Description
This premium 90° compression tee fitting provides a secure, leak-resistant branch connection in polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene random copolymer (PPR) pipe systems. Designed for straightforward installation, it allows you to create right-angle junctions without hot work or specialist tools.
Ideal for irrigation networks, potable water distribution and fire-fighting ring mains, this compression tee offers reliable performance in demanding environments. Available in a range of metric sizes from 20mm to 50mm, with additional larger diameters, it is suitable for both new installations and extensions to existing pipework.
Product Features
- 90° tee configuration for creating right-angle branch connections in pipelines.
- Compatible with polyethylene (PE) and PPR pipes commonly used in water and irrigation systems.
- Available in 20mm, 25mm, 32mm, 40mm and 50mm sizes, plus four additional larger diameters for higher flow applications.
- Compression joint design with nut, grab ring and sealing components for a secure mechanical connection.
- Suitable for cold water, irrigation and many fire-fighting system installations, subject to system design and approvals.
- Robust body construction for long-term use in above-ground and buried pipework.
- Designed for straightforward assembly with standard hand tools, no heat fusion required.
Key Features and Benefits
- Enables quick creation of branch lines without cutting in complex fittings or using specialist welding equipment.
- Compression coupling system provides a tight, reliable seal to help minimise leakage and water loss.
- Supports efficient water distribution in agricultural, commercial and industrial networks by allowing flexible system layouts.
- Mechanical joint design allows disassembly and adjustment, making maintenance and future modifications easier.
- Durable materials offer resistance to corrosion and many common environmental conditions for long service life.
- Range of metric sizes helps match existing pipework, simplifying retrofits and extensions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which pipe materials can this compression tee be used with?
The fitting is designed for use with polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene random copolymer (PPR) pipes. Always ensure the pipe is of a compatible pressure rating and dimension series before installation.
Do I need any special tools to install the compression tee?
No specialist tools are usually required. The pipe should be cut clean and square, then inserted according to the manufacturer’s instructions, with the compression nuts tightened using appropriate hand tools to the recommended torque.
Can this fitting be used for hot water applications?
This compression tee is primarily intended for cold water, irrigation and similar services. For hot water use, check the temperature and pressure ratings of both the fitting and the pipe system and confirm suitability with your system designer or engineer.
