Reducing press-fit tees create a branch connection while changing from a larger pipe size to a smaller outlet or continuation. They are useful where the required flow reduces downstream or where a smaller branch serves an individual component or circuit.
Each of the three connection sizes must be checked carefully, along with fitting material, seal type and approved press profile. The reducer should be selected from the same compatible system as the connected pipework.
Cut and prepare each pipe end correctly, insert it fully and press every socket using the specified tool and jaw. The fitting and adjoining pipework should be supported to avoid stress around the branch.
Browse the reducing tees below alongside standard tees, couplings and elbows to create appropriately sized plumbing and heating pipe layouts. You may also find the related press-fit tees and press-fit couplings useful when completing the system.
