Crimped Coupling Comap MultiSkin PPSU 16×16 – plumbing fitting

Comap MultiSkin PPSU crimped coupling 16×16 is a press-fit plumbing fitting intended for joining plastic and multilayer pipes in potable water and heating systems. Manufactured from PPSU (polyphenylsulfone), the coupling offers chemical resistance and dimensional stability across typical installation temperatures. Its 16×16 mm dimensions make it suitable for standard domestic and light commercial pipe networks where a compact, low-profile connection is required.

Advantages

The PPSU construction provides corrosion-free performance and good resistance to hot water and many common plumbing chemicals, contributing to long-term reliability. The crimped connection method creates a secure, leak-resistant joint when installed with compatible crimping tools and fittings. Compact size and standardized 16 mm dimensions allow straightforward integration with multilayer and plastic pipe systems without the need for soldering or solvent welding.

Suitable for

• Joining 16 mm plastic and multilayer plumbing pipes in potable water systems
• Connections in domestic and light commercial heating circuits
• Retrofit and new-build installations requiring press-fit joints
• Applications where chemical and thermal resistance are required

Key specifications

• Material: PPSU (polyphenylsulfone)
• Size: 16×16 mm
• Connection type: crimped / press-fit coupling
• Intended media: potable water and heating fluids
• Compatibility: designed for plastic and multilayer pipe systems of corresponding dimensions

How to use

Ensure pipe ends are cut square, deburred and clean before assembly. Slide the crimp sleeve or ring (as required by the system) over the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the coupling until it reaches the internal stop, and position the sleeve over the fitting area. Use the appropriate crimping tool calibrated for 16 mm fittings to compress the sleeve uniformly, forming a permanent mechanical seal. After crimping, visually inspect each joint and perform pressure testing according to local regulations to confirm leak-free installation.

Usage recommendations

Use with compatible Comap MultiSkin or equivalent multilayer and plastic pipes and the manufacturer-recommended crimping tools and sleeves. Avoid exposure to open flame or direct intense heat during installation. For system longevity, follow local plumbing codes for pressure testing, thermal expansion allowance, and water quality considerations.
