Brass Tee Fitting TECE 16 x 16 x 16 mm, model 71 00 16

TECE brass tee fitting 16 x 16 x 16 mm, model 71 00 16, is a three-way connector designed for creating a compact branch in water supply and heating pipe systems. Manufactured from brass, the fitting provides mechanical strength and corrosion resistance suitable for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where three equal-diameter pipes must be joined reliably.

Advantages

The brass construction ensures long-term durability and resistance to wear and corrosion in typical potable water and heating environments. Its symmetrical 16 x 16 x 16 dimensions allow straightforward integration with pipes of the same diameter, reducing the need for adapters. The compact form factor makes it suitable for installations in confined spaces and simplifies routing of branch lines.

Suitable for

• Branching potable water supply lines in residential buildings
• Creating tee connections in heating circuits and radiator feed lines
• Light commercial plumbing where compact, durable tees are required

Key specifications

• Material: brass
• Connection type: three-way tee for equal-diameter pipes
• Nominal size: 16 mm x 16 mm x 16 mm
• Application: water supply and heating systems
• Design: compact, symmetrical tee

How to use

Install the tee by preparing the pipe ends to the required clean, square cut and fit them into the corresponding ports of the fitting. Depending on the pipe and system type, secure the connection by the appropriate joining method compatible with brass fittings (for example, compression, soldering, or approved mechanical connectors). Ensure seals, fittings and joining materials meet local plumbing standards and that system pressure is within the allowable range for brass components. After installation, perform a pressure test to verify leak-free operation.

Usage recommendations

Use the TECE brass tee in systems with compatible 16 mm piping and follow local plumbing codes. Avoid exposure to aggressive chemicals and maintain proper water treatment to minimize dezincification risk. When assembling, follow recommended torque and joining procedures for the chosen connection method to ensure a reliable, long-lasting seal.
