KAN-therm reducing tee PP 50×32×50 mm, model 04105052

The KAN-therm reducing tee PP 50×32×50 mm (model 04105052) is a polypropylene (PP) fitting intended for use in water and heating piping systems. It connects two 50 mm runs with a reduced 32 mm branch, providing a corrosion-resistant and lightweight joint for distribution, repair or retrofit work in residential and commercial installations. The fitting is compatible with systems that accept polypropylene components and is designed for reliable fluid flow and mechanical stability under normal operating conditions.

Advantages

This polypropylene reducing tee offers chemical and corrosion resistance, low weight for easier handling during installation, and a smooth internal surface that reduces pressure losses and minimizes scale buildup. Its standardized dimensions ensure compatibility with common PP piping and connecting techniques used in modern plumbing and heating systems. The fitting requires no special surface protection and is suitable for concealed or exposed installations where polypropylene components are recommended.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water distribution
• Heating system manifolds and branch connections
• Repair and retrofit of existing polypropylene piping runs
• Applications requiring a reduction from 50 mm to 32 mm pipe diameter

Key specifications

• Material: Polypropylene (PP)
• Configuration: Reducing tee with two equal ends and one reduced branch
• Dimensions: 50 mm × 32 mm × 50 mm (nominal pipe diameters)
• Typical use: Water and heating installations
• Properties: Corrosion-resistant, lightweight, smooth internal bore

How to use

Prepare the mating pipe ends by cutting squarely and removing burrs or debris. Ensure pipes and fitting are clean and dry before joining. Install the reducing tee using the recommended joining method for polypropylene in your system (e.g., solvent welding, heat fusion, or compatible mechanical fittings) following manufacturer's instructions for temperature, time and pressure. After joining, verify alignment and allow any required cooling or setting time before pressurizing the system. Perform pressure and leak tests in accordance with applicable standards and local regulations.

Usage recommendations

Use this KAN-therm PP reducing tee within the temperature and pressure limits specified for the polypropylene piping system in use. Select compatible joining methods and accessories designed for PP materials, and follow local codes and installation best practices. For concealed installations, ensure accessibility and appropriate protection where mechanical stress or thermal expansion may occur.
