Compression reinforcing sleeve Comap for flexible pipe 16–18 mm, model 9216016

Compression reinforcing sleeve Comap for flexible pipe 16–18 mm, model 9216016 is a metal sleeve designed to reinforce and provide a secure compression connection for flexible plumbing pipes with an outer diameter of 16–18 mm. The sleeve adds mechanical support at joints and fittings, reducing deformation of soft tubing and improving the stability of connections in domestic and light-commercial installations. Constructed from corrosion-resistant metal, it is intended for use where added rigidity and a reliable sealing surface are needed on flexible lines.

Advantages

The reinforcing sleeve offers uniform compression around the pipe, which helps prevent kinking and maintains consistent seating of fittings. Its metal construction increases durability compared with non-reinforced solutions, providing long-term mechanical support at connection points. The slim design allows installation in confined spaces while ensuring a stable interface between the flexible pipe and compression fittings.

Suitable for

• Reinforcing flexible water supply lines with 16–18 mm outer diameter
• Providing support for compression fittings in plumbing and heating systems
• Repairing or upgrading soft pipes at joints to prevent leaks and deformation
• Use in tight installation spaces where a compact reinforcing sleeve is required

Key specifications

• Material: corrosion-resistant metal suitable for plumbing use
• Compatible pipe outer diameter: 16–18 mm
• Function: mechanical reinforcement and compression support
• Design: slim profile for confined spaces and standard compression fittings

How to use

Slide the reinforcing sleeve over the prepared end of the flexible pipe so that it sits fully inside the compression fitting area. Ensure the pipe end is cut square and free from burrs before insertion. Assemble the compression fitting according to the fitting manufacturer’s instructions and tighten to the recommended torque to achieve a reliable seal. Verify alignment and check for leaks after pressurizing the system.

Usage recommendations

Use the sleeve only with flexible pipes within the stated 16–18 mm diameter range. Do not overtighten compression nuts beyond recommended torque values to avoid damaging the sleeve or pipe. Inspect the sleeve and joint periodically for signs of corrosion or wear, and replace if any damage is detected.
