Product Information

Full details

The PrimaPress 15mm Pressfit End Cap is designed for professional plumbers and contractors seeking a reliable, permanent sealing solution for copper pipe systems in water, gas, or glycol applications. Its primary benefit is the integrated 'leak before press' detection system, which ensures safety by revealing unpressed joints during testing; however, users must ensure they have access to compatible M-profile pressing tools for correct installation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this fitting suitable for gas installations?

Yes, the PrimaPress fitting is approved for use in gas applications, provided local regulations and installation codes are followed.

Can I use this with V-profile press tools?

No, this fitting is specifically engineered for M-profile press tools.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 50-year warranty covering manufacturing defects.

Is the fitting reusable?

No, press fittings create a permanent mechanical connection and cannot be reused once pressed.

Does it require special cleaning before use?

Simply ensure the pipe end is clean, free of debris, and properly deburred.

What is the maximum tested pressure?

The fitting is tested up to 24 bar, exceeding its PN16 working pressure rating.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaks during initial pressure test

Verify if the joint was fully pressed. Check the O-ring for debris or damage caused by sharp pipe edges before re-pressing or replacing.

Press tool fails to close completely

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted to the stop point and that the jaws are properly seated on the fitting profile.

Difficulty inserting pipe into fitting

Check the end of the pipe for deformations or burrs and ensure the tube is perfectly round.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated leak detection identifies unpressed joints instantly
  • Flameless installation increases site safety and reduces insurance risk
  • Comprehensive 50-year manufacturing defect warranty
  • Certified for both water and gas system versatility
  • Fully compatible with industry-standard M-profile pressing tools

Cons

  • Requires professional-grade M-profile press tool for installation
  • Not intended for use with non-copper piping materials
  • Requires manual deburring of pipe ends prior to insertion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a lifetime seal, follow these installation standards:

  1. Pipe Preparation: Cut the 15mm copper tube square and remove all internal and external burrs using a deburring tool to prevent O-ring damage.
  2. Insertion: Mark the insertion depth on the pipe to ensure it reaches the stop inside the fitting.
  3. Pressing: Align the M-profile jaws of your press tool perpendicular to the fitting and execute the press cycle until the tool reaches its full extension.
  4. Pressure Test: Conduct a pressure test before concealing the pipework; the leak detection feature will highlight any fitting that was not fully pressed.

*Care Instructions*: Store fittings in a clean, dry environment to prevent debris from entering the seal area. Do not use petroleum-based lubricants on the O-ring.
