Product Information

Full details

The Plumbright Slip Tee Valve is an ideal solution for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to create precise, valved offshoots from a 22mm mainline. Its primary benefit is a rapid, solder-free push-fit installation, though users should ensure they are using the correct 1/4" OD tubing to maintain a leak-free seal. This reliable component is specifically designed for domestic and light commercial plumbing, offering high durability and safety standards for your internal water or heating systems.

FAQs

Can I use this for gas lines?

No, this valve is designed for domestic plumbing and heating water systems only and must not be used for gas applications.

Is the valve reusable?

While the push-fit design allows for disassembly, it is recommended to use new O-rings or replace the fitting if it has been installed for a long period to prevent potential leaks.

What tools do I need for installation?

You only need a pipe cutter to ensure a clean, square cut on the 22mm pipe.

Will this fit standard copper or plastic pipe?

This fitting is designed for standard 22mm plumbing pipes; ensure your pipe type is compatible with push-fit standards.

Is it safe for drinking water?

Yes, as the product is WRAS approved, it is suitable for use with potable (drinking) water systems.

Troubleshooting

Valve leaking at the connection point

Remove the pipe, ensure the end is cut perfectly square, and remove any burrs with a deburring tool before re-inserting.

Difficulty inserting pipe into the push-fit port

Ensure the pipe is not deformed and that you are pushing straight into the fitting without angling the pipe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Tool-free push-fit installation saves significant time
  • No open flame or hot work permits required
  • Fully certified to UK industry standards (WRAS/KITEMARK)
  • Clean, professional appearance for visible pipes

Cons

  • Limited specifically to 22mm mainlines and 1/4" OD tubing
  • Requires proper pipe preparation to ensure push-fit seals
  • Not suitable for high-pressure industrial applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the 22mm pipe is clean and free of paint or debris. Cut the pipe squarely and remove any sharp edges. Push the valve firmly onto the pipe until you feel it seat against the internal grab ring. Compatibility is restricted to 22mm mainline pipes and 1/4" outside diameter tubing. For care, avoid using abrasive cleaners on the valve body. Periodically check the connection for any signs of moisture, especially after the initial 24 hours of operation to ensure the seals are correctly seated and the system is operating at the desired pressure.
