Compression fitting Comap TurboSKIN GW 16x2–1/2 (screw) — plumbing connection

Compression fitting Comap TurboSKIN GW 16x2–1/2 (screw) is a compact mechanical fitting for plumbing installations that connects 16x2 mm barrier or multilayer pipes to a 1/2" threaded outlet. Designed for water supply and heating systems, the fitting uses a screw-type compression joint to create a leak-resistant transition between the pipe and a female threaded component. The fitting is suitable for applications requiring a small footprint and a reliable pipe-to-thread connection without soldering or special tools.

Advantages

The Comap TurboSKIN GW compression fitting provides a secure mechanical seal through a screw-tightened coupling that ensures stable performance under normal domestic water and heating pressures. Its compact design facilitates installation in confined spaces and reduces the need for additional adapters. The screw connection simplifies assembly and disassembly for maintenance or replacement, while compatibility with standard 1/2" threaded outlets makes it suitable for many common plumbing components.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting 16x2 mm barrier or multilayer pipes to 1/2" female threaded valves and fittings
• Domestic cold and hot potable water supply systems
• Residential and small commercial heating circuits where a compact pipe-to-thread transition is needed
• Situations requiring screw-tightened mechanical joints for easier maintenance

Key specifications

• Pipe compatibility: 16 x 2 mm (barrier or multilayer pipes)
• Threaded outlet: 1/2" female thread
• Connection type: screw-compression mechanical joint
• Application: potable water and heating systems
• Design characteristic: compact form factor for tight installation spaces

How to use

Prepare the pipe end by cutting it square and deburring to ensure a clean seating surface. Slide the compression nut and ferrule onto the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the fitting body until it reaches the internal stop, then tighten the screw-nut by hand and finish with an appropriate wrench to the manufacturer's recommended torque for a leak-resistant joint. Check the assembled connection for alignment and test the system at working pressure to confirm there are no leaks.

Usage recommendations

Use with compatible 16x2 mm barrier or multilayer pipes and ensure the pipe material is suitable for potable water or heating applications. Follow standard plumbing practices: clean cutting, proper deburring, and controlled tightening. Avoid overtightening which can damage the ferrule or pipe; perform a pressure test after installation and recheck after the first heating cycle for heating systems.
