Compression Tee Comap 26x2 TurboSKIN — plumbing fitting for pipe branching

Compression Tee Comap 26x2 TurboSKIN is a plumbing fitting designed to create a reliable branch on 26x2 mm plastic or multilayer piping. The tee uses a screw/compression connection to form a watertight mechanical joint without the need for soldering or welding. It is intended for use in water supply and heating systems where a durable and serviceable branch connection is required.

Advantages

The Comap TurboSKIN compression tee provides a secure mechanical seal through a threaded compression mechanism that ensures consistent clamping force on 26x2 mm pipes. Its construction reduces the need for special tools and enables easier installation and disassembly for maintenance. The fitting is compatible with common materials used in plumbing and heating, providing resistance to typical system pressures and temperatures encountered in domestic and light commercial installations.

Suitable for

• Creating a branch in potable water supply lines with 26x2 mm piping
• Branching circuits in residential or light commercial heating systems
• Repair or modification of existing 26x2 mm plastic or multilayer pipe networks
• Situations where a screw/compression connection is preferred over glue or solder

Key specifications

• Connection type: screw/compression (mechanical compression joint)
• Pipe size compatibility: 26 x 2 mm
• Application: water supply and heating systems
• Material: engineered fitting body suitable for mechanical compression connections
• Serviceability: removable and re-usable under appropriate conditions

How to use

Prepare the 26x2 mm pipe ends by cutting square and deburring to ensure full insertion into the fitting. Slide the compression nut and ring onto the pipe, insert the pipe to the fitting stop, then tighten the compression nut to the recommended torque to form the mechanical seal. Verify alignment and hand-tighten before applying final torque with suitable tools. After assembly, pressurize the system and inspect the joint for leaks according to local installation standards.

Usage recommendations

Use the compression tee with pipes that match the 26x2 mm dimension and follow manufacturer guidance for tightening torque and installation sequence. Avoid overtightening, ensure clean pipe ends, and perform pressure testing after installation. For systems with aggressive fluids or unusually high temperatures, confirm material compatibility before use.
