Comap pressed reducing tee 32x3–20x2–32x3, copper press fitting

Comap pressed reducing tee 32x3–20x2–32x3 is a copper press fitting designed to create a branch with a reduced diameter in press-fit plumbing systems. It is intended for use with copper piping in potable water and heating installations where a reliable, durable connection is required. The fitting enables a smooth transition between pipes of different diameters while maintaining the integrity of the press joint and minimizing flow disturbances.

Advantages

The pressed reducing tee offers a corrosion-resistant copper construction and a press-fit end geometry compatible with standard press tools and jaws, providing fast, solder-free installation. Its reducing design allows integration of a smaller-diameter branch without additional adapters, reducing the number of joints and potential leak points. The component is suitable for repeated thermal cycles typical in heating systems and for continuous use in potable water distribution.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water distribution
• Heating system piping and distribution manifolds
• Plumbing installations requiring a reduced-diameter branch

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Connection type: press-fit on all ends
• Dimensions: main run 32 mm outer diameter with 3 mm wall thickness; branch 20 mm outer diameter with 2 mm wall thickness
• Application: potable water and heating systems
• Compatibility: designed for use with standard copper press tools and compatible press jaws

How to use

Prepare copper pipes by cutting squarely, deburring the inner and outer edges, and cleaning the tube surface at the connection points. Insert the pipes fully into the press fitting until they reach the internal stop. Position the appropriate press jaw over the fitting end and actuate the press tool according to the tool manufacturer's instructions to form a permanent, leak-resistant joint. Repeat the process for the remaining ends, taking care to inspect each press connection visually and, where required, perform pressure testing in line with local regulations.

Usage recommendations

Use with compatible press tools and jaws sized for 32 mm and 20 mm copper tubing. Follow applicable plumbing codes for potable water and heating installations, and perform pressure testing after installation. Avoid exposure to aggressive chemicals or environments that could accelerate corrosion. For best results, ensure proper pipe preparation and use manufacturer-recommended procedures for press connections.
