection layout: tee with reduced central branch
• Dimensions: main run 20 mm × branch 16 mm × main run 20 mm
• Application: potable water and heating systems
• Suitable for heat-fusion or compatible joining methods for PP pipe systems

How to use

Select the reducer tee according to the pipe material and diameter. Prepare pipe ends by cutting squarely and deburring to ensure flush contact. Use the recommended joining method for polypropylene fittings—such as socket fusion, electrofusion, or a manufacturer-approved adhesive—following tool and temperature specifications. Ensure proper alignment while cooling to maintain a leak-free joint. After assembly, perform a pressure test according to local codes and project requirements before placing the system into regular operation.

Usage recommendations

Store fittings in a dry, covered area away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. During installation, verify compatibility with the chosen pipe type and the system’s operating temperature and pressure ratings. Consult KAN-therm documentation or a qualified installer for specific fusion parameters and for ensuring compliance with local plumbing and heating standards.
