Tee 88.9 x 76.1 x 88.9 brown / glossy, model 2218XL 354411

Robust Connection in Installation Systems

This press-fit tee from the Sanpress XL series is a key component for installations requiring large diameters and high mechanical strength. Made from raw bronze, this product (model 2218XL) is ideally suited for heating, water supply, and process circuits where the working pressure reaches 16 bar at temperatures up to 20°C. Its design enables safe joining of pipes with diameters of 88.9 mm and 76.1 mm, making it indispensable in complex distribution systems.

Thanks to the SC-Contur contour, installation is fast and repeatable. This system eliminates the risk of errors during pressing – the tool automatically detects correct compression of the fitting. Inside each branch, EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene) rubber seals ensure tightness even under demanding thermal and chemical conditions. The seal material is resistant to aging and maintains flexibility across a wide temperature range, from -25°C to +110°C.

Applications and Installation Benefits

This component is designed for press-fit joining of system pipes. It requires no additional sealants or installation pastes – sealing is achieved solely through precisely matched metal rings and rubber inserts. This solution accelerates the installer's work while guaranteeing long-term durability of the connection.

• Dimensional versatility: The tee accommodates three branches with outer diameters: two at 88.9 mm and one intermediate branch at 76.1 mm.
• Space optimization: Working lengths of the connections are precisely matched (62 mm for the 88.9 mm branches and 67 mm for the 76.1 mm branch), facilitating planning of installation routes in tight technical spaces.
• Corrosion-resistant material: The raw bronze construction is naturally resistant to water corrosion, which is crucial in heating and domestic hot water installations.
• Operational safety: A maximum working pressure of 16 bar allows the use of this component in most standard building installations without the need for additional overpressure protection.

Dimensions and Construction Details

When planning installation routes, it is important to consider the specific dimensions of each branch of this tee. The 76.1 mm branch features a slightly greater overall length (120 mm) and deeper pressing depth (67 mm) compared to the two remaining 88.9 mm branches, which have an overall length of 115 mm and a pressing depth of 62 mm. This differentiation results from the design of the press fitting sleeve tailored to the respective system pipe diameter.

This component is not a multi-part product – it is a solid body made from a single piece of material, which increases its rigidity and resistance to vibrations passing through the installation network. The EPDM seals are an integral part of the press fitting sleeve construction and do not require replacement during standard installation. As a result, the installation process is clean and fast – simply measure the pipe, cut it perpendicular to the axis, and press it using the dedicated XL diameter head.
