Securplumb WRAS Equal Tee End Feed

Securplumb WRAS Equal Tee End Feed – Professional Copper Tee Fittings (Pack of 10)

High-Integrity Copper Equal Tees for Potable Water and Heating Installations

The Securplumb WRAS Equal Tee End Feed series is designed for precision and reliability in a wide range of domestic and commercial plumbing and heating systems. Manufactured to meet high industry standards, these fittings allow for the secure joining of three equal-diameter copper pipes, enabling directional flow transitions with efficiency and long-term performance.

Made from high-grade copper and tested for compliance with WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) certification, these tees are ideal for systems carrying potable water. The end feed design supports secure soldered joints, making it suitable for concealed and exposed applications alike.

Available Sizes and Technical Specifications

Each fitting is uniformly machined to ensure accurate, gap-free joints, providing leak resistance and optimal solder flow.

Key Features

WRAS Certified

Each tee fitting is certified by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS), ensuring it meets UK standards for use in drinking water systems. This certification confirms that the materials used will not adversely affect water quality or safety.

High-Quality Copper Construction

Fabricated from premium copper, these fittings offer exceptional resistance to corrosion, scale buildup, and wear. The material ensures optimal thermal and pressure performance in high-demand environments.

End Feed Connection

The end feed design supports secure, permanent connections using solder and flux. This technique delivers a robust, watertight seal, particularly suited to central heating and potable water systems.

Equal Tee Configuration

This fitting provides a three-way connection where all outlets are of equal diameter. It is typically used for splitting a flow path or joining pipes into a main line, ensuring consistent flow rates and hydraulic balance.

Applications

• Potable water supply systems

• Closed-circuit central heating systems

• Hot and cold water distribution

• Underfloor heating layouts

• Plumbing branch configurations in residential and commercial buildings

• Boiler and manifold installations

Whether you’re installing a new system or performing maintenance on existing copper pipework, Securplumb Equal Tee End Feeds provide the reliability professionals demand.

Installation Guidelines

1. Pipe Preparation

   • Ensure pipe ends are cut square and burr-free.

   • Clean external pipe surfaces and internal fitting sockets using abrasive cloth or wire wool.

2. Flux Application

   • Apply a thin, even coating of WRAS-approved flux to both the pipe and fitting.

   • Avoid excessive flux to prevent contamination of the water supply.

3. Assembly

   • Fully insert the pipe into the fitting until it bottoms out, ensuring a tight fit.

   • Align all three connections accurately before soldering.

4. Soldering

   • Use a suitable torch to evenly heat the joint.

   • Feed solder into the joint as the metal reaches working temperature.

   • Allow the solder to capillary into the fitting and seal fully.

5. Finishing

   • Let the joint cool naturally.

   • Wipe off any remaining flux with a clean, damp cloth to prevent corrosion.

Note: Always follow local water regulations and ensure joints are tested for leaks before pressurising the system.

Product Care and Handling

• These fittings are intended for single-use only due to the permanent nature of soldered joints.

• Store in a dry, clean environment to prevent oxidation of the copper surface.

• Inspect fittings before use to ensure they are free from deformation or debris.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is an Equal Tee fitting used for?
A: An Equal Tee connects three pipes of the same size, allowing a single supply line to split or combine flow in different directions at 90-degree angles.

Q: Can these fittings be used for drinking water systems?
A: Yes. These fittings are WRAS approved, making them suitable and safe for potable water applications.

Q: Is it necessary to use flux with these end feed fittings?
A: Yes. A WRAS-approved flux is essential to ensure proper solder adhesion and joint integrity.

Q: Are these fittings reusable?
A: No. Once soldered, these fittings are considered permanent and should not be reused.

Q: Are these fittings compatible with press or push-fit systems?
A: No. These are designed specifically for copper pipe soldering using end feed techniques.
