KAN-therm stainless steel reducing tee 42x22x42 mm model 6191504

KAN-therm stainless steel reducing tee 42x22x42 mm model 6191504 is a three-way pipe fitting that joins two 42 mm runs with a 22 mm branch. Made of stainless steel, the fitting provides corrosion resistance and mechanical strength suitable for water distribution and heating systems where a controlled reduction of pipe diameter is required. The design ensures a compact transition between equal-size mains and a smaller branch for manifold connections, radiator feeds, or secondary circuits.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction offers durability and resistance to corrosion, chemical exposure and temperature variations common in domestic and commercial plumbing. The reducing tee allows secure, leak-resistant connections between different pipe diameters without the need for additional adapters, simplifying installation and reducing potential failure points. Its compact form factor fits within tight spaces near manifolds or heat sources and is compatible with standard 42 mm and 22 mm pipe systems.

Suitable for

• Hot and cold water distribution lines
• Central heating manifolds and branch feeds
• Plumbing systems requiring a transition from 42 mm to 22 mm
• Industrial piping networks with stainless steel requirements

Key specifications

• Material: stainless steel for corrosion resistance
• Configuration: reducing tee with two equal outlets and one smaller branch
• Connection sizes: two 42 mm outlets and one 22 mm branch
• Application: suitable for potable water and heating system use where compatible with system materials
• Shape: compact three-way fitting designed for manifold and branch installations

How to use

Select the correct location on the piping network where a reduction from 42 mm to 22 mm is required. Prepare pipe ends according to the chosen joining method and system requirements, ensuring clean, square cuts and deburred edges. Position the reducing tee so the two 42 mm runs align with the mains and the 22 mm branch faces the intended secondary circuit. Complete the connection following the installation practice for the pipe material and joint type used (welding, press-fitting, or mechanical coupling), and pressure-test the system to verify leak-free operation.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility of the stainless steel reducing tee with pipe material and joining method before installation. Observe local plumbing codes and manufacturer instructions for allowable temperatures and pressures. During assembly, ensure proper alignment and secure joints; after installation, perform a pressure test and inspect for leaks. For systems carrying potable water, follow applicable sanitation requirements.
