Copper-plated Brass Press Elbow 90° Comap 16x16 — MultiSkin (7090W16)

Press-fit 90° elbow Comap MultiSkin 16x16 is a compact brass fitting with copper-plated surface designed for reliable right-angle connections in potable water and heating systems. The fitting is manufactured from brass and finished with a copper/tinned MultiSkin coating to improve corrosion resistance and ensure consistent press-joint performance. It is sized for 16 mm pipe connections and intended for use with compatible press tools and rings to create permanent, leak-tight joints without soldering.

Advantages

The copper-plated brass construction combines the mechanical strength of brass with enhanced corrosion protection from the MultiSkin coating, reducing surface oxidation and extending service life in typical installation environments. Press-fit installation eliminates the need for heat or solder, enabling faster assembly and minimizing fire risk on site. The compact 90° geometry saves space and provides a clean, right-angle change of direction while maintaining flow characteristics suitable for potable water and heating circuits.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water distribution
• Hydronic heating systems and radiator connections
• Tight or confined installation spaces requiring a compact elbow
• Installations where press-fit joining is preferred over soldering

Key specifications

• Connection angle: 90° elbow suitable for right-angle direction changes
• Material: brass body with copper/tinned MultiSkin surface coating for improved corrosion resistance
• Pipe size compatibility: 16 mm pipe connections
• Joint type: press-fit compatible with industry-standard press rings and tools
• Application fluids: potable water and heating system fluids

How to use

Prepare pipes by cutting square and deburring internal and external edges. Mark insertion depth on the pipe, then slide the appropriate press sleeve or ring if required by the system. Insert the 90° elbow fully onto the pipe until the marked depth is reached. Position the press tool jaw centrally over the fitting's press area and actuate according to the tool manufacturer's instructions to form a permanent, leak-tight joint. Verify the press by visual inspection and pressure test the system in accordance with relevant standards and local regulations.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible press tools and certified press sleeves for reliable joints. Avoid using fittings with damaged coatings or deformed seating surfaces. Follow local plumbing codes for potable water and heating installations and perform leak and pressure tests after assembly.
