Product Information

Full details

The Plumbright Reducing Tee is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to branch off a 22mm main water line to a 10mm microbore pipe. This push-fit solution is ideal for heating and plumbing systems where speed and reliability are paramount, though it should be noted that the push-fit mechanism requires clean, burr-free pipe ends to ensure a permanent, leak-proof seal.

FAQs

Can I reuse this fitting after removing it?

No, this push-fit fitting is designed for a permanent, one-time connection to ensure maximum safety and leak prevention.

Is this tee suitable for gas lines?

No, this fitting is intended strictly for plumbing and heating water systems and should never be used for gas supply lines.

What is the primary benefit of the white finish?

The white finish provides a clean, neutral appearance for exposed pipework and aids in easy visual identification of the fitting type.

Do I need to use pipe sealant or grease?

No, the internal O-ring seal is pre-lubricated and designed to create a watertight seal on its own, provided the pipe surface is clean.

Does it require a special removal tool?

While the fitting is designed to be permanent, it can be removed using a specific collet release tool if replacement is absolutely necessary.

Troubleshooting

Joint is leaking immediately after installation

Remove the pipe, check for scratches or burrs on the tube surface, and ensure it was inserted fully past the O-ring.

Difficulty inserting pipe into fitting

Ensure the pipe is cut perfectly square and check that the pipe diameter matches the fitting specifications (22mm or 10mm).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Tool-free, instant push-fit installation
  • WRAS and KITEMARK certified for safety
  • High pressure and temperature resistance
  • Clean white aesthetic for visible installations

Cons

  • Requires perfectly clean and deburred pipe ends
  • Not suitable for use with damaged or scored pipes
  • Permanent once connected, difficult to reposition

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Prepare the Pipe: Use a pipe cutter to ensure a square, clean cut. Use a deburring tool to remove all sharp edges or burrs from the pipe end.
  2. Clean the Surface: Ensure the pipe is free from paint, grease, or debris for at least 50mm from the end.
  3. Insertion: Push the pipe firmly into the fitting until it 'bottoms out' against the internal stop.
  4. Check the Connection: Pull back gently on the pipe to confirm the internal grab ring has locked onto the tubing.
  5. Maintenance: Periodically inspect exposed joints for signs of moisture or weeping, especially after initial system pressurization.
