Reducing tee 20-16-20 Uponor S-Press Plus 1070568

Reducing tee for Uponor S-Press Plus systems – a reliable connection in the installation

This reducing tee from Uponor, with catalog number 1070568, is a key element of the S-Press Plus system, designed to connect multilayer pipes of different diameters. It allows for effective transition from a 20 mm diameter pipe to a 16 mm diameter pipe and back to 20 mm, which is particularly useful when branching the installation or connecting devices with different connection diameters. Made of dezincification-resistant brass (DZR) and tin-plated, it provides long-lasting protection against corrosion and guarantees reliable operation for years.

Design and practical application

This tee is characterized by a bending angle of 90 degrees, which facilitates its installation in tight spaces. The use of DR brass (dezincification-resistant) in combination with tinning of the surface ensures high corrosion resistance, even in difficult operating conditions. Therefore, the tee is ideal for both drinking water installations and heating systems. The maximum working pressure is 10 bar at 20°C, which confirms its strength and safety of use.

• Diameter reduction: allows connection of pipes with different diameters (20-16-20 mm), which increases the flexibility of the installation.
• Material: dezincification-resistant brass (DZR) with tinning – a guarantee of durability and corrosion resistance.
• Clamps: clamping sleeves provide a tight and durable connection without the need for additional tools other than the S-Press Plus system.
• Versatility: suitable for drinking water installations (up to 70°C) and heating (up to 80°C).
• Compatibility: fully compatible with other elements of the Uponor S-Press Plus system, which facilitates the modernization of existing installations.

Design features for professionals

The Uponor S-Press Plus reducing tee is distinguished by its precise workmanship and attention to detail. The steel clamping sleeve with an inspection hole allows for visual control of the connection correctness, and the unique clamping execution indicator confirms its tightness. Additionally, easy diameter identification and a leak test indicator facilitate the work of installers and minimize the risk of errors during assembly. Working lengths of connections are 14 mm for a diameter of 20 mm and 36 mm for a diameter of 16 mm, which should be taken into account when planning the installation. The three-stage installation process simplifies assembly and reduces working time.
