Compression Sleeve TECE 16 mm 704016 — pipe connection fitting for 16mm tubes

TECE compression sleeve for 16 mm tubing is a metal pipe connection fitting designed to create a secure, mechanically compressed joint between 16 mm plastic or multilayer pipes. Intended for use in potable water and central heating systems, this compression sleeve provides a compact connection solution for straight pipe joins, repairs and replacements in residential and light commercial installations. The design focuses on reliable sealing and simple installation without the need for soldering or adhesives.

Advantages

The compression sleeve delivers a consistent, leak-resistant connection through mechanical compression, ensuring stable performance under typical domestic water and heating pressures. Its metal construction provides dimensional stability and mechanical strength, while compatibility with 16 mm plastic and multilayer pipes allows flexible use across common piping materials. The fitting’s straightforward assembly reduces installation time and minimizes the need for specialised tools.

Suitable for

• Straight connections of 16 mm plastic or multilayer pipes
• Repairing damaged sections of domestic water supply lines
• Replacing short pipe segments in central heating circuits
• Plumbing installations in apartments, houses and small commercial premises

Key specifications

• Connection type: compression sleeve for 16 mm tubing
• Material: metal body designed for mechanical compression
• Compatible pipe materials: plastic (PE-X, PERT) and multilayer pipes of 16 mm outer diameter
• Intended media: potable water and central heating fluids
• Application: straight connections, repairs and replacements

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting squarely and removing any burrs or debris. Slide the compression sleeve components onto the pipe as required, position the pipes to be joined fully into the fitting, and tighten the compression nut or collar according to the manufacturer’s recommended torque or until the joint is firmly compressed. After assembly, inspect the connection visually and perform a pressure test of the system to verify a leak-free joint before returning the installation to service.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate pipe cutters and deburring tools to ensure clean pipe ends. Confirm compatibility of the pipe material and outer diameter with the compression sleeve prior to installation. For installations subject to higher mechanical loads or unusual operating conditions, follow local plumbing codes and consider additional support or anchoring. Perform a pressure test after installation and re-check connections after the first thermal cycles in heating systems.
