Reduced Compression Tee for PE Tube | Polypropylene Fitting PN16

The 90° Reduced Tee Compression Fitting is a specialized bypass component, designed to create a smaller diameter secondary ramp from a polyethylene (PE) main line. This connection allows you to structure your hydraulic networks with precision by managing the section reductions directly at the bifurcation point. Made of high-density polypropylene, it ensures a smooth and safe flow transition, which is essential for optimising pressure and flow within your facilities.

Sealing technology: Lubricated and captive seal

This reduced tee has been engineered to provide a seamless mounting experience, even in demanding working environments like wet trenches or confined spaces. It incorporates state-of-the-art technical features:

• Lubricated Seal : Facilitates the insertion of PE tubing by limiting friction, preventing the risk of pinching or tearing of the seal during assembly.
• Captive design : The seal remains perfectly attached to the fitting body throughout handling, eliminating assembly errors and accidental loss of components at the bottom of the excavation.

Clamping ergonomics and mechanical resistance PN 16

The implementation of this fitting is optimised by its ergonomic high-strength nut . Its geometry has been designed to offer a firm grip, allowing the necessary tightening torque to be achieved manually or with a suitable wrench without excessive effort. This design ensures a homogeneous and powerful compression of the clamping ring on the tube, guaranteeing a PN 16 bar certified seal capable of resisting vibrations and ground movements.

Concrete application cases

In a concrete case of agricultural irrigation, this reduced tee allows you to divide a 40mm main pipe to supply a 32mm or 25mm secondary line dedicated to a specific irrigation sector. For example, it is the ideal accessory for installing a bypass point to a technical room or a bleed valve from a riser. Its polypropylene structure gives it total immunity to corrosion and excellent resistance to UV rays.

Low maintenance and industrial reliability

Opting for this reduced compression tee means choosing a durable solution that requires no maintenance after installation. The absence of metal components eliminates any risk of oxidation or scaling, preserving water quality and network efficiency. Its proven robustness makes it a valuable ally for drinking water supply, swimming pool circuits and geothermal networks, ensuring constant waterproofing year after year.
