Compression coupling Comap MultiSkin brass/tinned 26x26 for plumbing connections

Compression coupling Comap MultiSkin brass/tinned 26x26 for plumbing connections is a mechanical fitting designed to join two 26 mm pipes in potable water and central heating systems. The coupling is made of brass with a tinned surface finish to improve corrosion resistance and ensure a durable metal-to-metal connection. It is intended for press-style compression installation that eliminates the need for welding or soldering, providing a straightforward solution for pipe joining in residential and commercial plumbing projects.

Advantages

The Comap MultiSkin 26x26 coupling offers reliable mechanical sealing through a compression/press fitting system that reduces installation time compared with traditional soldered joints. The brass construction with tinned coating enhances resistance to corrosion and extends service life where metallic durability is required. Its design allows consistent, leak-tight connections when installed with the correct tools and procedures, and it is compatible with common plumbing materials used in potable water and heating circuits.

Suitable for

• Joining two 26 mm copper or compatible metal pipes in potable water systems
• Connections in central heating circuits and radiator feeds
• Repair or modification works where a mechanical press/compression coupling is preferred
• Indoor plumbing installations requiring durable, corrosion-resistant fittings

Key specifications

• Material: brass with tinned surface finish for improved corrosion resistance
• Size: 26 x 26 mm for connecting two pipes of 26 mm outer diameter
• Connection type: compression/press-style mechanical coupling
• Application: potable water and central heating systems
• Sealing: mechanical sealing designed for leak-tight joints when installed correctly

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting square and deburring to ensure proper seating. Slide the compression components or press sleeve into position according to the manufacturer's instructions, then assemble the coupling over the pipe ends. Apply the specified press or compression tool uniformly until the fitting is fully engaged and the mechanical seal is formed. Verify alignment and inspect the joint visually and, where applicable, perform a pressure test to confirm integrity before commissioning the system.

Usage recommendations

Use the coupling with pipes that match the specified 26 mm outer diameter and follow the installation torque/pressing parameters recommended by the press tool and fitting manufacturer. Ensure compatibility with system fluids and operating temperatures typical for potable water and heating applications. Regular visual inspections and pressure testing after installation are advised to confirm a secure, leak-free connection.
