T-piece 76,1 x 54 x 76,1

Product detailed description

Reduced T-pieces are essential components in pressurised piping systems, particularly in heating and industrial applications. They are commonly used in closed systems such as central heating, refrigeration ductwork, fire suppression and air-conditioning installations. Installers working in commercial and industrial buildings often use these fittings to create branch connections in pressurised pipelines. The design allows for a reduction in one of the branch lines, making it suitable for systems where space or flow requirements vary between branches. The fitting is intended for use with press-to-seal connections and is compatible with Type M jaws for installation.

These fittings are often found in systems that require high mechanical strength and resistance to pressure. They are suitable for use with dry air, inert gases and water-based systems. The operating temperature range allows for use in both cold and warm environments, making them versatile for a range of applications. The material and sealing properties ensure reliable performance in pressurised environments.

The operating temperature range from -20 °C to +120 °C allows for use in both cold and hot systems. The nominal pressure rating of PN 16 and resistance to high pressures up to 16 bar are key factors in determining suitability for pressurised applications. These parameters are essential for ensuring the fitting can handle the expected load in the system without failure.Installation and connection This T-piece is installed using press-to-seal technology, which requires the use of compatible tools and jaws. The connection sizes are 76.1 mm, 54 mm and 76.1 mm, with press connections on all three ends. During installation, it is important to ensure that the jaws are correctly aligned and that the molding indicator is visible after pressing. Common installation mistakes include using incorrect tooling or failing to check the molding indicator, which can lead to leaks or poor sealing. The fitting must be installed in a straight line with the connected pipes to avoid stress on the joints.Compatibility and accessories This T-piece is compatible with press-to-seal systems and should be used with press tools and jaws of the correct size. It is not compatible with systems that require surface coating limiting agents or those that require certification for drinking water. No additional accessories are required for standard installation, but it is important to ensure that all connected pipes and fittings are also press-to-seal compatible.Technical background for designers This T-piece is made from galvanized carbon steel, which provides good mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion. The EPDM O-ring ensures a tight seal under pressure. The fitting is designed for integration into pressurised systems where a branch connection is required with a reduction in one of the branches. The operating temperature range and pressure resistance are key factors in determining the suitability for specific applications. The service life and efficiency of the fitting depend on the quality of the installation and the operating conditions of the system.Service and operation This T-piece requires no regular maintenance under normal operating conditions. However, it is important to periodically check for signs of wear, leakage or damage, particularly at the press connections. If any issues are detected, the fitting should be replaced immediately. No specific service intervals are provided for this product.Frequently asked questions
