Description
This premium 90° reducing compression tee is designed for secure, leak-resistant junctions in polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene random copolymer (PPR) pipe systems. It allows you to connect three pipes at right angles while stepping down to a smaller branch size, making it ideal for creating take-offs, secondary lines and distribution points.
Engineered for durability and reliable performance under pressure, this reducing tee is widely used in irrigation networks, potable water distribution, agricultural layouts and light industrial pipework. A range of size combinations ensures compatibility with common main and branch pipe diameters, simplifying new installations and system modifications.
Product Features
- 90° reducing tee configuration for branching from a larger main line to a smaller take-off.
- Suitable for polyethylene (PE) and PPR pipe systems in water distribution and irrigation applications.
- Available in popular size combinations including 25 x 20 x 25 mm, 32 x 25 x 32 mm, 40 x 32 x 40 mm, 50 x 25 x 50 mm, 50 x 32 x 50 mm and additional reducing sizes to suit your layout.
- Compression connection design for secure, mechanical joints without the need for heat fusion or specialist tools.
- Robust body and nut construction for long service life in demanding outdoor and plant-room environments.
- Precisely engineered internal components for consistent sealing and reliable performance under pressure.
- Compatible with cold water and irrigation media within the recommended pressure and temperature ranges of PE and PPR systems.
Key Features and Benefits
- Enables simple branch connections, allowing you to feed secondary lines or zones from a main pipeline without complex fittings.
- Reducing design helps optimise system flow and pressure by correctly matching branch pipe diameter to demand.
- Compression assembly allows quick installation and maintenance using basic hand tools, reducing downtime and labour costs.
- Durable construction offers excellent resistance to corrosion and many common agricultural and environmental conditions.
- Reliable sealing system helps minimise leakage risk, protecting equipment, structures and surrounding ground.
- Wide size range provides flexibility for new builds, extensions and repairs in both small-scale and larger distribution systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this reducing compression tee be used with both polyethylene and PPR pipes?
Yes, the fitting is designed for use with compatible polyethylene (PE) and PPR pipe systems. Always check that the pipe dimensions and pressure ratings match the fitting specification and follow recognised installation practices for the chosen pipe material.
Do I need special tools to install this compression tee?
No specialist fusion or welding equipment is required. Installation typically only needs basic hand tools to cut the pipe squarely and tighten the compression nuts to the recommended torque, ensuring the pipe is fully inserted to the correct depth before tightening.
Is this fitting suitable for hot water applications?
This reducing compression tee is generally intended for cold water and irrigation duties within the usual operating ranges for PE and PPR systems. For hot water or elevated temperature use, you should confirm the specific temperature and pressure limits for both the pipework and fittings and ensure they are suitable for your application.
