Reducing press-fitting tee Comap 32x3–26x3–32x3, model 7130RW322632

Comap reducing press-fitting tee 32x3–26x3–32x3 is a copper plumbing fitting designed to create a reduced outlet from a larger supply line. The fitting uses a press-fit connection to join 32x3 supply pipes with a 26x3 branch without soldering, providing a compact transition for potable water and heating systems. Its geometry supports a stable flow path while accommodating a change in diameter, making it suitable for installations where a smaller branch is required from a standard supply run.

Advantages

The press-fit design provides fast, consistent joints that do not require open flame or flux, reducing installation time and fire risk. Copper construction ensures corrosion resistance and compatibility with potable water and central heating systems. The reducing tee maintains hydraulic integrity at the transition point and offers leak-tight connections when installed with approved pressing tools and rings. Its standardized dimensions allow straightforward integration into common copper piping networks.

Suitable for

• Creating a 26x3 branch from a 32x3 supply line in residential plumbing
• Retrofit and new-build heating system installations
• Potable water distribution systems requiring solder-free connections
• Commercial installations where quick press-fit joins are preferred

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Connection type: press-fit
• Supply diameter: 32 x 3 mm
• Branch diameter: 26 x 3 mm
• Configuration: reducing tee (supply–branch–supply)

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting square and deburring both the 32x3 supply pipes and the 26x3 branch pipe. Slide the correct press-fit sealing ring or O-ring (as specified by the press system) onto the pipe, insert each pipe fully into the fitting until it seats, and use the compatible pressing tool and jaw to form the joint. Verify each pressed connection visually and by testing the system for leaks according to local regulations and installation standards. Follow the press tool manufacturer's instructions and the fitting manufacturer's recommendations for compatible pressing rings and tool settings.

Usage recommendations

Use only approved pressing rings and jaws matched to the press system and this copper fitting. Perform a pressure test after installation and avoid mechanical stress at the joint during system commissioning. For mixed-material systems, use appropriate transition fittings and follow local codes for potable water and heating installations.
