Reduced Tee REHAU 32-25-32 SDR 11 LX — plastic pipe fitting for pressure systems

Reduced tee REHAU 32-25-32 SDR 11 LX is a plastic pipe fitting designed to integrate a 25 mm branch into a 32 mm main run within SDR 11 pressure piping systems. Manufactured from polyethylene compatible with SDR 11 wall-thickness standards, the fitting provides a reduced lateral connection while maintaining the pressure rating and integrity required for potable water distribution, irrigation and technical installations. The fitting is intended for use where a reliable, dimensionally consistent transition between pipe diameters is needed.

Advantages

The REHAU reduced tee offers uniform wall thickness and pressure class compatibility across the run and branch, ensuring consistent performance in SDR 11 systems. Its polyethylene construction provides corrosion resistance, chemical inertness typical for potable and non-potable water applications, and long-term dimensional stability. The design allows straightforward integration with compatible butt-fusion or electrofusion joining methods used for polyethylene pressure systems, supporting leak-free connections when installed according to standard procedures.

Suitable for

• Potable and non-potable water distribution networks
• Irrigation systems and agricultural water lines
• Technical installations requiring reduced branch connections in pressure piping
• Underground and above-ground polyethylene pipe systems compatible with SDR 11

Key specifications

• Material: polyethylene suitable for pressure piping
• Main diameter: 32 mm
• Branch diameter: 25 mm
• Standard wall-thickness class: SDR 11
• Connection type: reduced tee for fusion joining methods (butt-fusion or electrofusion compatible)
• Intended use: pressure piping for water distribution and irrigation

How to use

Install the reduced tee in accordance with industry standards and manufacturer guidelines for polyethylene pressure systems. Prepare pipe ends by cutting square and removing burrs, then align the main and branch pipes with the fitting. Use appropriate fusion techniques (butt-fusion or electrofusion) compatible with the fitting and pipe material to achieve permanent, pressure-rated joints. Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before welding and allow adequate cooling time after fusion before applying pressure to the system.

Usage recommendations

Verify system design pressures and temperatures to confirm SDR 11 compatibility. Use trained personnel and certified fusion equipment for joining polyethylene components to ensure safe, reliable performance. Inspect all joints after cooling and conduct pressure testing according to local codes and standards prior to putting the system into service.
