When selecting a suitable component for plumbing and heating systems, the TDM Brass LINK 20x2 Press Fitting is compared with several alternative fittings from the same brand, such as the TDM Brass Angle Connector 20x2 mm, TDM Brass LINK 16x2 Pipe Fitting, TDM Brass 1640 Pressed Connector 26x26 mm, TDM Brass Elbow 3/4 inch x 26 mm x 3.0 mm Press Fitting, and TDM Brass Pressed Tee 20/20/20 mm. All these items are made of durable brass and are designed to provide reliable, leak-proof connections in residential and commercial buildings. The main differences lie in the geometry of the connections (straight, angled, or tee) and the supported pipe sizes, which determine their role in a specific piping configuration.
⚙️ The table below compares the specifications of the various fittings, including connection type, pipe size, body shape, and practical purpose within piping networks.

◎ The table below evaluates how well each product matches different use cases to help choose the optimal component.
| Use case | Recommended product | Why |
|---|
| Straight connection for 20x2 mm pipes | TDM Brass LINK 20x2 Press Fitting | Ideally sized for standard pipelines without changing flow direction |
| 90-degree pipeline bend for 20x2 mm pipes | TDM Brass Angle Connector 20x2 mm | Allows reliable routing around corners without the risk of pipe kinking |
| Installation of smaller 16x2 mm pipes | TDM Brass LINK 16x2 Pipe Fitting | Optimal for interior layouts with smaller flow capacities |
| Connecting larger 26x26 mm pipes | TDM Brass 1640 Pressed Connector 26x26 mm | Designed for larger mains with higher flow requirements |
| Transition from a 26 mm pipe to a 3/4 inch threaded connection with a bend | TDM Brass Elbow 3/4 inch x 26 mm x 3.0 mm Press Fitting | Combines the functions of an angle connection and a threaded transition |
| Splitting flow into three directions for 20 mm pipes | TDM Brass Pressed Tee 20/20/20 mm | Enables dividing a single line into two or merging flows of the same diameter |
The TDM Brass LINK 20x2 Press Fitting is best suited for straight connections of 20x2 mm pipes in water supply and heating systems, offering secure sealing and long-term durability. Choosing alternatives is only necessary when you need to change pipe diameters, route around corners, or branch the fluid flow.
