Unequal Tee 22-15-15mm

The EXF5-T22x15x15 Unequal Copper Tee 22-15-15mm is a press-fit fitting designed for plumbing and heating systems, offering an efficient way to connect 22mm pipes to two 15mm pipes at a 90-degree angle. This unequal tee fitting has one 22mm port (main trunk) and two 15mm side ports (branches), making it ideal for creating branch connections with size reduction in systems that require different pipe sizes.

Key Features and Description:

1. Material:

   • The EXF5-T22x15x15 Unequal Copper Tee is made from high-quality copper, a material widely used in plumbing and heating systems due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and excellent heat conductivity.
   • Copper is resistant to corrosion, scaling, and the growth of bacteria, ensuring long-lasting and reliable performance in both domestic and commercial plumbing systems.

2. Design and Configuration:

   • Unequal Tee Design: The fitting is an unequal tee with a 22mm trunk (main pipe) and two 15mm branches (side pipes). This design allows you to connect 22mm pipes to smaller 15mm branches, enabling the transition of water flow from a larger pipe to two smaller pipes.
   • 90-Degree Angle: The fitting changes the direction of the pipework by 90 degrees, ideal for navigating corners or making sharp turns in tight spaces.
   • Press-Fit Technology: The EXF5-T22x15x15 uses press-fit technology, which allows for quick and secure connections without the need for soldering, threading, or additional sealing materials like PTFE tape.

3. Press-Fit Technology:

   • The press-fit method provides a permanent and leak-proof seal by compressing the fitting onto the pipe using a press tool. This eliminates the need for heat, soldering, or threading, resulting in a faster, safer, and cleaner installation process.
   • The press-fit process ensures that the fitting provides a reliable connection, even under high-pressure or fluctuating temperature conditions, and it reduces installation time compared to traditional methods.

4. Applications:

   • The EXF5-T22x15x15 Unequal Copper Tee is ideal for applications where you need to create a branch connection from a 22mm pipe to two 15mm branches. Common applications include:
     • Domestic Plumbing: Connecting a 22mm main pipe to two 15mm branches that supply fixtures such as taps, sinks, or showers.
     • Underfloor Heating (UFH): Connecting a 22mm supply pipe to 15mm distribution pipes or radiators, where different pipe sizes are needed to branch off for heating circuits.
     • Central Heating Systems: Creating a branch from a 22mm main supply pipe to two 15mm radiator pipes or branch lines in a heating circuit.
     • Commercial Plumbing: Using the tee in commercial plumbing systems where a 22mm pipe is connected to 15mm pipes for various fixtures, such as sinks, faucets, and showers.

5. Advantages:

   • Quick and Easy Installation: The press-fit system allows for faster and safer installation compared to traditional methods, as it eliminates the need for open flames, soldering, or threading.
   • Leak-Proof and Permanent Seal: Once installed, the fitting creates a reliable, leak-proof seal that resists pressure and temperature changes, ensuring a secure connection over the long term.
   • Durable and Corrosion-Resistant: Made from copper, the fitting is naturally resistant to corrosion, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance even in water supply and heating systems exposed to varying water conditions.
   • Cleaner and Safer: The press-fit technology eliminates the need for heat and open flames, making it a cleaner, safer installation method compared to soldering or threading.

6. Compatibility:

   • The EXF5-T22x15x15 Unequal Copper Tee is designed for use with 22mm and 15mm copper pipes, making it suitable for use in a variety of plumbing and heating systems.
   • It is compatible with copper, PEX, and multilayer pipes when used with the appropriate press-fit adapters, offering flexibility for use in different types of installations.
