Brass Tee TECE 20 mm × 1/2" (male thread) × 20 mm – model 769520

TECE brass tee 20 mm × 1/2" (male thread) × 20 mm, model 769520, is a compact pipe fitting designed to join three lines: two 20 mm pipe ends and a central 1/2" male threaded branch. Manufactured from brass to provide corrosion resistance and reliable mechanical strength, this tee supports transitions between smooth-walled 20 mm tubing and 1/2" threaded components commonly used in plumbing and heating systems. Its construction is intended for repeated installation and service in potable water and heating circuits where a durable threaded connection is required.

Advantages

The brass construction offers good resistance to corrosion and wear compared with standard fittings, ensuring long-term dimensional stability and leak-tight performance when assembled correctly. The integrated 1/2" male thread provides a standardized connection point for valves, gauges, or adapters, simplifying installation of mixed-thread and pipe systems. The compact tee geometry allows space-efficient routing of supply and branch lines without adding unnecessary bulk to the pipe run.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water installations
• Heating systems and radiator connections
• Plumbing repairs and retrofit work where a threaded branch is required
• Connecting 20 mm pipe runs to 1/2" threaded valves, fittings or instruments

Key specifications

• Material: brass alloy suitable for plumbing use
• Connections: two 20 mm pipe ends and one 1/2" male threaded branch
• Application medium: potable water and heating fluids
• Function: T-shaped three-way fitting for branch off a 20 mm line
• Typical installation environment: indoor water distribution and heating circuits

How to use

Prepare the 20 mm pipe ends by cutting squarely, deburring and cleaning mating surfaces. Install the tee according to the chosen joining method for the 20 mm connections (press, push-fit, solder or compression) appropriate to the pipe system and local codes. Apply suitable pipe sealant or PTFE tape to the 1/2" male thread where required, then connect the threaded component (valve, gauge, adapter) and tighten to the manufacturer’s recommended torque. After assembly, pressurize and inspect joints for leaks and correct any connections before placing the system into permanent service.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible joining methods and approved sealants for the specific pipe system. Verify material compatibility with the fluid in the system and follow local regulations for potable water and heating installations. When in doubt, consult installation guides or a qualified plumber to ensure proper assembly and leak-tight performance.
