KAN-therm stainless steel transition tee 28x18x28 mm (model 6191427)

The KAN-therm stainless steel transition tee 28x18x28 mm (model 6191427) is a three-branch fitting designed to join pipes of two different diameters in plumbing and heating systems. Constructed from stainless steel, the transition tee provides a corrosion-resistant connection between 28 mm and 18 mm lines, ensuring stable fluid flow and mechanical strength in domestic and commercial installations.

Advantages

This stainless steel transition tee offers high corrosion resistance, mechanical durability and dimensional stability under typical operating temperatures for plumbing and heating systems. The design enables secure transitions between 28 mm and 18 mm pipes without the need for complex adapters. Its compact form factor allows integration in confined spaces while maintaining reliable sealing and flow characteristics.

Suitable for

• Domestic central heating systems where different pipe diameters are required
• Commercial plumbing installations with mixed 28 mm and 18 mm lines
• Radiator connections and manifold branches in multi-circuit systems
• Repair or retrofit projects requiring a durable, corrosion-resistant transition

Key specifications

• Material: stainless steel (corrosion-resistant)
• Configuration: three-branch tee with two equal 28 mm ends and one 18 mm branch
• Connection type: transition fitting for differing pipe diameters
• Typical application: potable water, heating circuits and hydronic systems
• Suitable for use in residential and commercial installations

How to use

Install the transition tee by preparing the pipe ends according to the pipe system manufacturer’s recommendations, ensuring clean, square cuts and deburred edges. Position the tee so that the 28 mm outlets align with the corresponding run pipes and the 18 mm branch aligns with the smaller line or appliance connection. Use the appropriate joining method specified for the pipe system (mechanical compression, press-fit, welding or approved fitting method) and follow torque and sealing instructions. After assembly, perform a pressure test in accordance with local standards to verify leak-tightness.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible stainless steel or approved material pipes and fittings, and follow system-specific installation guidelines. Avoid exposing the fitting to conditions outside the recommended temperature and pressure ratings for the piping system. For best results, inspect joints after the initial operating period and during routine maintenance.
