Plumbright Compression Reduced Branch Tee - 22mm x 22mm x 15mm

Dezincification resistant means the material of the fitting is treated or alloyed to prevent the leaching of zinc when in contact with water. This significantly increases the fitting's lifespan and prevents potential contamination of the water.

You will need two pipe wrenches (or adjustable wrenches) to tighten the compression nuts securely. Ensure the pipe ends are clean and cut squarely, which may require a pipe cutter.

Yes, this fitting is generally compatible with standard copper, MDPE, and PEX pipes of the specified sizes (22mm and 15mm), provided they are suitable for water systems.

Compression fittings are designed to work with standard domestic water pressures. For specific pressure ratings, consult the product packaging or manufacturer's technical data.

A watertight seal is achieved by correctly inserting the pipe into the fitting and securely tightening the compression nut. The olive deforms onto the pipe, creating a mechanical seal against the fitting body.

While compression fittings can sometimes be removed, the olive deforms onto the pipe during tightening and is typically considered a single-use component for optimal sealing. Reuse may compromise the seal.

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting, the olive is correctly positioned, and the compression nut is tightened sufficiently. Check the pipe end for damage or irregularities.

Verify the 15mm pipe is properly connected to the branch outlet using its own compression fitting. Ensure the olive and nut are correctly installed and tightened on the 15mm pipe.

Ensure no debris is present in the threads. Do not force the nut; if resistance is too high, check for misalignment or damaged threads.

Ensure the tee is correctly aligned and the branch connection is not obstructing flow. Check for any internal burrs or obstructions within the pipes or fitting.
