Reducer tee VESBO TR5040 polypropylene PP‑R 50/40 mm

Reducer tee VESBO TR5040 polypropylene PP‑R 50/40 mm is a molded fitting designed to connect pipelines of different diameters in potable water and heating systems. Manufactured from PP‑R material, this reducer tee provides a reinforced, corrosion‑resistant junction that facilitates reliable fluid flow and straightforward socket welding installation. The fitting adapts a 50 mm main run to a 40 mm branch, maintaining compatibility with standard PP‑R pipe systems and installation practices.

Advantages

The polypropylene construction offers chemical and corrosion resistance and long-term dimensional stability under typical service temperatures for domestic water and heating. Its socket-compatible ends enable reliable heat-fusion joints that reduce the risk of leaks compared with mechanical fittings. The reducer tee's compact design helps maintain hydraulic efficiency while allowing a smooth transition between pipe sizes.

Suitable for

• Potable cold and hot water distribution systems using PP‑R piping
• Domestic and small commercial heating circuits with compatible plastic pipework
• Branch connections where a 50 mm main line must feed a 40 mm branch

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene random copolymer (PP‑R)
• Connection method: socket fusion (heat welding)
• Main diameter: 50 mm
• Branch diameter: 40 mm
• Application: water and central heating systems with compatible PP‑R pipes
• Properties: corrosion-resistant, chemical-resistant, lightweight

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting square and cleaning to remove debris and burrs. Mark insertion depths on pipes to ensure correct alignment. Use an appropriate PP‑R socket fusion tool set to the recommended temperature for the pipe material; heat both the fitting socket and the pipe end for the specified time, then join immediately, maintaining axial pressure until the joint cools. Allow the joint to cool undisturbed to develop full strength before pressurising the system. Follow applicable local codes and manufacturer's welding parameters for safe and durable connections.

Usage recommendations

Store fittings in a dry, shaded area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Verify compatibility of all system components and observe recommended pressure and temperature limits for PP‑R systems. For best results, use certified fusion equipment and trained personnel for heat-fusion installation.
