Perfexim pipe tee 16 mm, model 70A (MPN 61-010-0160-000)

Perfexim pipe tee 16 mm, model 70A is a plumbing fitting designed to connect three sections of 16 mm piping in a T-shaped configuration. It creates a branch connection for distribution or diversion of water and other compatible fluids in heating, plumbing and fluid distribution systems. The fitting is intended for use where a reliable three-way junction with uniform 16 mm connections is required.

Advantages

This 16 mm pipe tee provides a compact and consistent junction for three pipes of the same diameter, ensuring uniform flow paths and straightforward installation. The T-shaped design minimizes pressure losses at the branch point and simplifies routing in confined spaces. As a purpose-made plumbing fitting, it offers predictable dimensions and compatible connection geometry for 16 mm piping systems commonly used in heating and domestic water distribution.

Suitable for

• Branching supply lines in domestic heating systems
• Connecting sections in potable water distribution where 16 mm pipes are used
• Creating T-connections in radiator or underfloor heating manifolds
• Small-scale fluid distribution networks requiring uniform 16 mm connections

Key specifications

• Nominal connection diameter: 16 mm
• Configuration: T-shaped (three-way junction)
• Application area: plumbing, heating and fluid distribution systems
• Compatibility: designed to mate with 16 mm piping and fittings
• Typical installation orientation: inline with one branch at 90° to the main run

How to use

Prepare each 16 mm pipe end by cutting square and deburring to ensure a clean fit. Align the pipes with the tee’s three openings and insert them according to the connection method specified for the pipe type (push-fit, compression, crimp, or solvent weld as applicable for the piping system in use). Ensure seals or rings are correctly seated if the fitting relies on gaskets. After assembly, verify alignment and secure connections following manufacturer or system installation instructions, then pressure-test the circuit to check for leaks before placing the system into regular operation.

Usage recommendations

Use this tee only with compatible 16 mm piping materials and connection methods; verify material compatibility with the transported fluid and operating temperature and pressure ranges. Follow applicable installation standards and pressure-testing procedures. Replace any damaged fittings and inspect connections periodically for integrity.
