End Feed Reducing Tee - Branch - 28Mm X 28Mm X 22Mm

The Copper End Feed Reducing Tee (28mm x 28mm x 22mm) is an essential, high-quality component for robust, soldered plumbing and heating systems. This fitting is specifically designed to create a reliable branch connection, allowing a standard 22mm supply line to be taken off a high-volume 28mm main circuit.

Key Features and Installation Details
Compliance: Manufactured to high industry standards (e.g., BS EN 1254) and typically WRAS Approved, ensuring it is suitable for use with both potable (drinking) water and closed-loop central heating systems.

Material: Constructed from durable Copper, offering excellent longevity, superior heat transfer properties, and resilience against corrosion.

Configuration: Equal Run / Reduced Branch Tee – Connects three copper pipes with the following specific arrangement:

Main Run Entry: 28mm

Main Run Exit: 28mm

Centre Branch: 22mm

Function: Ideal for cleanly tapping off a 22mm flow/return line (e.g., to feed a pump station or a group of radiators) from the primary 28mm main distribution circuit.

Installation Method: End Feed – Installation requires the use of heat (blowtorch), flux, and solder to create a permanent, high-integrity capillary seal.

The Installer's Advantage
This dedicated reducing tee simplifies the process of branching off a main line. It provides a single, clean solution for tapping a smaller supply off a large circuit, which is faster and results in a more professional appearance than assembling the connection using multiple fittings.

Essential Companion Products (Copper System)
To successfully create a permanent, leak-proof soldered joint, the following linked materials are required:

Pipe (28mm): Required for the main circuit (entry and exit): Copper Tube 28mm x 0.9mm x 3m

Pipe (22mm): Required for the branch circuit: Copper Tube 22mm x 0.9mm x 3m

Flux: Essential for preparing the surfaces for soldering: LA-CO Soldering Flux 60g

Solder: High-quality, lead-free solder required to complete the seal: Lead-Free Solder 250g
