Plumbsure Brass Compression Equal Tee - 22mm X 22mm X 22mm

This fitting is specifically designed for 22mm copper pipes. Ensure your pipes are compatible and meet relevant standards.

No, this is a compression fitting and does not require soldering. It uses a compression nut and olive to create a seal.

Brass compression fittings are generally suitable for standard domestic hot and cold water systems, including central heating. Specific maximum pressure and temperature ratings depend on the manufacturer's specifications and installation, but they are designed for typical household ranges.

Tighten by hand until snug, then use two wrenches to turn an additional 3/4 to 1 full turn. Overtightening can damage the fitting or pipe, while undertightening can cause leaks. It's better to err on the side of slightly less tightening and check for leaks, then tighten a little more if needed.

No, this fitting is designed exclusively for 22mm copper pipes. Using it with plastic pipes will result in a faulty seal and likely leaks.

An 'Equal Tee' means that all three connection points on the fitting are the same size. In this case, all three are for 22mm pipes.

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting and the compression nut is tightened evenly. Check that the olive is correctly seated and has not been damaged. If the leak persists, the fitting or olive may need replacement.

Check for any debris or cross-threading on the nut and fitting. Ensure the pipe is perfectly round and free of indentations. Apply a small amount of appropriate pipe lubricant to the threads if necessary, but avoid getting lubricant on the olive or pipe end.

Minor external oxidation is normal for brass. If severe corrosion is present, inspect the integrity of the fitting. In most domestic systems, this does not affect performance, but consult a plumber if concerned about structural weakening.
