Sanitas 04.2016 PPR Three-Way Reducing Tee 20x16x20 mm

The Sanitas 04.2016 PPR three-way reducing tee is a professional-grade plumbing component engineered for the seamless integration of polypropylene piping systems. With a configuration of 20x16x20 mm, this fitting allows for efficient branching in water distribution networks, ensuring consistent flow and structural integrity. Its robust construction makes it an essential element for both residential and commercial plumbing and heating installations.

Advantages

This PPR reducing tee offers exceptional durability and resistance to chemical corrosion, which significantly extends the lifespan of the piping system. The smooth internal surface minimizes pressure loss and prevents the accumulation of deposits, ensuring optimal hydraulic performance over time. Its lightweight design simplifies handling during installation, while the high-quality polypropylene material provides excellent thermal stability and a secure, leak-proof connection when properly welded.

Suitable for

• Residential hot and cold water supply systems
• Commercial plumbing infrastructure
• Heating system branching and distribution
• Polypropylene pipe network modifications

This fitting is not intended for use in high-pressure industrial steam lines or systems where temperatures consistently exceed the specified operating range of 60°C. It is also not compatible with metal piping systems without the use of appropriate transition adapters.

Key specifications

• Material: Polypropylene
• Configuration: 20x16x20 mm
• Connection count: 3
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Operating temperature range: 5°C to 60°C
• Colour: Grey

To install the Sanitas PPR reducing tee, ensure the pipe ends are cut squarely and cleaned of any debris. Use a calibrated PPR welding machine to heat both the fitting and the pipe simultaneously according to the manufacturer's recommended dwell time. Once heated, insert the pipe into the fitting without twisting to create a homogeneous, permanent fusion bond. Allow the connection to cool completely before applying pressure to the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your existing piping to ensure compatibility with the 20x16x20 mm dimensions.
• Ensure your welding equipment is compatible with polypropylene fittings.
• Check that the operating temperature of your system does not exceed 60°C.

Usage recommendations

Always perform a pressure test on the completed piping network before concealing the pipes behind walls or under floors to ensure all fusion joints are perfectly sealed.
