Angle Elbow 90° Press-Fit Female Thread Comap MultiSkin brass/tinned 16x1/2

Comap MultiSkin Angle Elbow 90° Press-Fit Female Thread in brass with tinned surface provides a compact right-angle transition between a 16 mm press-fit pipe and a 1/2" female threaded fitting. Designed specifically for press plumbing systems, this fitting combines a reliable press connection on the pipe side with a standard BSP female thread on the other, enabling a secure change of direction and a threaded interface in a single component. The tinned brass finish improves corrosion resistance and solderability where required by installation practices.

Advantages

This 90° angle elbow features a press-fit connection for quick, tool-assisted installation and a female BSP thread for compatibility with common threaded fittings and valves. The brass construction with a tinned surface increases durability and resistance to corrosion in potable water and heating applications. The compact design reduces installation space requirements at directional changes and helps create neat, accessible joints in domestic and light-commercial systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting 16 mm press-fit pipe to 1/2" threaded fittings at a right angle
• Internal cold and hot water supply systems
• Heating installations where a compact threaded transition is required
• Tight installation spaces behind fixtures, manifolds, or inside cabinets

Key specifications

• Connection 1: 16 mm press-fit
• Connection 2: 1/2" female BSP thread
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Material: brass with tinned surface
• Application: potable water and heating systems

How to use

Prepare the 16 mm pipe by cutting squarely and deburring the inner and outer edges. Insert the pipe fully into the press-fit end following the pipe marking or manufacturer guidance, then secure the joint with the appropriate press tool and jaw for 16 mm fittings. On the threaded side, apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape to the male thread of the mating component, then hand-tighten and finish with a wrench to the torque recommended for 1/2" BSP fittings. Verify alignment and check for leaks after system pressurization and commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Use only press tools and jaws compatible with 16 mm Comap MultiSkin fittings. Avoid exposing the fitting to aggressive chemicals or prolonged environments that exceed typical domestic water or heating system conditions. Follow local plumbing codes and pressure/temperature limits specified by the system designer or component manufacturer when integrating this elbow into potable water or heating installations.
