KAN-therm pipe fitting tee with internal thread 42 x RP1/2 x 42 - model 6240674

The KAN-therm pipe fitting tee with internal thread 42 x RP1/2 x 42 (model 6240674) is a three-way plumbing component designed to connect two straight runs of 42 mm pipe with a central female RP1/2 threaded branch. It is intended for use in heating and plumbing systems where a threaded outlet is required for attaching valves, adapters, or instrumentation. The fitting provides a compact branch point that integrates a standard RP1/2 female thread into a 42 mm pipe network.

Advantages

This KAN-therm tee offers a reliable threaded branch connection that simplifies installation of valves and accessories without the need for additional adapters. The straight 42 mm inlets provide compatibility with systems using the same outer diameter, and the integrated female RP1/2 thread ensures a standardised connection point for fittings and measuring devices. The component is manufactured to match plumbing system tolerances, facilitating tight seals and stable mechanical connection when installed according to specifications.

Suitable for

• Creating a branch in heating distribution manifolds and risers
• Connecting valves, pressure gauges or drain points using RP1/2 thread
• Retrofitting a threaded outlet into metal or compatible plastic 42 mm pipe systems

Key specifications

• Connection types: two straight 42 mm pipe connections and one central female RP1/2 threaded branch
• Function: three-way tee with internal thread for branch connections
• Application area: plumbing and heating installations requiring a threaded outlet
• Material compatibility: intended for integration with metal or compatible plastic piping of matching dimensions
• Orientation: T-shaped fitting with central threaded branch perpendicular to main run

How to use

Prepare the 42 mm pipes by cutting them square, deburring the ends and ensuring clean mating surfaces. Insert the pipes into the straight inlets and secure the connections following the manufacturer's joining method appropriate for the pipe material (for example mechanical compression, press-fit, or welding where applicable). Apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape to external RP1/2 male threads before engaging them with the internal thread to ensure leak-tightness. Torque threaded connections to the recommended values for the attached component and verify alignment and sealing after pressurisation.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible sealing materials on the RP1/2 thread and follow system pressure and temperature limits. Verify material compatibility between the fitting and pipes, and perform a pressure test after installation to confirm leak-free operation.
