Description
PPR Reduced Tee
A PPR Reduced Tee, also known as a PPR Reducing Tee, is a three-way fitting used to create a branch connection from a main PPR pipeline where the branch pipe is smaller than the main pipe. It allows efficient water distribution while reducing the pipe diameter at the outlet, making it ideal for plumbing systems that require different flow capacities.
Manufactured from high-quality Polypropylene Random Copolymer (PPR), PPR reduced tees are installed using heat fusion welding to create strong, permanent, and leak-proof joints.
At Instefast, we supply premium-quality PPR reduced tees for residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial plumbing projects across Kenya.
