Brass/SnCd Press Tee Comap MultiSkin 16 x 1/2 x 16 (press-fit female thread)

Brass/SnCd Press Tee Comap MultiSkin 16 x 1/2 x 16 is a press-fit tee made of brass with a tin‑cadmium (SnCd) coating that mimics solder properties without lead. It features two press-fit ends for 16 mm pipe connections and a central female threaded branch sized 1/2" for secure attachment of threaded fittings, valves or measurement devices. The fitting is intended for use in plumbing and heating systems where a reliable transition between press connections and a threaded outlet is required.

Advantages

The Comap MultiSkin press tee offers corrosion-resistant surface protection thanks to its tin‑cadmium coating, improving durability in water and heating circuits. The press ends provide fast, consistent, and leak‑resistant joints when used with compatible pressing tools and rings, reducing installation time compared with traditional soldered connections. The integrated female thread allows direct mounting of valves, gauges or branch fittings without adapters, simplifying system layout and minimizing potential leak points.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial plumbing supply lines
• Hot water and central heating distribution manifolds
• Connections to valves, pressure gauges and drain points
• Retrofit projects where transition from press to threaded fittings is required

Key specifications

• Material: brass body with tin‑cadmium (SnCd) corrosion‑resistant coating
• Connection types: two press-fit ends and one female threaded branch
• Dimensions: 16 mm (press) x 1/2" (female thread) x 16 mm (press)
• Use: suitable for potable water and heating systems when installed per applicable standards
• Compatibility: designed for use with Comap MultiSkin press fittings and compatible pressing tools and seals

How to use

Ensure piping and fittings are clean and free of debris. Slide the appropriate sealing element or press sleeve over the pipe end as required by the press system. Insert the pipe fully into each press end until it reaches the stop, and use a compatible pressing tool and the correct jaw/profile for 16 mm MultiSkin fittings to perform the press operation. For the female threaded branch, wrap the male thread of the mating component with appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape if required by the application, then tighten to the recommended torque for the connected component. Follow local plumbing regulations and manufacturer instructions during installation.

Usage recommendations

Use only approved pressing tools, jaws and seals specified for Comap MultiSkin fittings. Verify system pressure rating and water compatibility before installation. Do not expose the fitting to aggressive chemicals or environments outside the intended use. When connecting valves or instruments to the female thread, ensure proper sealing method and torque to avoid leaks.
