TDM Brass 1645 Pressed Tee 20mm x 16mm x 16mm

The TDM Brass 1645 pressed tee is a precision-engineered plumbing fitting designed to facilitate secure and durable pipe connections within water supply and heating systems. Featuring a configuration of 20mm x 16mm x 16mm, this component is specifically manufactured to provide a reliable, leak-proof seal when installed using professional pressing tools. Its robust brass construction ensures long-term performance and resistance to the stresses typically found in residential and commercial piping networks.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this pressed tee is its ability to create permanent, high-integrity connections that withstand thermal expansion and pressure fluctuations. By utilizing a press-fit mechanism, the installation process is significantly faster and safer than traditional soldering or threading methods, as it eliminates the need for open flames or chemical sealants. The high-quality brass material provides excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring that the internal water quality remains unaffected and the fitting maintains its structural integrity over many years of service.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply systems
• Heating and cooling circuit installations
• Commercial plumbing infrastructure
• Renovation projects requiring reliable pipe branching

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use in systems involving high-pressure steam or aggressive chemical fluids that may degrade brass alloys. It is also not compatible with pipe materials that require specific mechanical coupling systems other than those designed for standard press-fit technology.

Key specifications

• Material: High-quality brass
• Configuration: 20mm x 16mm x 16mm
• Connection type: Press-fit
• Application: Water supply and heating systems

How to use

To install the TDM Brass 1645 pressed tee, first ensure that the pipe ends are cut square and are free from burrs or debris. Insert the pipe into the fitting until it reaches the stop point. Using a compatible pressing tool equipped with the correct profile jaws, apply pressure to the fitting collar until the cycle is complete. Verify that the connection is secure and properly aligned before pressurizing the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your pressing tool is compatible with the fitting profile
• Verify the outer diameter of your pipes matches the 20mm and 16mm specifications
• Check local building codes for plumbing installation requirements

Usage recommendations

Always perform a pressure test on the completed installation before concealing the pipes behind walls or flooring to ensure all connections are perfectly sealed.
