Brass/Steel press offset tee KAN-therm 15x15 Press connection (model 1509257003)

KAN-therm brass/steel offset press tee for 15x15 mm press connection is a plumbing fitting designed to create a branch in press-connection systems for heating and potable water installations. The fitting combines a brass body with steel press ends and an offset geometry that allows routing around obstacles or aligning pipes in limited spaces. It is intended for use with compatible press tools and press sleeves, and for installation in residential and commercial piping networks where a reliable, permanent mechanical joint is required.

Advantages

The combination of brass and steel construction delivers corrosion resistance in the body and durable press surfaces for secure, leak-resistant joints. The offset design reduces the need for additional fittings or pipe bending when changing pipe direction or avoiding obstructions, saving installation time and materials. Press connection technology provides consistent mechanical joints that do not require flame or solder, enabling faster, safer assembly and predictable performance when installed with recommended press tools and sleeves.

Suitable for

• Creating a branch in 15x15 mm press-connection heating systems
• Potable water distribution in residential and commercial buildings
• Pipe routing around structural obstacles or tight installation spaces
• Repair or retrofit work where a secure press joint is preferred

Key specifications

• Nominal size: suitable for 15x15 mm piping
• Material: brass body with steel press ends
• Connection type: press-fit press ends for use with press sleeves
• Geometry: offset tee for lateral branch with compact alignment
• Application: heating and potable water systems

How to use

Confirm compatibility of the press tee with the pipe material and the specific press tool and sleeve system to be used. Prepare the pipe ends by cutting square and deburring the inner and outer edges, then mark insertion depth. Slide the appropriate press sleeve onto the pipe as required by the press system manufacturer, insert the pipe fully into the tee until the stop is reached, and position the press tool over the sleeve. Perform the press operation following the press tool and sleeve manufacturer's instructions, ensuring a complete press cycle and visual confirmation of a correct joint. After pressing, inspect the connection for correct deformation of the sleeve and verify system pressure where applicable.

Usage recommendations

Use the fitting only with press sleeves and tools specified by the pipe and press-system manufacturers. For potable water and heating systems, follow local regulations and testing procedures, including pressure testing after installation. Store fittings in a dry place and avoid mechanical damage to press ends before installation.
