End Feed Reducing Tee - Both Ends - 15Mm X 15Mm X 22Mm

End Feed Reducing Tee - Both Ends - 15Mm X 15Mm X 22Mm

The Copper End Feed Reducing Tee (15mm x 15mm x 22mm) is a crucial, high-quality copper fitting used in traditional plumbing and heating systems. This specific reducing tee is designed to integrate a larger 22mm branch into a standard 15mm pipe run, where the main run remains 15mm.

Key Features and Installation Details
Compliance: Manufactured to high industry standards (e.g., BS EN 1254) and typically WRAS Approved, ensuring reliability in both potable water and central heating systems.

Material: Constructed from durable Copper, providing a permanent, high-integrity connection when soldered correctly.

Configuration: Reducing Tee – Connects three copper pipes with the following arrangement:

Main Run Entry: 15mm

Main Run Exit: 15mm

Centre Branch: 22mm

Function: This fitting is ideal for installations where a high flow rate or a larger component (like a pump, a larger primary feed, or a quick fill/drain connection) needs to be branched onto an existing or smaller 15mm circuit.

Installation Method: End Feed – Requires heating with a blowtorch, and the application of flux and solder to achieve a permanent capillary seal.

The Installer's Advantage
This specific reducing tee allows installers to transition seamlessly from the highly common 15mm pipe to the next size up (22mm) for specific purposes, and then back down to 15mm to continue the primary run. It simplifies pipe transitions and avoids the need for multiple reducing bushings or couplings, resulting in a cleaner, faster, and more professional joint.

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

Pipe (15mm): Required for the main circuit (entry and exit): Copper Tube 15mm x 0.7mm 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: Required to complete the high-integrity seal: Lead-Free Solder 250g

Cleaning: Required for preparing pipe ends before fluxing: Steel Wool Pack (6oz)
