TDM Brass Pressed Tee Art 1660 16mm x 1/2 inch Internal Thread

The TDM Brass Pressed Tee Art 1660 is a professional-grade plumbing component engineered for creating secure, permanent junctions in water supply and heating systems. This fitting features a 16mm press connection on two ends and a 1/2 inch internal thread on the branch, allowing for a seamless transition between press-fit piping and threaded components. Constructed from high-quality brass, it provides excellent structural integrity and long-term reliability in demanding plumbing environments.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this brass pressed tee is its ability to create a robust and leak-proof connection that withstands the rigors of daily operation in residential and commercial piping networks. The use of premium brass material ensures high resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress, contributing to the longevity of the entire plumbing system. Its precise design facilitates efficient installation, reducing the time required for assembly while maintaining high safety standards for fluid transport.

Suitable for

• Connecting 16mm press-fit pipes in water supply systems
• Integrating threaded components into a press-fit piping network
• Heating system installations requiring a 90-degree branch connection
• Professional plumbing maintenance and new construction projects

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 systems where the operating pressure or temperature exceeds the manufacturer's specified limits for brass press fittings. It should not be used in applications involving highly corrosive chemical media that could degrade the brass material over time.

Key specifications

• Material: High-quality brass
• Connection type: 16mm press connection and 1/2 inch internal thread
• Configuration: 90-degree tee

How to use

To install the TDM Brass Pressed Tee, ensure the pipe ends are cut cleanly and deburred to prevent damage to the internal seals. Insert the pipe into the press fitting until it reaches the stop point. Use a compatible pressing tool with the correct profile to compress the fitting onto the pipe, creating a permanent, watertight seal. For the threaded connection, apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male component before screwing it into the 1/2 inch internal thread of the tee.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your piping system uses 16mm diameter pipes
• Ensure your pressing tool is compatible with the fitting profile
• Check that the 1/2 inch threaded connection matches your specific hardware requirements

Usage recommendations

Always perform a pressure test on the system after installation to confirm that all connections are secure and leak-free before concealing the pipes behind walls or flooring.
