KAN-therm plumbing tee 32 mm – KAN-therm 04105132 polypropylene fitting

The KAN-therm plumbing tee 32 mm is a polypropylene three-way fitting designed for 32 mm piping systems used in heating, potable water and general plumbing installations. The fitting allows creation of perpendicular or inline branches, providing a corrosion-free, chemically resistant connection typical for polypropylene (PP) components. It is intended for use where durable, low-maintenance branching of plastic pipe networks is required.

Advantages

This PP tee offers resistance to common chemicals and does not corrode, ensuring long-term operation in water and heating systems. Its smooth inner surface reduces flow resistance and limits buildup, while the uniform material construction provides consistent thermal and mechanical behavior. The fitting is lightweight and easy to handle during installation, and compatible with standard 32 mm plastic pipes used in domestic and light commercial projects.

Suitable for

• Branching potable water supply lines in residential and commercial buildings
• Creating branches in heating circulation systems
• Plumbing installations requiring chemical and corrosion resistance
• Repairing or modifying existing 32 mm plastic pipe networks

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Nominal pipe size: 32 mm
• Type: three-way tee (perpendicular or inline branching)
• Suitable media: potable water, heating fluids, general plumbing liquids
• Properties: corrosion-resistant, chemically resistant, smooth internal surface

How to use

Prepare the pipe ends by cutting square and deburring to ensure proper fit. Follow the chosen joining method compatible with polypropylene fittings—such as socket fusion, electrofusion, or solvent welding—according to the installer’s practice and applicable standards. Insert pipes fully into the fitting sockets and allow joints to cool or cure as required by the joining method. Verify alignment and secure the assembled network, then perform pressure and leak tests before putting the system into regular service.

Usage recommendations

Use the fitting within its rated temperature and pressure limits for polypropylene systems and follow local codes for potable water and heating installations. Store fittings away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures prior to installation. For best results, match the fitting with compatible 32 mm pipes and use qualified installation techniques to ensure reliable, long-lasting joints.
