KAN-therm Reducing Tee PP 90x50x90 mm, model 04105090

The KAN-therm Reducing Tee PP 90x50x90 mm (model 04105090) is a polypropylene tee fitting designed to join three pipes where one branch reduces diameter from 90 mm to 50 mm while maintaining two 90 mm runs. Constructed from durable polypropylene, this reducing tee is intended for potable water, heating and general plumbing installations that require a lightweight, corrosion-resistant transition fitting for diverting flow or connecting pipes of different diameters.

Advantages

This reducing tee offers chemical and corrosion resistance typical of polypropylene, ensuring long service life in non-aggressive water and heating media. Its molded geometry provides a smooth internal flow path to minimise turbulence and pressure loss at the reduction point. The fitting is lightweight compared with metal alternatives, simplifying handling and installation, and it is suitable for systems where plastic components are preferred for maintenance and longevity.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water distribution
• Hydronic heating systems and radiator branches
• Plumbing installations requiring diameter transition from 90 mm to 50 mm
• Systems where corrosion resistance and low weight are required

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Configuration: reducing tee with one reduced branch
• Dimensions: 90 mm × 50 mm × 90 mm (two runs at 90 mm, branch at 50 mm)
• Application: suitable for potable water and heating systems
• Flow characteristic: smooth internal profile to reduce turbulence at the reduction

How to use

Install the reducing tee by preparing and cutting pipes to the correct lengths, ensuring clean, square ends. Join the pipes to the fitting following the system’s connection method compatible with polypropylene components (e.g., socket welding, mechanical couplings or manufacturer-recommended joining technique). Verify alignment and support the pipeline to avoid stress on the fitting. After installation, perform pressure and leak tests in accordance with local codes and system requirements before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate clamps or supports to prevent mechanical strain on the tee and maintain correct pipe slope for drainage where applicable. Avoid exposure to open flames or operating temperatures and pressures beyond the limits of polypropylene; consult system specifications for compatibility with media and temperature ranges.
