What is Reducing Tee 40x25mm local ?

 

• PPRC (Polypropylene Random Copolymer): This is the material. PPRC is a durable, non-toxic thermoplastic known for its excellent resistance to high temperatures and pressure.
• Reducing Tee: This is the type of fitting. A tee is a T-shaped connector with three openings. A “reducing” tee has a branch outlet that is smaller in diameter than the two main “run” outlets. It is designed to connect a main pipe to a smaller branch line.
• 40x25mm: These are the sizes of the connections. The first number, 40mm, refers to the diameter of the two main run outlets. The second number, 25mm, is the smaller diameter of the branch outlet. This means the fitting can connect a 40mm main pipe to a 25mm branch pipe.
• Local: This term specifies the origin of the product. “Local” in this context refers to manufacturers within Pakistan. The Pakistani market has a number of local manufacturers of PPRC pipes and fittings, such as International Industries Limited (IIL), Dadex, and Dura Max.
• GM: This likely stands for “Green Material” or “Green Mark.” It’s a way to distinguish the product from other types or materials.

Specification

• Material: Polypropylene Random Copolymer (PPRC), often referred to as PP-R.
• Size: 40mm x 25mm.
  • Main Run Diameter: 40mm.
  • Branch Outlet Diameter: 25mm.
• Connection Method: PPRC fittings are typically joined using a heat fusion process (also known as socket fusion or butt fusion). This involves a special welding machine that heats the outer surface of the pipe and the inner surface of the fitting simultaneously. This method eliminates the need for any chemical adhesives, gaskets, or threads, which can fail under high pressure or temperature.
• Pressure Rating: PPRC fittings are designed for high-pressure applications. The pressure rating is specified in “PN” (Nominal Pressure), usually PN20 or PN25, indicating a working pressure of 20 or 25 bars (around 290-362 psi) at a standard temperature of 20°C.
• Temperature Resistance: PPRC is rated to handle temperatures up to 95°C, making it suitable for both cold and hot water supply lines.

Usage

The primary usage of a PPRC Reducing Tee is to create a branch in a piping system where the branch pipe is of a smaller diameter than the main pipe. Its applications are diverse and include:

• Residential and Commercial Plumbing: Creating a T-junction to branch a main water supply line to a smaller line for a sink, toilet, or other fixture.
• Hot Water Systems: Connecting hot water pipes from a main boiler line to individual rooms or fixtures. The material’s high-temperature resistance is crucial for this.
• Industrial Applications: Used in various industries for the transport of high-temperature and chemical-resistant fluids.
