Reducing press-fitting tee Comap MultiSkin brass/tinned 26x20x26

The reducing press-fitting tee Comap MultiSkin brass/tinned 26x20x26 is a three-way plumbing fitting designed to create a reliable press-fit connection between pipes where one branch has a smaller diameter. Manufactured from brass with a tin-plated surface, this fitting is intended for potable water and central heating systems where corrosion resistance and long-term performance are required. The MultiSkin press geometry provides a leak-proof joint without the need for soldering, reducing installation time and heat exposure to surrounding materials.

Advantages

The Comap MultiSkin reducing tee combines the mechanical strength of brass with a tinned surface that enhances corrosion resistance and contact protection. Press-fit installation ensures consistent joints and reduces the risk of human error compared with traditional soldering methods. Its reducing design allows for a smooth transition between pipe diameters while maintaining hydraulic integrity. The fitting is compatible with common press tools and jaws designed for MultiSkin fittings, providing straightforward integration into existing plumbing and heating workflows.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water distribution
• Central heating and radiator connections
• Plumbing repairs and retrofit projects where a reduced branch is required
• Installations where solder-free press connections are preferred

Key specifications

• Connection type: press-fit (MultiSkin press geometry)
• Dimensions: main run 26 mm × branch 20 mm × run 26 mm
• Application: potable water and central heating systems
• Compatibility: designed for use with compatible press tools and jaws for MultiSkin fittings

How to use

Ensure pipes are clean, straight, and cut square before insertion. Deburr the pipe ends and verify they meet the required insertion depth marks or specifications for MultiSkin fittings. Slide the fitting onto the pipes and position it so the press area aligns with the tool jaws. Use an appropriate press tool and jaws compatible with MultiSkin fittings to make the press connection, following the tool manufacturer's instructions and safety procedures. After pressing, visually inspect the joint to confirm a complete crimp and check for leaks under system pressure.

Usage recommendations

Store fittings in a dry environment to preserve the tinned surface. For installations in aggressive environments or where additional protection is required, consider system-level corrosion control measures. Always use certified press tools and calibrated jaws specified for MultiSkin fittings and perform pressure testing after installation in accordance with local codes and standards.
