The Plumbright 22x15x22mm Reducing Tee is an essential plumbing component for DIY enthusiasts and professional plumbers alike, designed to facilitate a secure, leak-free branch connection between 22mm and 15mm pipework. This push-fit connector streamlines the installation process by eliminating the need for soldering or specialized tools, making it an ideal choice for both rapid repairs and new installations in domestic heating or water systems, though it is specifically intended for use with compatible piping materials only.

Yes, this push-fit tee is designed to be compatible with most standard plumbing pipe materials; however, always ensure you use the correct pipe inserts if using plastic pipe.
While the fitting can be removed using a release tool, it is generally recommended to use new fittings for critical connections to ensure the integrity of the O-ring seals.
No, the primary benefit of this fitting is its tool-free installation. You only need a pipe cutter to ensure a clean, square end on your pipe.
This fitting is designed for standard domestic hot and cold water systems, which typically operate well within the pressure and temperature ratings provided by its WRAS certification.
It is perfect for branching off a main 22mm distribution pipe to create a smaller 15mm feed for specific fixtures like taps, radiators, or appliances.
Check if the pipe is fully inserted. Ensure the pipe end is not scratched or damaged; if it is, trim the pipe back to a clean section and re-insert.
Use a specialized collet release tool designed for push-fit fittings to compress the internal teeth, then pull the fitting off the pipe.
To ensure a secure connection, verify that your pipe ends are cut square and are free from burrs or sharp edges that could damage the internal O-ring seal. Clean the pipe exterior thoroughly before pushing it into the fitting until you feel the pipe bottom out. Ensure the pipe is fully inserted to engage the internal grab ring. For long-term maintenance, perform a pressure test immediately after installation to verify the seal. Avoid using petroleum-based lubricants or harsh chemical cleaners on the exterior, as these can compromise the integrity of the polymer housing over time.
