GF+ Aquasystem PP-R Male Threaded Tee 20 mm - 1/2″
GF+ Aquasystem PP-R Male Threaded Tee 20 mm - 1/2″ — A tee that continues the main line welded to the pipe while providing a nickel-plated brass male-threaded outlet in the middle. It is used to take a branch directly off the line to a female-threaded valve or fixture.
Applications
- Female-threaded valve and tap branches
- Fitting female-threaded equipment on the line
- Installation test points
Key features
- Nickel-plated brass male thread on the branch (BSPP-G)
- Main line for socket fusion welding
- PN25 pressure rating

Socket fusion welding times
| Pipe diameter | Welding depth (mm) | Heating (s) | Joining time (s) | Cooling (min) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ø20 | 14 | 5 | 4 | 2 |
Values per DVS 2207-11 at +20 °C ambient and 260 °C heating tool temperature. Below +5 °C, extend the heating time by about 50%. Heating time starts when pipe and fitting are fully seated on the heating dies; during the joining time the parts may be aligned axially without twisting.
Installation tips
- Cut the pipe square with a pipe cutter and mark the welding depth on the pipe.
- Push pipe and fitting onto the heating dies at the same time without twisting; when the heating time is over, join them quickly and axially.
- Do not twist the parts after the joining time; do not pressurize the line before the cooling time has passed.
- When tightening a threaded joint, hold the brass part with a wrench; do not apply torque to the PP-R body. Use hemp or sealing tape on the thread.
- Pressure-test the installation before closing walls or screed.
