The smallest size in the range, typically used for individual radiator, towel-rail or metering point connection in apartments and single-family houses, where a tap-in is needed on an existing DN15 steel main. Typical scenarios — adding a radiator to an old riser branch, connecting an individual meter or thermometer pocket, forming a drain or air-vent branch.
The tee is fitted with screws — the cutting element pierces the seal and enters the pipe wall, and the system does not need to be drained. Installation takes about 3-5 minutes, whereas the same job by welding or threading would take hours including the drain-down and refill cycle.

No. The T-Plus is installed with an ordinary spanner or torque wrench — no drilling equipment, no welding gear, no threading machine. The tee already contains a single-use cutting mechanism combined with the clamp seal, which pierces the pipe wall as the bolts are tightened.
Up to +120 °C. This covers classic district heating regimes (typically 90/70 °C), individual gas and solid-fuel boiler loops, and solar system branches. Higher temperatures (steam) — not suitable.
Yes, the cast iron T-Plus version is certified for potable water systems. For copper pipework use the brass T-Plus version — the cast iron variant is specifically for steel pipes.
The pipe surface at the clamping point must be clean (no paint, rust scale or insulation). Verify the wall thickness ≤ 2.0 mm. If the pipe is coated with a thick anti-corrosion paint layer, it must be cleaned down to bare metal at the clamp location.
