PP-R pipe branch tee SiGMA-Li T50, 50 mm

PP-R pipe branch tee SiGMA-Li T50, 50 mm is a polypropylene-random (PP-R) fitting designed to form a three-way connection in plumbing and heating systems. The fitting connects three pipes of the same 50 mm nominal diameter, providing a uniform branch for potable water distribution, heating circuits and general piping applications where chemical and thermal stability are required. Manufactured for use in pressurized systems, this branch tee is compatible with PP-R piping and is intended for fusion welding installation methods.

Advantages

The PP-R construction delivers corrosion resistance, long-term durability and chemical inertness compared with metal fittings. A uniform material composition across the body and sockets allows for reliable heat-fusion joints that minimize leak risks when installed according to standards. The 50 mm nominal diameter supports medium-capacity flow while maintaining low weight for easier handling and alignment during assembly. The smooth inner surface reduces scale build-up and pressure loss, contributing to efficient fluid transport.

Suitable for

• Cold and hot potable water distribution systems
• Residential and commercial heating circuits (radiator and underfloor heating manifolds)
• General plumbing branch connections in non-corrosive fluid systems
• Applications requiring heat-fused PP-R joints for long-term leak resistance

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene-random (PP-R)
• Nominal diameter: 50 mm
• Connection type: socket ends for heat fusion
• Application: potable water and heating systems
• Inner surface: smooth to reduce scale and pressure drop

How to use

Prepare the pipes by cutting squarely to the required lengths and deburring the ends to ensure clean, even contact surfaces. Use a compatible PP-R socket fusion tool sized for 50 mm fittings and follow the tool manufacturer's temperature and heating-time recommendations. Align pipe ends and fitting sockets accurately, then perform the heat-fusion process, maintaining axial pressure until the joint cools and solidifies. After cooling, inspect joints visually and perform pressure testing according to local plumbing codes to confirm system integrity before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Install and test this PP-R branch tee in accordance with applicable codes and the fusion equipment guidelines. Avoid exposure to prolonged direct sunlight and aggressive solvents; store components in a clean, dry environment prior to installation. For systems carrying hot water, confirm that operating temperatures and pressures are within the rated limits of PP-R piping and use appropriate insulation where required.
