Description
What is this Bonfix Alu-Press tee fitting 16 mm?
The Bonfix Alu-Press tee fitting 16 mm (16 x 16 x 16 mm) is a brass press fitting designed to create a branch in multilayer pipe systems (Alu-PEX). With this alu-press tee fitting, you can connect three pipes of equal diameter in a reliable and leak-free way.
This 16 mm tee fitting is commonly used in drinking water, heating, and cooling installations where branch connections are required.
This tee fitting is also referred to as a 16 mm Alu-Press tee fitting or multilayer pipe tee fitting, and is widely used in both residential and light commercial installations.
The fitting is made of high-quality brass and features a stainless steel press sleeve with an EPDM seal. This ensures a durable, leak-free connection that can withstand high pressure and temperature.
Bonfix alu-press fittings are equipped with a Leak Before Pressed (LBP) function, meaning unpressed connections will leak during pressure testing. This allows installers to detect missed connections before the system is put into operation.
Why choose an Alu-Press tee fitting?
An Alu-Press tee fitting is used to split a pipe into two directions and create branch connections within a piping system.
Compared to other connection methods, press fittings offer:
- fast and efficient installation
- reliable and leak-free connections
- no soldering or threading required
- long-term durability
The 16 mm tee fitting is ideal for distributing water or heat to multiple points in smaller installations.
Features of the Alu-PEX system
The Alu-Press system combines several material advantages:
- flexibility of plastic (PEX)
- stability of aluminum
- corrosion resistance of brass
This makes alu-press couplings, tee fittings, and other fittings highly suitable for modern installations.
This fitting is suitable for multilayer pipe 16 × 2.0 mm and is an essential component in complete piping systems.
Applications
This Bonfix 16 mm tee fitting is used in:
- drinking water installations
- central heating systems
- underfloor heating
- cooling systems
- compressed air systems
The 16 mm tee fitting is typically used for branch connections in smaller pipe systems. It is often combined with other alu-press fittings and couplings to build a complete system.
Advantages of this Bonfix Alu-Press tee fitting 16 mm
- easy creation of branch connections
- fast installation with press tools
- leak-free and durable connection
- suitable for drinking water and heating
- corrosion-resistant brass
- compatible with multiple press profiles (TH, H and U)
- long service life
Using press fittings significantly reduces the risk of installation errors.
Installation and assembly advice
For proper installation:
- Cut the multilayer pipe straight
- Calibrate and deburr the pipe
- Insert the pipe fully into the fitting
- Press using suitable press tools
- Visually check the connection
Always use a suitable multilayer pipe 16 mm to ensure optimal and leak-free system performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Alu-Press tee fitting?
An Alu-Press tee fitting is a press fitting used to split a multilayer pipe (Alu-PEX) into two directions, creating a branch within a piping system. The connection is made using a press tool, which ensures a permanent, secure, and leak-free joint. Tee fittings are widely used in heating, drinking water, and cooling installations where reliable pipe distribution is required.
Which pipes are Bonfix Alu-Press tee fittings suitable for?
Bonfix Alu-Press tee fittings are designed for multilayer pipes (Alu-PEX) with specific outer diameters such as 16 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 26 mm, 32 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, and 63 mm. It is essential that the fitting size matches the pipe exactly. Always use compatible pipes from the multilayer pipe range to ensure a proper and leak-free installation.
What does “Leak Before Pressed” (LBP) mean?
“Leak Before Pressed” (LBP) is a safety feature that ensures a fitting will leak if it has not been pressed. This makes it immediately visible during pressure testing if a connection has been missed. As a result, installation errors can be quickly identified and corrected before the system is put into operation.
Do I need special tools to install a tee fitting?
Yes, installing an Alu-Press tee fitting requires a suitable press tool compatible with the system. In addition, a pipe cutter and calibration tool are needed to prepare the multilayer pipe correctly. Using the correct press profiles (such as TH, H, or U) ensures a secure, durable, and leak-free connection.
What is the difference between a press fitting and a compression fitting?
A press fitting is permanently connected using a press tool, while a compression fitting is mechanically tightened. Press fittings offer faster installation, lower risk of leaks, and are maintenance-free. Compression fittings may require retightening over time.
Where are Alu-Press tee fittings used?
Alu-Press fittings are used in drinking water systems, central heating installations, underfloor heating, cooling systems, and utility projects. They are essential for distributing water or heat through multiple branches in a piping system.
Can I create a branch without a tee fitting?
In most cases, a tee fitting is the safest and most reliable way to create a branch in a piping system. Alternative methods are not suitable for multilayer pipe systems. A press tee fitting ensures a precise, leak-free, and durable connection that meets installation standards.
Which other fittings are used together with a tee fitting?
A tee fitting is typically combined with elbow fittings, straight couplings, reducers, and wall plates to create a complete piping system. View the full range of compatible components here: alu-press fittings
When do you use a 16 mm Alu-Press tee fitting?
A 16 mm Alu-Press tee fitting is mainly used in residential installations for creating branch connections to taps, radiators, and sanitary fixtures. This size is ideal for smaller pipe systems where flexibility and ease of installation are important. Always combine this fitting with a suitable multilayer pipe 16 mm to ensure a reliable and leak-free connection.
