The LavaPlumb Copper Pressfit Reducing Tee branches from a main copper pipe run to a smaller diameter outlet. How to read the size: The size is quoted Left x Centre(Branch) x Right. The centre figure is the branch outlet - the smaller dimension. The left and right figures are the two main run ends. For this fitting that is 22 x 15 x 15mm (L/C/R). All three ports are M Profile press connections. Press each one individually with a compatible press gun and the correct jaw size for that port. You need a separate jaw for each different diameter - confirm you have both jaw sizes before starting. EPDM O-Ring on every port: Deburr all pipe ends and insert to depth before pressing. A burr on the pipe end is the most common cause of a failed press fit seal. Unpressed joints leak at your pressure test before any pipework is concealed. WRAS Approved. DVGW Approved. BSI Approved. 16 bar from -24 deg.C to 110 deg.C. BS EN 1057 R250 and R290 compatible. 25-year guarantee.
