Compression Tee SiGMA-Li MT201620 — 20×16×20 mm red

SiGMA-Li compression tee MT201620 — 20×16×20 mm red is a press-fit plumbing fitting designed to form a T-branch in water distribution and heating systems. The fitting connects a 20 mm pipe to a 16 mm branch and another 20 mm outlet, enabling diversion or connection of fixtures in domestic and light commercial installations. Constructed for press installation, the tee offers a compact, color-coded solution to integrate into systems that use press fittings and compatible pipe materials.

Advantages

The compression tee provides a consistent, leak-resistant joint when installed with the correct press tool and compatible pipe. Its red finish aids quick identification on site and helps distinguish this fitting from other sizes or types. The compact 20×16×20 configuration conserves space in tight installation areas and reduces the need for additional adapters. Designed for press-fit assembly, it reduces installation time compared with traditional soldering or glue methods and is suitable for repeated professional installations where standardized press connections are used.

Suitable for

• Domestic potable water distribution where press fittings are specified
• Heating circuits in residential or small commercial buildings
• T-branch connections to supply fixtures such as radiators, sinks or appliances
• Retrofit or new-build projects using compatible pipe materials and press tools

Key specifications

• Connection sizes: 20 mm × 16 mm × 20 mm
• Type: compression / press-fit T-branch fitting
• Color: red, for visual identification
• Application: water distribution and heating systems
• Installation method: press-fit (requires compatible press tool and jaws)

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting square and deburring. Slide the fitting onto the prepared 20 mm and 16 mm pipes ensuring full insertion to the shoulder. Position the appropriate press tool and jaw around the press sleeve or fitting area according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Activate the press tool to form a permanent compression joint. Verify each joint visually and, where applicable, perform a pressure test of the system following local codes and installation practices before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Use only with pipe materials and press tools specified as compatible by the system manufacturer. Ensure correct jaw selection and pressing sequence for the 20×16×20 configuration. Inspect fittings for damage before installation and follow local regulations for potable water and heating system commissioning.
