Full details

This Sealey SharkBite Reducing Tee is designed for users of the Sealey Air Supply Ring Main System, offering a straightforward method to expand or connect workstations. Its key benefit is the fast-fit installation, significantly reducing setup time for compressed air lines. A minor consideration is its specific compatibility with the SharkBite system, meaning it's not a universal fitting.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this reducing tee?

Its primary purpose is to connect a 22mm section of SharkBite pipe to a 15mm section, allowing for expansion or branching of a compressed air ring main system or non-potable water lines.

Does this fitting require any special tools for installation?

No, it uses the Sealey SharkBite fast-fit system, which requires no special tools for installation. A SharkBite disconnect tool is needed for removal.

Can I use this tee for potable (drinking) water?

No, this fitting is explicitly stated as suitable for water movement *not intended for human consumption*. It should not be used for potable water systems.

What materials is the reducing tee made from?

While specific materials aren't detailed, it is constructed from high-quality components designed for air and non-potable water applications in a workshop environment.

How do I disconnect the pipe from the fitting?

To disconnect, you will need a SharkBite disconnect tool. Insert the tool around the pipe and push it towards the fitting to release the grip ring.

What is the size reduction this fitting provides?

This reducing tee connects a 22mm pipe to a 15mm pipe.

Troubleshooting

Leak at connection point

Ensure the pipe was pushed in fully and the pipe end was cut square and deburred. If the issue persists, try re-cutting the pipe and re-inserting or consider replacing the fitting.

Difficulty inserting pipe

Check for any obstructions or damage inside the fitting's port. Ensure the pipe end is clean and not deformed. Lightly lubricate the pipe end with water if necessary.

Fitting does not hold pipe securely

Verify that you are using a genuine SharkBite pipe. Ensure the internal grip ring is functioning correctly. If the pipe is loose, it may require replacement of the fitting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the ends of the SharkBite pipe are cut square and deburred. Push the pipe firmly into the reducing tee until it is fully seated. The fitting's internal O-ring creates a secure, watertight seal. To disconnect, use the SharkBite disconnect tool.
