Tee fitting Perfexim 73A GW 16 mm x 1/2" x 16 mm (model 62-071-1615-000)

Perfexim press-fit tee 73A GW 16 mm x 1/2" x 16 mm (model 62-071-1615-000) is a compact plumbing fitting designed to create a three-way junction in metal-plastic or copper piping systems. The fitting combines two 16 mm press-fit outlets with a central 1/2" threaded branch (G) to connect service lines, enable fixture connections or integrate valves. It is intended for press installation, providing a reliable connection point for water distribution in residential and light commercial applications.

Advantages

This press-fit tee offers a space-efficient junction that reduces installation time compared with traditional soldered or glued joints. The combination of press-fit ends and a threaded branch allows direct connection of fixtures or valves without additional adapters in many cases. The design is suitable for use with compatible metal-plastic and copper pipes and supports standard press-connection tools and fittings, ensuring consistent mechanical strength and leak-resistant performance when installed according to manufacturer guidelines.

Suitable for

• Creating branch connections for water supply lines in kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms
• Repairing or modifying existing metal-plastic or copper piping networks
• Connecting fixtures or valves using a 1/2" threaded branch
• Compact plumbing runs in residential and light commercial installations

Key specifications

• Connection types: two press-fit ends (16 mm) and one threaded branch (1/2" G)
• Intended pipe materials: metal-plastic (multilayer) and copper
• Application: potable water distribution and general plumbing
• Installation method: press-fit connection for the 16 mm outlets, threaded connection for the 1/2" branch
• Form factor: compact press tee for confined installation spaces

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting square and removing burrs; ensure pipes and fitting are clean and free of debris. Slide the appropriate press sleeve (if separate) over the pipe where required, insert the pipe fully into the 16 mm press-fit ends until it reaches the internal stop, then apply a compatible press tool with the correct jaw profile to create the permanent mechanical joint. For the central branch, thread the matching 1/2" fitting or valve onto the threaded outlet using appropriate sealing material such as PTFE tape or thread sealant as specified for potable water use. After installation, perform pressure and leak tests following local plumbing codes and standards.

Usage recommendations

Use certified press tools and the correct jaw size for 16 mm connections, and verify compatibility of metal-plastic or copper pipe with the fitting. Follow local regulations for potable water systems and conduct pressure testing after installation. Do not use the fitting on systems with incompatible fluids or at temperatures and pressures beyond the limits specified by the piping system manufacturer.
