Plumbright Compression Equal Tee 35mm - P701.10

The main advantage is the ease of installation without the need for soldering or specialized tools, providing a secure and permanent mechanical seal.

Yes, it is generally compatible with plastic pipes designed for use with compression fittings, provided they meet the required outer diameter and wall thickness standards.

Hand-tighten the nut first, then use a wrench for an additional 1 to 1.5 turns. For critical applications, consult the specific torque settings recommended by the pipe manufacturer or a professional plumber.

Yes, fittings manufactured to BS EN 1254-2 standards are designed to handle typical domestic and commercial water pressures when installed correctly.

While it's possible to loosen the nut and remove the fitting, the olive (compression ring) is typically a one-time-use component. It's best practice to use a new olive if reassembling the joint.

'Equal Tee' signifies that all three connections (the two in a line and the branch) are the same size, in this case, 35mm.

Ensure the pipe ends were clean and free of burrs. Verify the olive was correctly seated and that the compression nut was tightened sufficiently. Re-tighten the nut slightly if necessary, being careful not to overtighten.

Check for any damage or deformation on the pipe end. Ensure the pipe is perfectly round. A small amount of water-based lubricant can sometimes assist, but avoid greases that could degrade pipe materials.

Confirm the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting body. Double-check that the correct size pipe (35mm) is being used and that the compression nut and olive are properly engaged.
