Tee fitting female thread Steel - 18 Rp1/2" 1509258005

Steel compression fitting tee – reliability and fast installation

This GW Steel tee, with a diameter of 18 mm and a Rp1/2" thread, is a key element of the KAN-therm Steel system, designed to create durable and safe connections in installations. Made of carbon steel, coated with a layer of zinc, it provides corrosion resistance and long-term reliability. It is ideal for both professional installers and end-users who value solid workmanship and ease of installation.

This tee combines the advantages of traditional steel fittings with modern compression technology, eliminating the need for welding or screwing elements. This makes installation faster, cleaner and more precise. The use of an EPDM gasket guarantees a tight connection, minimizing the risk of leaks.

Design and application

The GW Steel tee has connections in the form of clamping sleeves (DN15, 18mm) and an internal tapered gas thread BSPT-Rc (ISO 7-1 / EN 10226-1) with a diameter of 1/2 inch. This combination allows for flexible adaptation to various installation configurations and connection with other elements of the KAN-therm Steel system. The lengths of connections and working lengths have been precisely selected to ensure optimal clamping force during compression.

The fitting finds wide application in:

• Central heating installations

• Water supply installations

• Cooling installations

• Industrial installations

• Heating systems using various heat carriers

LBP function and safety of use

All elements of the KAN-therm Steel system, including this tee, are equipped with the LBP (Leak Before Press) function, which is a signal of uncompressed connections. This is an important convenience that allows for easy detection of errors during installation and prevents potential leakage problems in the future. In addition, the steel construction provides high mechanical strength and resistance to damage, which is particularly important in places exposed to intensive use or potential vandalism. The KAN-therm Steel system can operate at a pressure of up to 25 bar and a temperature of up to 200°C (when using appropriate crimping tools).
