Compression fitting Comap MultiSkin brass/tinned press-fit GZ 16 x 1/2"

Compression fitting Comap MultiSkin brass/tinned press-fit GZ 16 x 1/2" is a press-join connector made of brass with tin plating, intended to join 16 mm plastic or multilayer piping to 1/2" threaded components. The fitting is designed for plumbing and heating installations and provides a mechanical seal by means of a press-fit operation, eliminating the need for soldering or adhesives. Suitable for potable water and central heating circuits, it ensures a stable threaded-to-pipe transition in confined installation spaces.

Advantages

The Comap MultiSkin press-fit compression fitting combines corrosion-resistant brass with a tin-plated surface for improved solderability and protection. Its press-fit design enables fast, consistent joints with reduced installation time compared to traditional methods. The product offers a reliable mechanical seal and compatibility with standard 1/2" threaded fittings, making it a practical component for both new installations and repairs. Compact dimensions allow use in tight spaces and minimize the need for additional access or repositioning of pipes.

How to use

Prepare the pipe end by cutting it square and removing any burrs or debris. Insert the pipe into the fitting until it reaches the internal stop. Position the appropriate press jaw over the fitting and operate the press tool according to the tool manufacturer's instructions to form the permanent joint. After pressing, verify the connection by performing a visual inspection and pressure test in accordance with local installation standards. For threaded connections, apply suitable thread sealant or tape to the male thread if required by the application, then tighten to the recommended torque.

Usage recommendations

Use pressing tools and jaws specified for MultiSkin fittings to ensure correct deformation and sealing. Follow applicable plumbing codes for potable water and heating installations, and perform pressure tests after installation. Store fittings in a dry environment to avoid surface contamination prior to installation.
