Compressed branch fitting Comap 16x20x16 mm red press tee (model 733BEB-02)

Compressed branch fitting Comap 16x20x16 mm red press tee is a press-fit plumbing component designed to create a reliable branch connection in metal and multilayer pipe systems. The fitting has press ends sized 16 mm and a central branch of 20 mm, and its red external coating identifies it for installation zones where visual distinction is useful. It is intended for potable water and heating circuits and provides a solder-free joint method that speeds installation and reduces the need for hot works.

Advantages

The Comap press tee delivers a mechanical, leak-proof connection when installed with compatible press tools and jaws, eliminating the need for soldering or threaded joints. Its press technology ensures consistent compression of pipe and fitting for long-term tightness, and the red coating aids in quick identification during system layout or maintenance. The fitting is compatible with metal and multilayer pipes commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing and heating installations.

Suitable for

• Creating a branch in potable water distribution systems
• Connections in heating circuits and radiator feeds
• Residential and light commercial plumbing installations and repairs
• Situations where solder-free press connections are required or preferred

Key specifications

• Connection sizes: branch 20 mm, run ends 16 mm
• Press-fit joining method suited for compatible press tools
• External red coating for visual identification
• Suitable for use with metal and multilayer piping systems
• Designed for potable water and heating applications

How to use

Prepare the pipe ends by cutting squarely and deburring both internal and external edges. Insert the pipe fully into each press end until it reaches the internal stop. Select the appropriate press jaw for the 16 mm and 20 mm connections and position the tool so the jaw fully surrounds the fitting at the marked press zone. Activate the press tool to form the permanent compression joint according to the press tool manufacturer’s instructions. Verify each joint visually and, where applicable, pressure-test the system to confirm tightness before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Use only press tools and jaws specified for the press-fit system and pipe materials. Store fittings in a dry environment to preserve the external coating, and follow local codes for potable water and heating installations. Pressure-test after installation and inspect joints regularly as part of routine system maintenance.
