KAN-therm reducing tee PP 50x40x50 mm 04105053

The KAN-therm reducing tee PP 50x40x50 mm is a polypropylene fitting designed for connecting three pipes where the central branch has a reduced diameter. It provides a compact transition between two 50 mm runs and a 40 mm branch suitable for plumbing and heating networks built with PP components. The fitting exhibits the chemical resistance and corrosion-free properties of polypropylene, making it appropriate for systems that require durable, non-metallic connections.

Advantages

This reducing tee is manufactured from polypropylene, ensuring resistance to common chemicals and protection against corrosion. Its molded geometry delivers a smooth internal flow path to minimize pressure loss and turbulence at the junction. The precise dimensions facilitate reliable joining with compatible PP pipes and reduce the need for additional adapters. The component is lightweight, easy to handle during installation, and stable under normal system temperatures for polypropylene fittings.

Suitable for

• Plumbing distribution and branch connections in domestic or commercial buildings
• Heating systems using polypropylene pipework
• Applications requiring a reduction from 50 mm to 40 mm pipe diameter
• Non-corrosive chemical transfer where PP compatibility is required

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Configuration: reducing tee with central reduced branch
• Dimensions: main run Ø 50 mm, branch Ø 40 mm
• Connection type: slip/socket for compatible PP pipe joining (verify system-specific joining method)
• Typical properties: chemical resistance, corrosion-free operation, lightweight construction

How to use

Select the KAN-therm reducing tee PP 50x40x50 mm when a run-to-branch transition is required between 50 mm and 40 mm polypropylene pipes. Prepare pipe ends according to the chosen joining method for the system (e.g., socket fusion, solvent weld or mechanical joint if applicable). Ensure mating surfaces are clean and cut square to achieve an even fit. Assemble the fitting following manufacturer-recommended procedures and allow any fusion or adhesive joints to cure per the specified times before pressurizing the system. Verify alignment and support to prevent strain on the junction during operation.

Usage recommendations

Confirm compatibility of the fitting with the specific KAN-therm PP piping system and the intended joining technique. Follow applicable local standards and installation guidelines for polypropylene pressure pipe systems, and observe temperature and pressure limits for PP components. Consider providing appropriate mechanical supports and thermal expansion allowances in the installation to maintain long-term integrity.
