Steel GW tee - 54 Rp1" 1509258000

Steel press-fit tee – reliability and tightness

This KAN-therm Steel tee with a diameter of 54 mm and an internal thread Rp1” is an element of the KAN-therm Steel system, designed for connecting steel pipes in water supply, heating and technological installations. Made of galvanized steel, it ensures durability and corrosion resistance, and the press-fit technology guarantees quick and secure installation. A 90-degree angle allows for creating optimal connections in various installation configurations.

Design and application

This tee has connections in the form of crimp sleeves and an internal BSPT-Rc thread (ISO 7-1 / EN 10226-1). This allows connecting pipes of the same diameter and connecting elements with an external thread. It is ideal for branching installations, creating branches to heating devices, valves or other components. The galvanized steel it is made of provides high mechanical strength and resistance to external factors.

LBP function and benefits for the installer and user

A key feature of this tee is the LBP (Leak Before Press) controlled leakage function. This means that in the event of incorrect crimping of the fitting, a visible leak will occur during installation testing. This allows for quick identification and correction of the error, minimizing the risk of future failures. This is a huge advantage for both the installer – who can be sure of proper execution of the connection – and the end user – who gains a guarantee of a safe and reliable installation. Additionally, the O-ring seal provides extra connection tightness.

• Quick installation: Press-fit technology significantly speeds up the installation process compared to traditional welding or threading methods.
• High tightness: The LBP function and O-ring seal minimize the risk of leaks and ensure long-term installation reliability.
• Durability: Galvanized steel provides corrosion resistance and long element life.
• Versatility: Possibility of connection with steel pipes of the same diameter and elements with an external thread.
• Safety: The LBP function allows detection of installation errors during installation testing.
• Easy identification: Clear markings facilitate identification of the tee during installation and service.
