To install the TDM Brass tee fitting, ensure that the pipe ends are clean, deburred, and cut square. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape to the threaded connections if required by the specific installation method. Insert the pipes into the respective ports and tighten the connections using suitable plumbing tools, ensuring not to overtighten, which could damage the threads or the fitting body. Once installed, perform a pressure test to verify that all connections are secure and leak-free.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of your existing pipe material with brass fittings
• Ensure the 1/2 inch and 16 mm dimensions match your current piping system
• Check that the operating temperature of your system falls within the -20°C to +110°C range
• Confirm that you have the necessary tools for proper installation

Regularly inspect the fitting for signs of mineral buildup or external corrosion, especially in systems with hard water, to ensure continued optimal performance and system safety.
