Brass reducing tee TECE 20 x 16 x 16 mm 760508

TECE brass reducing tee 20 x 16 x 16 mm is a three-way plumbing fitting made of corrosion-resistant brass designed to join a 20 mm supply line with two 16 mm branches. Intended for potable water, heating and general plumbing systems, the fitting provides a compact reduction without compromising flow or mechanical strength. The tee’s metal construction ensures reliable sealing and long service life in installations where a durable transition between different pipe diameters is required.

Advantages

The brass construction offers high mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion compared with many non-metal alternatives, supporting dependable performance in wet environments. Its reducing geometry enables a smooth diameter change from 20 mm to 16 mm on two outlets, simplifying pipe routing and minimizing the need for additional adapters. Designed for standard plumbing use, the fitting is compatible with common joining methods and provides stable connections under normal domestic and commercial operating conditions.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution in residential and commercial buildings
• Heating circuits and radiator connections
• General plumbing systems requiring a reduction from 20 mm to 16 mm
• Repair or modification of existing pipe networks with mixed diameters

Key specifications

• Material: brass, corrosion-resistant
• Configuration: reducing tee with one 20 mm inlet and two 16 mm outlets
• Application: potable water, heating, general plumbing
• Design: three-way fitting for inline reduction and branching
• Typical operating environment: domestic and light commercial plumbing systems

How to use

Prepare pipes by cutting squarely and deburring the ends to ensure proper seating. Select the appropriate joining method compatible with the pipe material and local regulations (for example, compression, soldering, press-fit or threaded adapters where applicable). Insert and align the pipes into the tee so that the 20 mm line connects to the main inlet and the two 16 mm pipes connect to the branch outlets. Apply recommended sealing or fastening techniques for the chosen connection method and perform a pressure test according to installation standards to verify leak-free operation.

Usage recommendations

Ensure compatibility between the fitting and the pipe material and joining method prior to installation. Follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidance for maximum operating pressures and temperatures. If in doubt, use appropriate seals or seek professional installation to achieve reliable, long-lasting connections.
