Pipe Tee Connector Comap TurboSKIN screw-type 16x2 for plumbing installations

The Comap TurboSKIN screw-type pipe tee connector 16x2 is a mechanical T-branch fitting designed for plumbing and heating installations using 16 mm (16x2) pipes. It enables the creation of a compact junction that diverts flow from a main line into a branch line using a screw/clamp style connection. The design is suitable for use with compatible plastic or composite piping systems where a secure, space-efficient branch is required.

Advantages

The screw-type joining method provides a reliable mechanical connection without the need for heat or adhesives, allowing for faster installation and easier replacement. The compact geometry of the tee minimizes space requirements in manifolds, behind panels or within service cavities. The connector is engineered for consistent sealing performance when used with pipes of the intended diameter, helping to reduce the risk of leaks under normal operating conditions.

Suitable for

• Creating T-branches in potable water distribution systems
• Branching supply lines in underfloor heating or radiator circuits
• Plumbing installations in confined or concealed spaces
• Repair or modification of existing plastic or composite pipe runs

Key specifications

• Connection type: screw/clamp mechanical tee
• Compatible pipe outside diameter: 16 mm (nominal 16x2)
• Application: plumbing and heating distribution
• Material characteristics: designed for use with plastic or composite piping systems
• Installation profile: compact, low-profile junction

How to use

Prepare the pipe ends by cutting square and deburring the cut surfaces to ensure a clean contact. Insert the pipe into the fitting to the required depth, then tighten the screw/clamp mechanism according to the manufacturer's torque or hand-tightening guidance until the pipe is held securely and the seal is engaged. After installation, verify alignment and check for leaks by pressurizing the system to normal test pressures and inspecting all joints.

Usage recommendations

Use the Comap TurboSKIN screw-type tee only with pipes that match the specified 16 mm outside diameter and wall thickness appropriate for a 16x2 system. Follow local plumbing codes and the piping manufacturer's instructions for pressure ratings, temperature limits and testing procedures. When replacing or modifying fittings, ensure the pipe material and condition are compatible with mechanical screw-type connections and perform a pressure test after assembly.
