Female Tee 28mm - 3/4" - 28mm

The EXF5-T28x3/4Fx28 press fitting is a high-quality, versatile plumbing component designed to connect 28mm pipes to 3/4-inch female-threaded components, while also incorporating a 28mm pipe connection on the other side. This fitting uses press-fit technology, a modern and reliable method for creating secure, permanent connections without the need for soldering, heating, or sealing materials. Below is a detailed description of its features, advantages, and applications.

Key Features and Description:

1. Material:

   • The EXF5-T28x3/4Fx28 press fitting is typically made from brass or stainless steel, both of which are corrosion-resistant, durable materials that perform well under high pressure and temperature conditions.
   • The materials ensure the fitting can withstand the stresses typically encountered in plumbing and heating systems, as well as exposure to moisture, chemicals, and aggressive water conditions.

2. Size and Configuration:

   • T28 refers to the 28mm pipe connection. The fitting is designed to connect securely to 28mm pipes, which are often used in domestic and commercial plumbing systems for larger water supply lines, heating circuits, or radiator connections.
   • 3/4F refers to the 3/4-inch female-threaded connection on the other side of the fitting. This side is internally threaded to accept 3/4-inch male-threaded components, such as valves, pumps, faucets, or other plumbing fixtures that require a 3/4-inch male thread.
   • The 28mm pipe connection on both sides of the fitting provides a seamless connection for systems requiring larger pipes, while the 3/4-inch female thread allows for easy attachment to various male-threaded components.

3. Press-Fit Technology:

   • The press-fit system is the standout feature of this fitting. It allows for a quick, secure, and leak-proof connection without the need for traditional methods like soldering, threading, or sealing with PTFE tape.
   • A press tool is used to compress the fitting onto the pipe, forming a permanent, tight seal. This method drastically reduces installation time and eliminates the risks associated with open flames or soldering.
   • Once the press-fit connection is made, it provides a leak-proof seal that can withstand high-pressure water systems and temperature fluctuations.

4. Applications:

   • The EXF5-T28x3/4Fx28 press fitting is designed for connecting 28mm pipes to 3/4-inch male-threaded components. Some common applications include:
     • Underfloor Heating (UFH): Connecting 28mm pipes to 3/4-inch male-threaded manifolds, valves, pumps, or other heating system components.
     • Central Heating Systems: Connecting 28mm pipes to 3/4-inch male-threaded radiator valves, thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs), or other components in heating circuits.
     • Domestic Plumbing: Connecting 28mm pipes to 3/4-inch male-threaded components such as faucets, taps, or other fixtures in larger plumbing systems.
     • Commercial Systems: The fitting is ideal for larger commercial plumbing systems where 28mm pipe connections and 3/4-inch threaded connections are required.

5. Advantages:

   • Quick and Easy Installation: The press-fit technology allows for faster installation compared to traditional soldering or threading methods. There's no need for heating, flux, solder, or sealing compounds like PTFE tape, making the process much cleaner and safer.
   • Leak-Proof and Permanent Seal: Once the fitting is pressed onto the pipe, it forms a secure, permanent, and leak-proof seal that is resistant to pressure and temperature changes.
   • Corrosion Resistance: The brass or stainless steel construction ensures that the fitting is resistant to corrosion, which is especially important in systems with aggressive water conditions or exposure to high temperatures.
   • Cleaner and Safer Installation: Since no open flame or soldering is required, the installation process is safer, reducing the risk of fire hazards or accidents. It also eliminates the need for messy flux or sealing tapes, ensuring a cleaner installation environment.

6. Compatibility:

   • The EXF5-T28x3/4Fx28 press fitting is compatible with various pipe materials, including copper, PEX, and multilayer pipes, making it suitable for a wide range of plumbing and heating applications.
   • The 3/4-inch female-threaded connection side is compatible with 3/4-inch male-threaded components, such as valves, faucets, pumps, or manifolds, making it a flexible and versatile option for connecting to different plumbing and heating components.
