Product Information

Full details

This John Guest Reducing Tee is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts working with underground MDPE cold water systems. Its key benefit is providing a secure, leak-free connection between a 32mm main line and a 25mm branch using trusted compression technology. A potential caveat is its specific application for cold water systems only.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is this fitting used for?

This is a reducing tee used to connect a 25mm branch pipe to a 32mm main MDPE cold water line.

Is this fitting suitable for hot water?

No, this fitting is specifically designed and approved for cold water systems only.

What type of pipe does it work with?

It is designed for use with Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE) pipes.

Do I need special tools to install it?

No, it uses standard compression technology and typically only requires a pipe cutter and a wrench for tightening.

Is it safe for drinking water?

Yes, it is WRAS approved, meaning it meets the standards for use in potable water systems.

Can this fitting be used for gas lines?

No, this fitting is strictly for water applications and must not be used for gas.

How do I ensure a leak-free seal?

Ensure the pipe is clean, cut squarely, fully inserted, and the compression nut is tightened appropriately. Avoid overtightening.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the connection point

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting. Check for debris on the pipe end or inside the fitting. Loosen the nut, re-seat the pipe, and retighten securely. Verify the pipe is the correct size and type.

Difficulty inserting pipe

Ensure the pipe end is clean, squarely cut, and slightly chamfered. A small amount of water-based lubricant can aid insertion if necessary, but avoid petroleum-based lubricants.

Fitting not holding securely

Confirm you are using the correct size pipes (32mm and 25mm MDPE). Ensure the pipe is not damaged or deformed at the insertion point. Check that the compression nut is fully tightened.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures a secure and leak-free connection.
  • Easy to install with standard compression fittings.
  • WRAS approved for potable water systems.
  • Durable and suitable for underground use.
  • Facilitates efficient water distribution system design.

Cons

  • Limited to cold water applications only.
  • Requires specific pipe sizes (32mm and 25mm).
  • Not suitable for hot water or pressurized gas systems.
  • Proper pipe preparation is essential for a reliable seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the ends of both the 32mm main line and the 25mm branch pipe are clean, free from dirt, and cut squarely.
  2. Slightly chamfer the outside edge of the pipe ends.
  3. Push the pipe firmly into the corresponding aperture of the reducing tee until it is fully seated.
  4. Tighten the compression nut securely by hand, followed by a quarter to half turn with a wrench for a definitive seal. Do not overtighten.

Compatibility:

  • Pipe Type: Exclusively compatible with MDPE pipes conforming to relevant standards.
  • Water Type: Suitable only for cold water systems.
  • Pressure: Designed for standard water supply pressures. Check product specifications for maximum pressure ratings.

Care:

  • No regular maintenance is required for the reducing tee itself once installed.
  • Periodically inspect above-ground connections for any signs of leakage. Ensure surrounding soil is well-compacted around underground installations to prevent pipe movement.
