Sanitas PPR Water Supply Tee 27.2020

The Sanitas PPR water supply tee is a high-quality plumbing fitting engineered for secure and durable connections within polypropylene pipe systems. Designed for both residential and commercial water supply installations, this component facilitates reliable flow distribution and ensures leak-proof performance. Its robust construction provides excellent resistance to corrosion and chemical degradation, making it a dependable solution for modern plumbing infrastructure.

Advantages

This tee fitting offers exceptional durability due to its high-grade polypropylene random copolymer construction, which maintains structural integrity under varying pressure and temperature conditions. The material is inherently resistant to scaling and corrosion, ensuring a long service life and maintaining water quality by preventing internal buildup. Its smooth interior surface minimizes friction loss, promoting efficient water flow throughout the plumbing system. Furthermore, the precision-engineered design allows for a seamless, homogeneous connection when installed using thermal fusion welding, which effectively eliminates the risk of leaks at the joint.

Suitable for

• Residential cold and hot water supply systems
• Commercial building plumbing infrastructure
• Potable water distribution networks
• Renovation of existing polypropylene piping systems

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is specifically designed for use with polypropylene pipe systems and is not compatible with metal or other plastic piping materials that require mechanical or threaded connections. It should not be used in high-pressure steam applications or systems where temperatures exceed the thermal limits of polypropylene material.

Key specifications

• Material: Polypropylene Random Copolymer (PPR)
• Connection type: Thermal fusion welding
• Corrosion resistance: High
• Chemical resistance: High
• Application: Water supply systems

How to use

To install the Sanitas PPR tee, ensure that the pipe ends are cut squarely and are free from debris. Use a professional PPR pipe welding machine to heat both the fitting socket and the pipe end simultaneously according to the manufacturer's recommended heating time. Once the required temperature is reached, immediately insert the pipe into the fitting without twisting, holding it firmly in place until the joint cools and solidifies. This process creates a permanent, leak-proof molecular bond between the components.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your existing piping to ensure compatibility
• Ensure access to a thermal fusion welding tool for installation
• Check the maximum operating temperature and pressure requirements of your specific system

Usage recommendations

Always follow the specific heating times and cooling durations provided by your welding equipment manufacturer to ensure a secure and long-lasting connection. Avoid applying excessive force during the insertion process to prevent internal ridges that could restrict water flow.
