KAN-therm steel press tee 22x15x22 for plumbing and heating systems, model 1509260014

The KAN-therm steel press tee 22x15x22 (model 1509260014) is a press-fit fitting designed for plumbing and heating systems that require a secure branch connection between two 22 mm runs and a 15 mm outlet. Constructed from steel to provide mechanical strength and reliability, this tee is suitable for potable water and central heating installations when used with compatible press tools and press sleeves. The compact geometry and press connection design reduce installation time compared with threaded or soldered joints.

Advantages

Made of steel for improved mechanical resistance and dimensional stability, the tee delivers consistent sealing when pressed with the correct tooling and sleeves. The press-fit design enables rapid assembly and a reduced need for open flames or solvent welds, making it suitable for environments with safety restrictions. Its compatibility with common press systems used in residential and commercial work supports predictable performance and ease of integration into existing pipe networks.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution in residential and commercial buildings
• Central heating systems and radiator connections
• Branching from 22 mm supply lines to 15 mm service lines
• Retrofit and new-build plumbing where press connections are preferred

Key specifications

• Material: steel for mechanical strength and corrosion resistance (as applicable for intended media)
• Connection type: press-fit on all three ends for tool-based pressing
• Dimensions: main runs 22 mm, branch 15 mm
• Application: potable water and heating systems
• Suitable for use with compatible press tools and press sleeves rated for the same pipe dimensions

How to use

Prepare the pipe ends by cutting squarely and deburring to ensure proper insertion depth. Mark the insertion depth on the pipe, slide the appropriate press sleeve (compatible with the press system and pipe material) over the joint area, and assemble the tee into the pipe until the insertion marks align with the fitting seats. Using a press tool and the correct jaw for 22 mm and 15 mm diameters, perform the pressing operation following the tool manufacturer's instructions to create a secure, leak-resistant joint. After pressing, visually inspect each joint for correct sleeve compression and alignment.

Usage recommendations

Use only press sleeves and pressing jaws recommended by the press tool and sleeve manufacturers and follow local plumbing codes. Verify material compatibility with the conveyed media and system temperatures. For potable water systems ensure appropriate flushing and commissioning procedures are followed after installation.
