Angle Reducing Tee TECE TECEFLEX 90° 20→16 mm 710511 / 760511

The TECE TECEFLEX Angle Reducing Tee 90° 20→16 mm is a compact plumbing fitting intended for use with TECEflex flexible piping systems. It provides a 90° branch that reduces two 20 mm (18 mm internal diameter) inlet lines to a single 16 mm outlet, enabling neat changes of diameter in potable water and heating circuits. The fitting is designed for secure mechanical joining methods commonly used with TECEflex systems and is dimensioned for installations where space and flow routing require a right-angle reduction.

Advantages

This reducing tee offers a compact right-angle geometry that simplifies routing in confined installation spaces. It is compatible with TECEflex flexible pipes and supports reliable press or push-fit joining methods used in modern plumbing and heating installations. The design reduces the need for additional adapters when transitioning between 20 mm and 16 mm lines and helps maintain system integrity with appropriate joining techniques.

Suitable for

• Branching potable water distribution networks where a diameter reduction is required
• Heating circuits and radiator feed lines with TECEflex piping
• Compact installations behind fixtures, inside cabinets, or in service shafts
• Retrofit work where existing 20 mm lines need to be reduced to 16 mm

Key specifications

• Fitting type: 90° reducing tee for flexible pipe systems
• Connections: two inlets 20 mm (18 mm internal) to one outlet 16 mm
• Material compatibility: designed for TECEflex flexible piping
• Application fluids: potable water and heating medium
• Installation method: suitable for press or push-fit connections typical for TECEflex systems

How to use

Select the tee at the point where a right-angle branch and diameter reduction are required. Prepare the TECEflex pipes by cutting squarely and deburring the ends to the manufacturer’s recommended dimensions. Insert the pipes into the corresponding 20 mm and 16 mm ports and apply the approved joining method for the system in use (pressing with compatible tools or push-fit insertion following TECE installation guidelines). Verify engagement marks and perform pressure testing as specified by applicable plumbing standards and local regulations.

Usage recommendations

Ensure compatibility with the specific TECEflex pipe type in the installation and follow TECE’s instructions for cutting, insertion depth, and the approved joining method. After installation, conduct a pressure test of the circuit before concealment to confirm leak-free connections.
