The Prima Plus Chrome Compression Reduced Tee is designed for professional plumbers and serious DIYers looking for a reliable, high-quality solution for branching pipework in domestic and commercial water or gas systems. This 22mm x 22mm x 15mm fitting offers the key benefit of a secure, tool-operated connection without the need for soldering or hazardous heat applications, though it requires precise pipe preparation to ensure a leak-free seal at the compression points.

This compression fitting is designed for copper pipe. If using plastic pipe, you must use a suitable pipe insert to prevent the pipe from collapsing under compression.
No. Compression fittings create a seal via the olive and the internal seat; PTFE tape on the threads does not contribute to the seal and is not required.
It is recommended to replace the olive if the fitting is dismantled, as the olive will have deformed during the initial tightening process.
Yes, as a high-quality brass fitting conforming to EN 1254 and WRAS standards, it is safe for use in drinking water systems.
While the rating depends on the pipe and the specific application, this fitting is engineered to exceed standard residential pressure requirements for both gas and water.
Gently tighten the compression nut by an additional quarter turn. Do not over-tighten as it may crush the olive.
Check the end of the copper pipe for burrs or deformation. File the end until it is smooth and circular.
Ensure the pipe is pushed fully home into the tee and that the olive is square against the fitting seat.
To install, slide the compression nut and the olive onto the copper pipe, insert the pipe fully into the tee, and hand-tighten the nut. Use two adjustable spanners—one to hold the body of the tee and the other to tighten the nut—applying approximately three-quarters of a turn beyond hand-tight. For maintenance, keep the fitting clean of debris during installation; avoid using excessive jointing compounds, as they are unnecessary for compression fittings and can compromise the seal. Periodically inspect the joint after the first few hours of operation to ensure no weepage has occurred under pressure.
