Brass tin-plated press-fit reducing tee Comap MultiSkin 20×20×16 mm

Brass tin-plated press-fit reducing tee Comap MultiSkin 20×20×16 mm is a compact plumbing fitting designed to create a reduced-diameter branch from a 20 mm main run to a 16 mm outlet. Manufactured from tin-plated brass for corrosion resistance and long service life, this reducing tee is compatible with press-fit MultiSkin systems and is intended for potable water, heating circuits and general domestic pipework where a reliable, leak-tight press connection is required.

Advantages

The tin-plated brass construction offers enhanced corrosion resistance compared with untreated brass, while preserving mechanical strength for press-fit installations. The reducing tee provides a space-efficient transition from 20 mm to 16 mm pipes, enabling straightforward branching without soldering or threaded connections. Compatibility with press-fit tools and MultiSkin press systems ensures consistent joint quality and reduces installation time in both new-build and renovation projects.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution in domestic and light commercial buildings
• Heating circuits and radiator connections
• Domestic pipework requiring a reduced-diameter branch
• Renovation projects where press-fit connections are preferred over soldering

Key specifications

• Material: tin-plated brass for corrosion resistance
• Configuration: reducing tee with two 20 mm inlets and one 16 mm outlet
• Connection type: press-fit suitable for MultiSkin press systems
• Application: potable water and heating systems, domestic plumbing
• Design: compact form factor for tight installation spaces

How to use

Ensure pipes are cut square, deburred and clean before assembly. Insert the appropriate 20 mm and 16 mm pipe ends into the corresponding press-fit sockets until the pipe reaches the internal stop. Use a compatible press tool and jaw suitable for the MultiSkin system to perform the press operation according to the tool and system manufacturer instructions. After pressing, verify the joint visually and, where applicable, perform a system pressure test to confirm leak-tightness prior to commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Use only press tools and jaws recommended for MultiSkin press-fit fittings and follow local plumbing regulations. For potable water installations, ensure materials meet required approvals and perform pressure testing after installation. Avoid mechanical stresses on the fitting during thermal cycles and secure pipes to prevent movement that could compromise joints.
