Ashirvad FlowGuard Plus CPVC Reducer Tee

Ashirvad FlowGuard Plus CPVC Reducer Tee combines branching and size reduction in a single fitting, allowing you to create a perpendicular branch connection while simultaneously reducing to a smaller pipe diameter. This fitting features two ports of the same size (typically for the main run) and one reduced-size port (for the branch), optimizing pipe sizing throughout the distribution system.
The precision-molded design ensures smooth flow transitions and minimal pressure drop at the junction point. Essential for creating properly sized branch lines from main distribution pipes, this reducer tee eliminates the need for separate tee and reducer fittings, simplifying installations and reducing potential leak points. Compatible with all Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC pipes when installed with recommended solvent cement.

Recommended Applications

Main to Branch Reduction: Creating smaller branch lines from larger main distribution pipes

Fixture Supply Lines: Reducing from 3/4″ main to 1/2″ fixture supply in single fitting

Multi-Bathroom Distribution: Branching to individual bathrooms with appropriate size reduction

Kitchen Plumbing: Creating reduced-size branches for individual fixtures from main supply

Manifold Systems: Building distribution manifolds with properly sized outlets

Space-Efficient Installations: Combining branching and reduction in tight spaces

Installation Guidelines

Size Verification: Confirm reducer tee size matches your pipe diameters (e.g., 3/4″ x 3/4″ x 1/2″ = two 3/4″ ports, one 1/2″ port)

Pipe Preparation: Cut all three pipes squarely; deburr and chamfer each pipe end at 10-15?

Dry Fit Check: Insert all pipes into tee sockets to verify proper fit and branch orientation

Solvent Cementing: Apply CPVC solvent cement to each pipe and socket; insert pipes one at a time with quarter turn

Alignment & Support: Ensure proper branch direction; install pipe clamps within 300mm of fitting
