PPR Tee
This tee is joined only by socket fusion to PP-R pipe of the same outside diameter, so it gives a permanent joint that cannot be taken apart. Where the line has to connect to a tap, a valve or metal pipework, a threaded transition fitting is needed.

Description and application
The THERMALINO PPR tee is a PN25 socket fusion fitting made of PP-R. It splits a hot water, cold water or heating line into three directions and comes in sizes Ø20 to Ø63. It conforms to EN ISO 15874-3 and has an operating temperature of 70 °C, with a maximum of 95 °C.
The PPR Tee from the THERMALINO Eternal line is a T-shaped fitting that takes a branch off a PP-R pipeline. It splits the flow from one pipe into two, or brings two flows together into one. It is made from prime-grade polypropylene random copolymer (PP-R, type 3) supplied by leading polymer producers. It conforms to EN ISO 15874-3, the part of the standard that covers fittings for hot and cold water installations. The tee is rated PN25, with an operating temperature of 70 °C and a maximum of 95 °C. This makes it suitable for drinking water, domestic hot water and heating lines in houses, apartment buildings and commercial buildings. It is available in Ø20, Ø25, Ø32, Ø40, Ø50 and Ø63, in white, grey and green, so it can match the pipe it is fitted to. The allowable pressure at each temperature and the service life values are given in the technical data sheet. The tee is installed by socket fusion. A fusion tool heats the pipe end and the tee socket at the same time. The two parts are then pushed together and the material fuses into one homogeneous joint, with no threads, seals or solvent. The fitting is made to fuse well with THERMALINO PP-R pipes, which gives the finished installation a long service life. Heating times and socket depths for each size are given in the technical data sheet and the fusion tool instructions. Because a fused joint is permanent, the position of the branch is set before fusing. Connections to taps, valves or metal pipework are made with threaded transition fittings.

Questions
- How do I join three PP-R pipes at one branch point in a hot and cold water installation using a PPR tee?
- A PPR tee joins three PP-R pipes at one branch point by socket fusion, with each pipe end fused into one of the tee's three sockets. On the fusion tool, the pipe end and the tee socket are heated together, then pushed straight together and held until the joint has set. The result is one homogeneous joint with no threads, seals or solvent. The THERMALINO PPR Tee is available from Ø20 to Ø63. The heating times and socket depths for each size are given in the technical data sheet. The work is done by an installer with a suitable socket fusion tool.
- What does a PPR tee do in a domestic plumbing or heating system, and where is a tee fitting needed?
- A PPR tee takes a branch off a PP-R pipeline, so one supply line can feed two directions or two lines can merge into one. A tee is used wherever a line has to serve another outlet. Typical examples are a bathroom or kitchen branch taken off a riser, a radiator connection taken off a heating circuit, or a branch to another floor or zone in a larger building. The THERMALINO PPR Tee is made of PP-R and rated PN25, with an operating temperature of 70 °C and a maximum of 95 °C.
- How do I choose the right PPR tee size for a PP-R pipe line, and which size matches a 1/2 inch plumbing line?
- A PPR tee is chosen by the outside diameter of the PP-R pipe it joins, because a socket fusion joint only works between a pipe and a fitting of the same outside diameter. PP-R pipe is identified by its outside diameter in millimetres. A line usually called 1/2 inch in PP-R is the Ø20 size. The THERMALINO PPR Tee is available in Ø20, Ø25, Ø32, Ø40, Ø50 and Ø63.
- Can a PN25 PPR tee be used on domestic hot water and central heating lines, or is it only for cold water?
- The THERMALINO PPR Tee is rated PN25 and can be used on domestic hot water and central heating lines as well as cold water. Its operating temperature is 70 °C and its maximum temperature is 95 °C. It conforms to EN ISO 15874-3, which covers fittings for hot and cold water installations. The pressure a PP-R system can carry falls as the temperature rises. The allowable pressure at each temperature and service life is given in the technical data sheet, and the pipe chosen must suit the same conditions.
- Which PP-R pipes should a PPR tee be fused to, and which standard does the fitting meet in a hot and cold water system?
- The THERMALINO PPR Tee is made to be fused to THERMALINO PP-R pipes of the same outside diameter. It is made from prime-grade polypropylene random copolymer (PP-R, type 3) that fuses well with those pipes and gives the installation a long service life. The fitting conforms to EN ISO 15874-3 for plastics piping systems in hot and cold water installations. It comes in white, grey and green to match the pipe line.
