Designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts alike, the End Feed One End Branch Reduced Tee is the ideal choice for creating reliable, leak-free copper piping systems. This fitting excels in durability and hygiene due to its grade A copper construction, which offers natural sterilization properties and low corrosion; however, users should note that as an end-feed fitting, it requires manual solder application, making it less suitable for those without basic brazing or soldering experience.

Yes, this product is WRAS approved, making it safe for use in potable water systems.
You will need a pipe cutter, abrasive cleaning pad, plumbing flux, a solder wire, and a propane or butane blowtorch.
While this is a high-quality copper fitting, always verify local regulations regarding gas-specific requirements and certifications before use.
Yes, end-feed fittings are designed to create a permanent, non-detachable bond between pipes.
It is a reduction tee featuring two 22mm ports and one 15mm branch port.
It is called 'end-feed' because the solder is applied to the end of the fitting, where it is drawn into the joint by capillary action.
Ensure the pipe is cleaned of all oxidation, proper flux is applied, and the heat is applied to the fitting rather than directly on the solder wire.
Clean the joint thoroughly, ensure it is dry, and re-apply heat with a small amount of additional solder, or desolder and clean the pipe end before re-attempting.
To ensure a successful installation, follow these steps: First, clean the exterior of the copper pipe and the interior of the fitting with wire wool or an abrasive pad until bright. Apply a suitable flux to both surfaces to prevent oxidation during heating. Insert the pipe into the fitting and heat the joint evenly with a blowtorch until the solder flows into the gap via capillary action. Always allow the joint to cool naturally without moving it. This fitting is fully compatible with standard copper pipework meeting EN 1254-1 specifications. No special maintenance is required, though joints should be visually inspected for leaks upon initial pressurization of the system.
