Tee fitting TECE PPSU 20 x 20 x 16 mm model 730511 for plastic plumbing systems

TECE PPSU tee fitting 20 x 20 x 16 mm model 730511 is a three-way connector designed for plastic plumbing systems. Made from PPSU thermoplastic, it offers resistance to elevated temperatures and many chemicals, making it suitable for potable water distribution and heating circuits. The fitting provides a compact branching solution for new installations, extensions and repair work in residential and commercial systems.

Advantages

The PPSU material delivers high mechanical strength combined with thermal and chemical stability, reducing the risk of deformation under load or temperature cycles. The tee fitting’s compact dimensions enable space-saving installation in confined cavities and behind fixtures. Manufacture to industry plumbing dimensions ensures compatibility with common plastic pipes used in potable and heating systems, while the design promotes secure, leak-resistant connections when installed according to recommended methods.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution in residential and commercial buildings
• Heating circuits and hot-water return lines
• Branching pipe runs during renovations or extensions
• Repairing or replacing sections in plastic pipe networks

Когда это может быть не подходящим вариантом

The tee fitting is intended for plastic plumbing pipes; it is not suitable for direct connection to metal pipes without an appropriate transition coupling or adapter. Applications that require exposure to aggressive solvents or non-potable industrial fluids not compatible with PPSU should be avoided. Also, for systems requiring unusually large diameters or special threaded connections, this fitting’s dimensions may not match the requirement.

Key specifications

• Material: PPSU thermoplastic
• Connection type: branch tee for plastic pipe systems
• Pipe diameters: 20 x 20 x 16 mm
• Application areas: potable water and heating systems
• Suitable temperature range: designed for hot and cold water use (refer to system design limits)

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting square and deburring to ensure full insertion. Install the tee using compatible connection methods for the chosen plastic pipe system (push-fit, compression or fusion techniques as applicable for the specific pipe and fittings). Ensure pipes are inserted to the designated stop and follow the system manufacturer’s installation guidance, including any required O-rings, seals or tightening torques. After assembly, perform pressure testing and visual inspection to verify leak-free operation before final concealment.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm pipe compatibility with PPSU fittings and the exact pipe outer/inner diameters
• Verify the fitting’s suitability for the system’s maximum operating temperature and pressure
• Check whether adapters are needed for transitions to other pipe materials
• Ensure installation method (push-fit, compression, or fusion) matches the fitter’s tools and skills

Usage recommendations

Use this TECE PPSU tee in accordance with local plumbing codes and the broader piping system manufacturer’s instructions. After installation, conduct pressure and leak tests at recommended levels and document the results. For long-term reliability, avoid chemical exposure beyond the material’s compatibility list and protect the fitting from prolonged UV exposure during storage and installation.
