Useful Information
What is a Speedfit Reducing Tee Used For?
The John Guest Speedfit Reducing Tee 90° is a specialised plumbing fitting designed for connecting pipes of different diameters at a 90-degree angle. This fitting is crucial in plumbing systems where a smaller diameter pipe branches off from a larger one, or vice versa. It's commonly used in both hot and cold water systems, as well as central heating systems. The reducing tee is ideal for retrofitting and upgrading existing plumbing, as well as for new installations where pipes of varying sizes need to be seamlessly integrated. Its push-fit design allows for easy installation and demounting, without the need for tools, making it a practical choice for both professional and DIY applications.
