Securplumb Compression Elbow Tee

Securplumb Compression Elbow Tee – Precision Engineered 90° Tee Fittings for Complex Pipe Networks

The Securplumb Compression Elbow Tee is a highly versatile and robust plumbing fitting designed to connect three pipe sections at a 90-degree intersection. It is ideal for applications where space is limited, directional changes are needed, or multi-branching configurations are required in domestic or commercial pipe systems.

Available in 10mm, 15mm, and 22mm sizes, the Securplumb Elbow Tee enables secure connections without soldering, making it suitable for copper or plastic pipe installations where flexibility, speed, and flame-free solutions are essential.

Product Variants and Specifications

• Fitting Type: Compression Tee (90-degree configuration)

• Material: Durable brass construction for strength and corrosion resistance

• Pipe Compatibility: Copper and plastic pipe (with inserts for plastic)

• Angle Configuration: Elbow-shaped tee – connects pipes at a right-angle intersection

Key Features and Benefits

✔ 3-Way 90° Pipe Connectivity

The elbow tee enables precise directional control in plumbing layouts by joining three pipe sections—two in line and one at a right angle—perfect for creating multi-branch systems.

✔ Compression Design – No Heat Required

Enjoy clean, flame-free installation. Just tighten the compression nuts using standard tools—no need for soldering or adhesives, making it safe for confined or flammable areas.

✔ High-Performance Brass Body

Manufactured from solid brass, these fittings offer excellent durability, pressure resistance, and longevity in both potable water and sealed central heating systems.

✔ Compatible with Copper and Plastic

Easily connects to copper or plastic pipework. For plastic systems, simply use pipe inserts for a tight, secure fit.

✔ Leak-Free Reliability

The compression olive and nut system compresses around the pipe to form a watertight seal that withstands operational pressure and temperature changes.

✔ Compact Design

Ideal for installations in tight spaces where standard straight tees or elbows won’t fit.

Common Applications

• Hot and cold water systems

• Central heating circuits

• Radiator installations

• Bathroom and kitchen piping layouts

• Branching off a main water feed

• Creating compact pipe reroutes behind cabinets or walls

Size Suitability Guide

• 10mm: For microbore heating systems or tight installations

• 15mm: The most common domestic size for water and radiator piping

• 22mm: For higher flow areas, such as mains feeds, large radiators, or bath supplies

Installation Instructions

1. Prepare the Pipe

   • Cut the pipe square and remove burrs.

   • Clean pipe ends thoroughly.

   • Use pipe inserts with plastic pipe.

2. Assemble the Joint

   • Slide the compression nut and olive onto each pipe end.

   • Insert each pipe into the tee until fully seated.

   • Tighten each nut hand-tight, then use a spanner to tighten approximately one full turn. Avoid overtightening.

3. Check the System

   • Pressurize the system and inspect for leaks. If necessary, tighten slightly further until the seal is secure.

Maintenance & Handling

• Reusability: The brass body can be reused. Replace olives on reassembly for optimum sealing.

• Accessibility: Ensure fittings remain accessible where future inspection or service is needed.

• Clean Installation: Ensure pipe ends are clean and dry before assembly to prevent contamination or leaks.

• No Sealant Required: Do not use PTFE tape or sealant on compression threads, as the olive provides the seal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can this be used with plastic pipes?
Yes. Simply insert appropriate pipe inserts into plastic pipes before tightening to ensure a strong and secure seal.

Q: Is this fitting suitable for sealed central heating systems?
Yes, the compression elbow tee is robust enough for high-pressure heating systems and is commonly used in such applications.

Q: Does it require any special tools?
No special tools are required. A pair of adjustable spanners or compression spanners is all you need.

Q: Can I install this behind a wall or floor?
Only if an access panel is provided. Compression fittings must remain serviceable and accessible by plumbing standards.

Q: What material is the fitting made from?
The body is made from corrosion-resistant, high-quality brass for durability and performance.
