The KAN-therm plumbing tee 32 x G1" x 32 Press (model 1009259046) is a three-way fitting designed for press-installation systems. It combines two 32 mm press ends with a G1" threaded branch to create a reliable junction for potable water and heating circuits. The fitting is intended for use where a threaded outlet is required alongside press connections, providing a durable and compact solution for branch-off points in press systems.
Advantages
This press plumbing tee offers quick, consistent installation with press connections that reduce the need for soldering or welding. The combination of press ends and a threaded branch simplifies integration with valves, meters, or other threaded components. The fitting is designed for compatibility with standard 32 mm press piping and provides a tight, leak-resistant joint when installed with the appropriate press tooling and seals.
Suitable for
- Domestic potable water distribution systems.
- Residential and commercial heating circuits.
- Connections requiring a threaded branch for valves, gauges or meters.
- Press-fit installations using 32 mm piping.
When it may not be suitable
This tee is not intended for systems that require welding or soldered joints, or for pipe sizes other than 32 mm on the press connections. It may not be suitable for applications where the threaded outlet must match a non-standard thread size or where the materials specified for a particular chemical or media compatibility are different from those used in standard press fittings.
Key specifications
- Connection types: two 32 mm press ends and one G1" threaded branch.
- Application: potable water and heating systems.
- Material: designed for press-fit plumbing systems (compatible with standard press fitting materials).
- Installation method: press connection for the 32 mm ends; threaded connection for the G1" branch.
- Typical operating environments: indoor water distribution and heating circuits.
How to use
Prepare pipe ends by cutting squarely and deburring to ensure proper seating in the press ends. Fit the pipes into the 32 mm press sockets and use the correct press tool and jaw for the fitting material to make secure, permanent press joints. Thread the G1" branch to the required valve, meter or accessory using appropriate thread sealant or tape if specified for the installation. Follow local regulations and manufacturer instructions for pressure testing and commissioning.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify compatibility with the pipe material and press system in use (32 mm press fittings).
- Confirm that a G1" threaded outlet meets the connection requirements for valves or devices to be attached.
- Ensure availability of the correct press tooling and jaws for installation.
Usage recommendations
Use with matched press tools and approved seals, and perform pressure tests after installation. For threaded connections, apply appropriate thread sealing methods compatible with potable water or heating applications.
