Compression reducing tee Comap MultiSkin brass/tinned 26x16x26 mm

Compression reducing tee Comap MultiSkin brass/tinned 26x16x26 mm is a three-way compression fitting made of brass with a tinned surface finish. It creates a sealed mechanical transition between 26 mm and 16 mm pipes using compression joints, and is intended for use in plumbing and heating systems as well as potable water installations. The design supports retrofit and repair tasks where a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection is required without soldering or flaring.

Advantages

The compression reducing tee offers a compact form and durable brass construction with a tinned finish to improve corrosion resistance and facilitate long-term operation in domestic and commercial systems. Its compression-style connection provides a mechanical seal that can be installed with common hand tools, reducing installation time compared with welded or soldered joints. The fitting accommodates different pipe diameters while maintaining flow continuity and pressure integrity.

Suitable for

• Plumbing distribution lines in residential and commercial buildings
• Heating circuits and radiator connections
• Potable water supply and domestic hot water systems
• Repair, retrofit or extension of existing pipe runs

Key specifications

• Material: brass with tinned surface finish
• Connection type: compression joint
• Pipe sizes: reducing tee for 26 mm to 16 mm transition (26x16x26)
• Configuration: three-way (tee) fitting

How to use

Prepare the pipe ends by cutting square and deburring to ensure proper seating of the compression rings. Slide the compression nut and ring onto the pipe, insert the pipe into the fitting until it reaches the stop, then tighten the nut hand-tight and finish to the recommended torque with appropriate wrenches to form a secure compression seal. Installations should follow local plumbing codes and the pipe manufacturer’s instructions; verify alignment and pressure test the system after assembly to check for leaks.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use compatible pipe materials and ensure the compression rings and nuts are the correct type for the pipe wall thickness. Avoid over-tightening which can damage seals; perform a pressure test after installation and inspect periodically for signs of corrosion or loosening in systems carrying potable water or heating fluids.
