Product Information

Full details

The Plumbright 22x22x15mm Tube Tee Union is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to create a secure branch off a 22mm line. This fitting's primary benefit is its push-fit technology, which removes the need for torches, solder, or flux, significantly speeding up installation times. While it offers a clean white finish suitable for exposed piping, users should ensure the pipe ends are perfectly deburred to maintain an airtight seal, as rough edges can compromise the internal O-ring.

FAQs

Can I reuse this fitting?

While technically possible, it is recommended to use new fittings to ensure the internal O-ring seal maintains full integrity.

Is this fitting suitable for gas lines?

No, this product is designed specifically for water and heating systems and should not be used for gas.

Do I need to use jointing compound?

No, push-fit fittings rely on an integrated O-ring system and do not require any additional pastes or compounds.

What is the maximum temperature rating?

The fitting is rated for standard domestic hot water temperatures, but always check the specific data sheet for your system's peak operation.

Can this be used on plastic pipe?

This model is specifically designed for copper pipe; using plastic pipe may require a compatible internal support liner.

Troubleshooting

The fitting is leaking at the connection point

Remove the pipe and inspect the end for scratches or burrs. If the pipe end is damaged, trim it back to a clean section and re-insert.

Pipe will not insert fully into the fitting

Ensure you are using the correct pipe size and that there is no debris inside the fitting. Check that the pipe end is perfectly round and not flattened.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Tool-free installation saves significant time
  • No risk of fire hazards from soldering
  • Safe for use with WRAS-approved systems
  • Clean, professional appearance for visible pipework

Cons

  • Requires perfectly clean and burr-free pipe ends
  • Not intended for use with damaged or scored pipes
  • Higher unit cost compared to traditional copper solder fittings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a leak-free connection, follow these steps during setup:

  1. Cut: Ensure the pipe is cut square using a pipe cutter.
  2. Deburr: Use a file or de-burring tool to remove all sharp edges from the pipe end, as internal O-rings can be easily damaged by burrs.
  3. Mark: Measure the insertion depth and mark the pipe to ensure it is pushed in fully.
  4. Insert: Push the pipe into the fitting until you feel it hit the internal stop.

Compatibility: This fitting is designed for standard metric copper pipe. Always check that the pipe diameter is true and not ovalized before attempting to install.

Care: Avoid using abrasive chemicals or harsh scouring pads on the exterior of the fitting, as this may degrade the white finish. Inspect the connection after the first 24 hours of system pressure to ensure no weeping is present.
