FAQs

What is the primary use of this reduced tee fitting?

This fitting is used to create a connection point for a smaller pipe (28mm) to branch off from a larger pipe (35mm) within a plumbing system, ensuring a strong and leak-free connection.

What material is the fitting made from?

The fitting is manufactured from Grade A copper, known for its durability, corrosion resistance, and hygienic properties.

Does this fitting meet safety standards?

Yes, it holds the British standard Kitemark licence and is manufactured to the EN 1254-1 standard, and is WRAS approved.

Can I use this fitting for any type of plumbing system?

It is suitable for various plumbing systems including hot and cold water and central heating, provided the pipe sizes (35mm and 28mm copper) and system conditions are compatible.

Is copper a hygienic material for plumbing?

Yes, copper has natural antimicrobial properties that can contribute to water hygiene.

How do I connect this fitting?

This is an endfeed fitting, typically connected by soldering the copper pipe into the fitting's socket after applying flux.

Is the material recyclable?

Yes, copper is a fully recyclable material.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaks after installation

Ensure the joint was properly heated and soldered, with sufficient solder penetration. Re-solder the joint if necessary, ensuring surfaces are clean and fluxed correctly.

Difficulty inserting pipe into fitting

Check for any obstructions or deformation in the pipe end or fitting socket. Ensure the pipe is cut square and deburred.

Solder not flowing into the joint

The joint may not have reached adequate temperature, or flux may be insufficient/absent. Reheat the joint and apply more solder.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting due to Grade A copper
  • Ensures leak-free systems when properly installed
  • Cost-effective solution for plumbing projects
  • Meets recognized British and international standards
  • Antimicrobial properties of copper enhance water hygiene

Cons

  • Specific size (35 x 35 x 28mm) requires careful planning
  • Requires specialized tools and knowledge for endfeed installation
  • Copper can be susceptible to certain types of corrosion in aggressive water conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure pipes and fitting are clean and free from debris.
  2. Apply flux evenly to the ends of the pipes and the inside of the fitting sockets.
  3. Insert the pipe fully into the fitting socket.
  4. Heat the joint evenly using a blowtorch.
  5. Apply solder to the joint; capillary action will draw it into the gap.
  6. Allow the joint to cool undisturbed.

Compatibility:

  • This fitting is designed for use with 35mm copper pipe on the main run and 28mm copper pipe on the branch.
  • Ensure all connected pipes and components are compatible with the water temperature and pressure.
  • Adheres to EN 1254-1 and WRAS standards, ensuring compatibility with other fittings meeting these requirements.

Care:

  • Copper fittings require minimal care once installed.
  • Avoid harsh chemical cleaning agents near joints.
  • Regular inspection of the overall plumbing system is recommended to catch any potential issues early.
