KAN-therm fitting tee with male thread 28x28 mm 1/2" model 6240630

The KAN-therm fitting tee with male thread 28x28 mm 1/2" model 6240630 is a plumbing tee designed to join two 28 mm pipes while providing a 1/2" external threaded branch for valves, gauges or auxiliary connections. It is intended for use in heating and potable water installations where a threaded outlet is required. The fitting is manufactured to integrate with KAN-therm pipe systems and offers a compact solution for creating a threaded take-off without additional adapters.

Advantages

The tee combines pipe connection and a male threaded branch in a single component, reducing installation time and the number of parts required. Its geometry ensures secure mechanical connection to 28 mm pipes while presenting a standard 1/2" male thread for compatibility with common valves and instruments. The design facilitates neat, space-efficient routing and a reliable threaded interface for meters, drain valves or service connections.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial heating systems
• Potable water distribution where a threaded branch is needed
• Installation of valves, pressure gauges or drain points
• Retrofit connections and service lines in mechanical rooms

Key specifications

• Pipe connection size: two inlets/outlets for 28 mm pipe
• Threaded branch: 1/2" external (male) thread for standard fittings
• Material compatibility: intended for use with KAN-therm piping and similar systems suitable for heating and potable water
• Application: suitable for press-fit or mechanically joined 28 mm pipe installations depending on system practice
• Function: provides a compact threaded take-off for valves, gauges or auxiliary connections

How to use

Prepare the 28 mm pipes according to the connection method prescribed for the piping system in use (cut square, deburr and clean). Insert or join the pipes into the two 28 mm ends of the tee following manufacturer instructions for the chosen joining technique. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape to the 1/2" male thread when fitting valves or instruments, and tighten to the torque recommended by the valve or instrument manufacturer. After installation, perform pressure testing of the system in accordance with local codes and the piping system guidelines.

Usage recommendations

Use the tee only within the temperature and pressure limits of the connected piping system and ensure compatibility of materials with potable water if used in drinking water systems. When installing valves or instruments on the 1/2" branch, follow the torque and sealing recommendations of those components to avoid thread damage and ensure leak-free joints.
