Reducer Tee PP-R KAN-therm 32/20/20 for polypropylene piping systems

Reducer Tee PP-R KAN-therm 32/20/20 is a polypropylene (PP‑R) fitting for plumbing systems that creates a reducing branch from a 32 mm main run to two 20 mm outlets. Manufactured by KAN‑therm, this tee is intended for use in potable cold and hot water distribution and other pressurized piping networks where a change of diameter and a compact branching point are required. The fitting is compatible with standard PP‑R piping and is designed for permanent thermal‑fusion connections.

Advantages

The reducer tee provides a smooth internal transition between diameters to reduce flow turbulence and pressure loss. Made of PP‑R material, it offers resistance to corrosion and scaling, low thermal conductivity, and chemical stability in typical water supply conditions. Its design enables reliable fusion joints with PP‑R pipes, ensuring leak‑tight connections when installed according to recommended welding procedures. The compact form factor simplifies installation in tight spaces and supports hygienic supply lines due to the non‑metallic, inert surface.

Suitable for

• Residential and commercial hot and cold potable water distribution
• Plumbing systems requiring diameter reduction and branching
• Underfloor heating manifolds and secondary branch connections (where 32→20 mm transition is needed)
• Applications where corrosion‑resistant, non‑metallic fittings are preferred

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene random copolymer (PP‑R)
• Connection type: thermal fusion (socket fusion) compatible with PP‑R pipe
• Main run diameter: 32 mm
• Branch outlet diameters: 20 mm and 20 mm
• Application: hot and cold potable water and general plumbing networks
• Design: reducing tee with compact branch geometry

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting squarely and removing any burrs or debris. Mark insertion depth on the pipe according to the fitting’s socket specification. Use a suitable PP‑R socket fusion tool set to the correct temperature for the pipe and fitting material. Heat the pipe and fitting for the time recommended by the welding tool manufacturer, then join them with steady axial pressure until the joint cools and sets. Ensure proper alignment during cooling and allow full cooling time before pressurizing the system. Follow local plumbing codes and relevant standards for jointing and system commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Store fittings in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and aggressive chemicals. Verify compatibility of welding tools and follow manufacturer instructions for heating times and temperatures. Pressure test the completed system according to applicable standards and perform visual inspection of joints after cooling to confirm correct fusion.
