Reduction Tee Comap MultiSkin press-fit brass/tinned 20x16x16

The Comap MultiSkin press-fit reduction tee in brass with a tinned surface, size 20x16x16, is a press-fit plumbing fitting engineered to join pipes where a smaller branch is required. It provides a solder-free connection compatible with press-fit systems and is suitable for potable water and heating applications in residential and light commercial installations. The tinned surface enhances corrosion resistance and supports reliable mechanical joins when used with the appropriate press tools and rings.

Advantages

This reduction tee offers the advantage of press-fit installation, eliminating the need for soldering and reducing installation time. The brass construction with a tinned finish improves corrosion resistance and extends the component’s service life in typical water and heating systems. The reduction design enables straightforward transitions between 20 mm main runs and 16 mm branches while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for tight spaces.

Suitable for

• Potable cold and hot water distribution in residential buildings
• Heating system pipe runs and branch connections
• Renovation projects where solder-free joining is preferred
• Plumbing applications requiring compact fittings for limited-access areas

Key specifications

• Material: brass with tinned surface
• Connection type: press-fit
• Sizes: main run 20 mm, branch 16 mm (20x16x16)
• Application: potable water and heating systems
• Installation: intended for use with compatible press tools and rings

How to use

Prepare tubing by cutting squarely and deburring the ends to ensure full insertion. Slide the compatible press ring into position and insert the pipe into the fitting until it seats against the internal stop. Use the manufacturer-recommended press tool and jaw for the specified pipe sizes, and perform the press cycle according to tool instructions. Verify each joint visually and, where applicable, perform pressure testing of the system following local regulations and industry standards.

Usage recommendations

Use only press rings and tools compatible with Comap MultiSkin press-fit fittings and follow manufacturer guidance for press depth and tool settings. Avoid exposing the fitting to aggressive chemicals or environments outside the intended use for potable water and heating systems. For long-term reliability, perform pressure tests after installation and inspect joints periodically in accordance with local plumbing codes.
