This guide is for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to adapt pipe sizes in water supply systems. The Plumbright Compression Tee offers a reliable way to branch a 22 mm pipe into a 15 mm pipe while maintaining the 22 mm flow on the main line. Its primary caveat is the need for precise installation to prevent leaks. Key features include its robust construction for durability and its suitability for both hot and cold water systems.

The Plumbright Compression One End Branch Reduced Tee (22mm x 15mm x 22mm) is used to branch a 15mm pipe from a 22mm pipe, suitable for central heating and hot/cold water systems.
No, standard plumbing wrenches are typically sufficient for tightening the compression nuts. Ensure pipes are cut square and deburred.
This fitting is designed and rated for water systems (central heating, hot and cold water supplies) only. It is not suitable for gas applications.
Hand-tighten the nut first, then use two wrenches to tighten it further. For new olives, a common recommendation is 1/2 to 1 full turn after hand-tightening. Refer to manufacturer's guidelines if available to avoid overtightening or undertightening.
The tee has connections for a 22 mm pipe on one end of the main run, a 15 mm pipe on the branch, and another 22 mm connection on the other end of the main run.
Compression fittings can be removed, but the olive (the brass ring that compresses onto the pipe) is typically a one-time-use component. It is recommended to replace the olive if refitting.
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted and the olive is correctly positioned. Try tightening the compression nut slightly. If the leak persists, the olive may be damaged or the pipe end may be compromised; consider replacing the olive and re-fitting, or replacing the entire fitting.
Check that the pipe end is clean, round, and free from burrs or damage. Ensure the correct size pipe is being used for the fitting.
Verify that the compression nut has been adequately tightened according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the correct size olive is used for the pipe and fitting.
