KAN-therm PRESS STEEL reducing tee 76.1×66.7×76.1 mm model 6340389

KAN-therm PRESS STEEL reducing tee 76.1×66.7×76.1 mm model 6340389 is a press-fit steel pipe fitting designed to form a reduced-branch junction in press-connection plumbing and heating systems. The fitting has two equal larger outlets and a reduced middle outlet to enable a change in pipe diameter within a single compact component. It is intended for use where a robust, space-saving steel connection is required for distribution or branch-off points in industrial, commercial, and residential installations.

Advantages

The fitting is manufactured from pressed steel to provide mechanical strength and long service life under typical system pressures and temperatures. Its press-connection ends enable fast, solder-free installation, reducing assembly time and the need for open flame tools. The reduced-branch geometry offers a compact footprint for installations in confined spaces and simplifies transitions between different pipe diameters while maintaining flow integrity.

Suitable for

• Plumbing distribution networks in residential and commercial buildings
• Heating systems including radiators and underfloor heating manifolds
• Industrial process pipework where a reduced branch from a main run is required
• Retrofit and renovation projects requiring reliable press-fit steel fittings

Key specifications

• Material: press-formed steel suitable for press-connection systems
• Connection type: press-fit ends compatible with KAN-therm press tooling
• Dimensions: main run diameter 76.1 mm, reduced branch diameter 66.7 mm, overall layout 76.1×66.7×76.1 mm
• Configuration: reducing tee with two equal larger in-line outlets and one reduced branch outlet
• Application area: suitable for potable water, heating and general mechanical pipe systems where steel fittings are specified

How to use

Prepare mating pipes by cutting square, deburring and cleaning the pipe ends to remove dirt, grease and sharp edges. Insert pipes fully into the press ends of the fitting following the marking or stop depth guidelines provided by the press system manufacturer. Use the appropriate press tool and jaw size for the specified diameters to perform each press connection. Verify each completed press with visual inspection and, where applicable, system pressure testing according to project standards and local codes.

Usage recommendations

Use the KAN-therm PRESS STEEL reducing tee with compatible press tools and jaws, follow manufacturer instructions for press depth and sequence, and perform leak and pressure tests after installation. Select protective measures such as insulation or corrosion protection when installing in aggressive environments or where condensation and thermal exposure may occur.
