Brass reducing tee TECE 16x20x16 mm for plumbing connections

Brass reducing tee TECE 16x20x16 mm for plumbing connections is a metal pipe fitting designed to create a branch from a 20 mm run into two 16 mm lines or to insert a smaller-diameter pipe into an existing system. Manufactured from brass, the fitting is intended for potable water and general plumbing installations where corrosion resistance and mechanical strength are required. The compact 16x20x16 mm geometry provides reliable flow distribution while maintaining compatibility with common 16 mm and 20 mm plumbing materials.

Advantages

The TECE brass reducing tee combines the durability of a brass fitting with precise dimensional tolerances for predictable installation and sealing performance. Its solid metal construction offers good resistance to wear, pressure and moderate temperature variations typical of domestic and commercial plumbing. The fitting’s standardized dimensions make it compatible with many common connection methods and pipe materials used in potable water systems and general plumbing networks.

Suitable for

• Branching a 20 mm water supply line into two 16 mm lines
• Integrating a 16 mm pipe into an existing 20 mm run
• Potable water distribution in residential and commercial buildings
• General plumbing repairs and retrofits requiring a durable metal fitting

Key specifications

• Material: Brass
• Configuration: Reducing tee (one 20 mm inlet, two 16 mm outlets)
• Dimensions: 16 x 20 x 16 mm
• Intended medium: Potable water and general plumbing fluids
• Mechanical properties: Suitable for typical domestic water pressures

How to use

Install the TECE brass reducing tee in accordance with standard plumbing practice and applicable local regulations. Prepare and deburr pipe ends, ensure mating surfaces are clean, and use the appropriate joining method for the pipe type (e.g., compression, soldering, press-fit or suitable mechanical connection) as designed for brass fittings. Verify alignment and support piping to avoid undue stress on the fitting, then pressure-test the system following installation to confirm leak-tightness.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible connection methods and sealants approved for potable water systems. Avoid exposure to aggressive chemicals that may corrode brass, and follow local regulations for potable water installations. If working at higher-than-normal temperatures or pressures, confirm material suitability and system ratings before installation.
