Tee with SC 22 x 28 x 22 copper / shiny, model 2418 Profipress 322687

Product Features

• Safe and durable connections in sanitary installations

This component of the Profipress system is a tee designed for connecting copper pipes of different diameters, making it a key element in creating branches in water supply, heating, and compressed air installations. Thanks to the use of SC-Contur technology, the manufacturer has raised the standard of installation safety – in the event that the pressing step is omitted, the connection remains leaky, allowing for immediate detection of the error during a pressure test. This is a crucial feature for installers, eliminating the risk of future failures and ensuring that every point of the system is properly sealed.

The material is pure raw copper, which guarantees corrosion resistance and longevity in contact with various media. The component handles three crimp coupling connections: two with a diameter of 22 mm and one with a diameter of 28 mm. This configuration allows for a smooth transition between pipes of different cross-sections without the need for additional reducers. Seals made of EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene) rubber ensure tightness over a wide temperature range and are resistant to aging, which is critical when working with hot water or heating media.

Application and Operating Conditions

The product is suitable for installations requiring high reliability and resistance to varying thermal conditions. Thanks to certifications (including DVGW), it can be used not only in drinking water systems but also in heating circuits and compressed air installations. The maximum working pressure is 16 bar at 20°C, and the allowable medium temperature reaches up to 110°C. In practice, this means the component operates without issues in typical central heating or domestic hot water (C.W.U.) systems, where cyclic temperature changes occur.

For professionals, installation is fast and repeatable – it only requires the use of dedicated pressing heads for the V contour. There is no need to use solder or specialized welding tools, which speeds up work on site and eliminates the risk of damaging pipes due to excessively high fire temperatures. The connection is mechanically durable and does not require periodic tightening or maintenance.

Dimensions and Assembly Details

When planning the installation layout, it is worth paying attention to the specific dimensions of this tee, which affect the way pipes are routed. The arms with a diameter of 22 mm have a total connection length of 47.5 mm, while the arm with the larger diameter of 28 mm is slightly shorter – 39 mm. Crucial for correct assembly is the depth of pipe insertion into the fitting before pressing: for the 22 mm arms, it is 25 mm, whereas for the 28 mm arm, this depth drops to just 15 mm. This differentiation results from the internal seals designed for the specific pipe diameter and requires precision when cutting materials before assembly.

This component is characterized by high operational durability thanks to the use of monomeric EPDM rubber as the sealing material and the V-type pressing contour (SC-Contur), which guarantees visual leak control after the connection is made. The scope of applications includes media such as drinking water, heating water, compressed air, and non-aggressive technical fluids, with the system operating stably at temperatures from -25°C to +110°C under a working pressure of up to 16 bar at room temperature. The entire unit is ready for immediate use after checking the cleanliness of the pipe ends and removing any burrs before assembly. The lack of need for additional reducing elements makes the system more compact and aesthetically pleasing once installed in a wall or technical cabinet.
