Branch tees

Tapping t-pieces are designed for integration into press-fitting systems, enabling the connection of ALPEX pipes with varying diameters and the installation of heating elements. These components are commonly used in hydronic heating systems, underfloor heating, and plumbing applications where a branch connection is required without disrupting the main flow. The t-pieces are constructed to maintain system integrity and ensure leak-free operation under standard operating conditions.

Each tapping t-piece features a 40 mm spacing between outlets, making it suitable for precise placement of heating elements or additional pipe runs. The design ensures compatibility with press tools and standard installation procedures.

How to choose

• Verify the nominal diameter of the main pipe and the branch to ensure correct dimensions (e.g., 16 x 16 x 16 mm).
• Confirm compatibility with press tools and the type of press fitting used in the system.
• Check the material specifications: the body is made of nickel-plated brass (CW617N), with a stainless steel sleeve and EPDM sealing ring for durability and thermal resistance.
• Ensure the operating temperature does not exceed +120 °C, as specified for this range.
