Brass Reducing Tee Press KAN-therm 20 x 25 x 20 mm K-040608

KAN-therm Brass Reducing Tee Press 20 x 25 x 20 mm (model K-040608) is a press-fit fitting made of corrosion-resistant brass for use in plumbing and heating distribution systems. The fitting creates a branch from a 25 mm main line to two 20 mm outlets, providing a compact transition with press connection ends designed for permanent, leak-resistant joints. It is intended for potable water, heating circuits and general distribution where a reduction in pipe diameter is required.

Advantages

The brass construction offers good mechanical strength and corrosion resistance suitable for long-term installations. Press ends provide quick, reliable connections without the need for soldering, reducing installation time and eliminating an open-flame process. The reducing tee design allows a controlled diameter transition from 25 mm to 20 mm while maintaining stable flow characteristics and ease of alignment in compact installations.

Suitable for

• Press-fit plumbing systems for potable water
• Heating system distribution and branch connections
• Domestic and light-commercial water distribution where a 25 mm main reduces to 20 mm branches
• Retrofit and new-build applications using press-connection tools

Key specifications

• Material: brass (corrosion-resistant)
• Connection type: press ends compatible with press-fit tools
• Dimensions: reducing tee with main size 25 mm and branch sizes 20 mm
• Application medium: potable water and heating systems
• Suitable for closed distribution systems and heating circuits

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting square and deburring to ensure full insertion into the press ends. Slide the correct press jaw and backing ring (if required by the press system) over the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the fitting until it reaches the stop, and perform the press operation according to the press-tool manufacturer’s instructions. Verify each joint visually and, where applicable, perform a pressure test of the system after completing all connections.

Usage recommendations

Use certified press tools and manufacturer-recommended jaws sized for 20 mm and 25 mm connections. Ensure compatibility of seal materials and press profiles with the specific KAN-therm fitting series. Follow local plumbing codes and perform pressure testing after installation to confirm leak-tight joints.
