KAN-therm press reducing tee with crimp ring 50x4 / 25x2.5 / 50x4 K-081102

The KAN-therm press reducing tee with crimp ring 50x4 / 25x2.5 / 50x4 (model K-081102) is a plastic press-fit fitting designed to create a sealed reduced branch in plumbing and heating pipework. It enables a secure mechanical connection between two larger 50x4 mm pipes and a smaller 25x2.5 mm branch using a crimp ring and compatible press tools. The fitting is intended for professional installation in potable water and heating circuits where reliable, leak-free junctions are required.

Advantages

This press reducing tee offers a reliable pressed joint that reduces installation time compared with traditional soldered or glued connections. The crimp ring design ensures consistent compression around the pipe for a mechanically secure seal. Made from engineering-grade plastic compatible with KAN-therm systems, the fitting is resistant to corrosion and suitable for use in closed heating systems and potable water installations when installed according to applicable standards.

Suitable for

• Creating a reduced branch from 50x4 mm main pipe to 25x2.5 mm branch in heating systems
• Potable water distribution requiring a sealed mechanical connection
• Professional plumbing installations where press-fit connections are preferred
• Retrofit or new-build projects using KAN-therm press-fit components

Key specifications

• Material: plastic press-fit fitting compatible with KAN-therm piping systems
• Connection type: press-fit with crimp ring for mechanical sealing
• Pipe dimensions: branch 25 x 2.5 mm; runs 50 x 4 mm
• Application: potable water and heating circuits (closed systems)
• Installation method: requires compatible press tools and crimping equipment

How to use

Prepare pipes by cutting square and deburring ends to ensure full insertion into the fitting. Slide the crimp ring into position where required and insert the pipes fully into the fitting until they reach the stop. Use the recommended press tool and compatible jaws to compress the crimp ring uniformly according to the press tool manufacturer's instructions. After pressing, verify the connection visually and, where applicable, perform pressure testing of the system to confirm tightness before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Use only press tools and jaws specified for KAN-therm crimp-ring fittings and follow local plumbing and heating codes. Ensure pipes and fittings are clean and free of damage before installation. Perform system pressure tests after assembly and before putting the system into service. For potable water applications, observe applicable drinking water regulations and flushing procedures.
