Female Tee 22mm - 3/4" 22mm

The EXF5-T22x3/4Fx22 press fitting is a versatile plumbing component designed to connect 22mm pipes to 3/4-inch female-threaded components, while also providing a 22mm pipe connection on the other side. This fitting uses press-fit technology, a modern and efficient method of connecting pipes without the need for soldering, heating, or sealing materials like PTFE tape. Below is a detailed explanation of the fitting's features, applications, and benefits.

Key Features and Description:

1. Material:

   • The EXF5-T22x3/4Fx22 press fitting is typically made from brass or stainless steel, which are durable, corrosion-resistant materials commonly used in plumbing and heating systems.
   • These materials are selected for their strength and ability to withstand high pressures, temperature fluctuations, and aggressive water conditions, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.

2. Size and Configuration:

   • T22 refers to the 22mm pipe connection. This side of the fitting is designed to securely connect to 22mm pipes, which are commonly used in domestic and commercial plumbing systems, such as water supply lines, heating circuits, and radiators.
   • 3/4F refers to the 3/4-inch female-threaded connection on the other side of the fitting. The internally threaded side is designed to connect to 3/4-inch male-threaded components, such as valves, pumps, faucets, or other plumbing fixtures that require a 3/4-inch male thread.
   • This configuration provides a seamless solution for systems that require 22mm pipe connections along with a 3/4-inch female-threaded connection for attaching to other threaded plumbing components.

3. Press-Fit Technology:

   • Press-fit technology is the key feature of this fitting. It allows for a fast, secure, and leak-proof connection without the need for soldering or threading.
   • The fitting is installed by using a press tool, which compresses the fitting onto the pipe, creating a tight, permanent seal. This eliminates the need for heat, flux, solder, or sealing compounds like PTFE tape, making it a cleaner and quicker installation process.
   • The press-fit connection is highly reliable and durable, designed to withstand high-pressure water systems and temperature changes.

4. Applications:

   • The EXF5-T22x3/4Fx22 press fitting is designed to connect 22mm pipes to 3/4-inch male-threaded components. Typical applications include:
     • Underfloor Heating (UFH): Connecting 22mm pipes to 3/4-inch male-threaded manifolds, valves, pumps, or control systems.
     • Central Heating Systems: Connecting 22mm pipes to 3/4-inch male-threaded radiator valves, thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs), or other heating components.
     • Domestic Plumbing: Connecting 22mm pipes to 3/4-inch male-threaded components such as faucets, taps, or other plumbing fixtures in larger plumbing systems.
   • This fitting can be used in both residential and commercial systems where 22mm pipe connections and 3/4-inch threaded connections are required.

5. Advantages:

   • Quick and Easy Installation: The press-fit system allows for faster installation compared to traditional methods like soldering, which often require extra time for heating and cooling. Pressing the fitting onto the pipe takes only seconds with the proper press tool, making it ideal for time-sensitive projects.
   • Leak-Proof and Secure: Once installed, the fitting creates a permanent, leak-proof seal that remains secure over time, even under high pressure and temperature fluctuations.
   • Corrosion Resistance: The brass or stainless steel materials used in this fitting are resistant to corrosion, ensuring longevity and reliable performance in systems exposed to moisture, heat, and various chemicals.
   • Cleaner and Safer Installation: The press-fit method eliminates the need for open flames or soldering, reducing the risk of fire hazards or accidents during installation. It also ensures a cleaner working environment without the need for flux, solder, or sealing compounds.

6. Compatibility:

   • The EXF5-T22x3/4Fx22 press fitting is compatible with a variety of pipe materials, including copper, PEX, and multilayer pipes. This makes it suitable for use in a wide range of plumbing and heating systems.
   • The 3/4-inch female-threaded connection side is designed to fit 3/4-inch male-threaded components, such as valves, radiators, manifolds, or faucets. This ensures compatibility with commonly used plumbing fixtures in residential and commercial systems.
