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

The TDM Brass 1645 pressed tee is a precision-engineered plumbing component designed to facilitate secure and durable connections within water supply and heating infrastructure. With a configuration of 20mm x 16mm x 20mm, this fitting allows for efficient branching of piping systems while maintaining structural integrity. Constructed from high-quality brass, it provides excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress, ensuring a long service life in demanding environments.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this brass pressed tee is its ability to create permanent, leak-proof joints that withstand the rigors of daily operation in residential and commercial plumbing systems. The use of high-grade brass material ensures compatibility with various water qualities and prevents premature degradation. Its design is optimized for use with standard pressing tools, which significantly reduces installation time and minimizes the risk of human error compared to traditional soldering or threaded methods.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply systems
• Heating and radiator piping networks
• Branching connections in multi-layer pipe installations
• Professional plumbing and HVAC maintenance

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use with pipe materials that are incompatible with standard press-fit technology or for applications involving extreme chemical exposure that could compromise the brass alloy. It should not be used in systems where the operating pressure or temperature exceeds the manufacturer's specified limits for press-fit brass components.

Key specifications

• Material: Brass
• Configuration: 20mm x 16mm x 20mm
• 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 cleanly and deburred to prevent damage to the internal O-ring seals. Insert the pipe into the fitting until it reaches the stop point. Using a compatible pressing tool with the correct jaw profile for the pipe diameter, apply pressure to the fitting sleeve until the cycle is complete. Verify that the connection is secure and properly aligned before pressurizing the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your existing piping to ensure compatibility with the 20mm and 16mm ports.
• Ensure you have access to a professional-grade pressing tool suitable for this specific fitting type.
• Check local building codes and regulations regarding the use of brass press fittings in your specific application.

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the O-ring seals inside the fitting for any debris or damage prior to insertion. It is recommended to perform a pressure test on the entire system after installation to confirm that all joints are completely sealed before concealing the pipes behind walls or floors.
