Brass push-fit tee KAN-therm 18×18×14 mm (model 9013.73)

KAN-therm brass push-fit tee 18×18×14 mm (model 9013.73) is a compact, tool-free plumbing fitting designed to create a reliable branch in pipe systems. The fitting provides a straight run of 18 mm with a 14 mm branch, enabling quick connections between compatible pipes such as copper and PEX. It is suitable for potable water installations, heating circuits and repair or retrofit work where a fast, leak-tight push-fit solution is required.

Advantages

The brass construction ensures mechanical strength and corrosion resistance while maintaining dimensional stability. Push-fit connections allow immediate use after assembly without soldering, crimping or adhesives. The compact tee simplifies layout in tight spaces and reduces installation time. The design accommodates a range of common piping materials when used with compatible pipe types, providing a durable joint for both pressurized water systems and low-temperature heating circuits.

Suitable for

• Potable water supply lines
• Heating circuits and underfloor heating manifolds
• Repair, retrofit and emergency branch installations
• Connections between copper and PEX or other compatible pipes

Key specifications

• Material: brass body designed for push-fit connections
• Connection sizes: 18 mm × 18 mm run with 14 mm branch
• Connection type: push-fit (tool-free assembly)
• Application temperature range: suitable for domestic hot and cold water and typical low-temperature heating systems
• Suitable pipe materials: copper, PEX and compatible polymer pipes (when used according to manufacturer's compatibility guidance)
• Compact form factor for installations in confined spaces

How to use

Ensure pipe ends are cut square, deburred and clean. Verify compatibility of the pipe material and diameter with the fitting. Push the pipe fully into the fitting until it seats against the internal stop; confirm the connection by a visual mark or by a firm tactile stop. For systems under pressure, follow standard practice and test the assembled joint for leaks according to local regulations. No soldering, crimping or adhesives are required for the push-fit joints.

Usage recommendations

Use this brass push-fit tee with pipes that meet the specified diameters and material compatibility. During installation, avoid rotating the pipe after insertion and follow recommended pressure and temperature limits for potable water and heating systems. Where local codes require, perform pressure testing and secure pipes with appropriate supports to prevent undue strain on the fitting.
