Description
This premium PVCu reducing tee is a robust, plain-ended metric fitting designed to connect three pipes of different diameters in a single, compact junction. Manufactured from high-quality unplasticised PVC, it provides a reliable solution for creating branch lines or reducing flow in pressurised and non-pressurised pipework.
Lightweight yet durable, this reducing tee offers excellent chemical resistance and is easy to handle, cut and solvent-weld on site. Ideal for use in industrial, process, water treatment and general plumbing installations, it supports a wide range of pipe sizes, including 25 x 20mm, 32 x 20mm, 32 x 25mm, 40 x 20mm and 40 x 25mm, plus many additional metric combinations.
Product Features
- Plain-ended metric reducing tee for solvent-weld jointing in rigid PVCu pipe systems.
- Available in multiple size combinations, including 25 x 20mm, 32 x 20mm, 32 x 25mm, 40 x 20mm, 40 x 25mm and many other options.
- Manufactured from high-grade unplasticised PVC (PVCu) for strength and dimensional stability.
- Lightweight construction for easy handling, transport and installation in confined spaces.
- High resistance to a wide range of chemicals commonly used in industrial and process applications.
- Smooth internal bore to help minimise pressure loss and maintain efficient flow.
- Suitable for use with compatible metric PVCu pipework and solvent cements.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reduces pipework quickly and neatly by combining different diameters in a single fitting, saving space and reducing the number of joints required.
- Lightweight PVCu design helps reduce installation time and labour costs compared with metal fittings.
- Excellent chemical resistance makes it suitable for many corrosive or aggressive media, helping to extend system life.
- Plain ends provide secure, permanent joints when used with appropriate solvent cement, helping to minimise leaks.
- Corrosion-free material resists rust and scale build-up, maintaining long-term flow performance.
- Metric sizing ensures compatibility with standard PVCu pipe systems used across industrial, commercial and domestic installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this PVCu reducing tee be used with hot water systems?
This fitting is generally intended for cold or moderately warm liquids within the temperature limits specified for PVCu systems. It is not suitable for high-temperature hot water or steam service. Always check the operating temperature range of your PVCu pipework before installation.
How do I connect the plain ends of the reducing tee to the pipe?
The plain ends are designed for solvent-weld jointing. Cut and deburr the pipe, dry-fit to check alignment, then apply a suitable PVCu cleaner and solvent cement according to the cement manufacturer’s instructions before assembling and allowing the joint to cure.
Is this reducing tee compatible with all metric PVCu pipes?
The tee is designed for use with standard metric PVCu pressure or process pipes of the matching nominal sizes. Ensure that the pipe standard, pressure rating and dimensions are compatible with your system before use.
