KAN-therm Trójnik PP 40mm plumbing tee 40 mm, model 04105140

KAN-therm Trójnik PP 40mm plumbing tee 40 mm, model 04105140 is a polypropylene (PP) T-fitting intended for connecting three pipelines with a 40 mm nominal diameter. The fitting creates a 90° branch from a straight run and is designed for use in heating, potable water and HVAC systems where PP pipework is specified. It is compatible with common joining techniques for PP fittings and offers a compact layout for distribution or redirection of fluids in residential and light commercial installations.

Advantages

The polypropylene construction provides chemical resistance and low weight while maintaining dimensional stability across normal operating temperatures for PP systems. The T-shape allows straightforward distribution or diversion of flow with minimal hydraulic loss when installed correctly. The fitting is designed for reliable mechanical or thermal joining, enabling use with fusion or suitable mechanical couplings depending on installer preference and system requirements. Its uniform material composition reduces the risk of galvanic issues and supports long-term service life when used within recommended conditions.

Suitable for

• Distribution and branching of potable water supply lines in buildings
• Return and supply connections in low-temperature heating systems
• HVAC pipework for water-based heat transfer and circulation
• General fluid redirection in non-aggressive chemical environments

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Connection type: butt-fusion or compatible mechanical coupling methods
• Nominal diameter: 40 mm for all three ports
• Shape: T-joint with 90° branch
• Typical applications: cold and hot water distribution, heating circuits, HVAC systems

How to use

Select a suitable installation location with straight, clean pipe ends. Prepare the pipe ends according to the chosen joining method (e.g., clean and square for fusion welding or deburred for mechanical couplers). Fit the 40 mm PP pipes into the tee and perform the specified joining procedure following the tool and material manufacturer instructions. After joining, allow any required cooling or curing time before pressure testing. Verify alignment and secure the pipeline to supports to prevent stress on the fitting during operation.

Usage recommendations

Use within the temperature and pressure limits recommended for polypropylene piping systems; avoid exposure to aggressive chemicals or direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Where thermal fusion is used, ensure certified fusion procedures and equipment. For potable water installations, follow local plumbing codes and flush the system before commissioning.
