KAN-therm Trójnik GW PP 16x1/2" 04105216 — plumbing tee, female thread, PP

KAN-therm Trójnik GW PP 16x1/2" is a polypropylene (PP) plumbing tee with an integrated female threaded branch designed to connect 16 mm plastic piping to a 1/2" female thread. The fitting is intended for use in potable water distribution and heating systems where a secure threaded outlet is required. Its polypropylene construction offers low weight and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for domestic and light commercial plumbing installations.

Advantages

The polypropylene body ensures chemical and corrosion resistance and contributes to a long service life in water systems. The female threaded branch provides a standardized connection point for taps, valves or threaded adapters without additional conversion components. The compact design simplifies installation in confined spaces and reduces the need for complex jointing procedures. Low thermal conductivity of PP helps limit heat loss in heating circuits.

Suitable for

• Connecting 16 mm plastic piping to 1/2" threaded valves or fixtures
• Tap or appliance branch-offs in potable water systems
• Branching in domestic heating circuits and radiator connections
• Retrofit or extension work in light commercial plumbing

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Pipe connection size: 16 mm
• Threaded branch: female 1/2"
• Application: potable water and heating systems
• Design: tee with one female threaded outlet
• Characteristics: corrosion resistant, lightweight

How to use

Prepare the 16 mm plastic pipe by cutting squarely and, if required by the pipe system, chamfer or deburr the end to ensure a smooth fit. Insert the pipe into the corresponding socket of the tee according to the pipe joining method recommended for the system (e.g., press-fit, socket fusion, or adhesive suitable for PP), and secure the threaded branch to the mating 1/2" male thread using appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to ensure a leak-free connection. Follow system pressure and temperature limits and perform a pressure test after installation to verify integrity.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible joining methods and accessories specified for polypropylene systems and ensure that the mating male thread and sealing materials are suitable for potable water or heating applications. Avoid exposing the fitting to direct sunlight for prolonged periods and protect from mechanical damage during assembly. Conduct a pressure test in accordance with local regulations after installation.
