Product Information

Full details

The Plumbright Copper Press-Fit Fitting Coupling is designed for professional plumbers and contractors seeking a reliable, heat-free joining method for 15mm copper piping systems in domestic, commercial, and industrial settings. Its primary benefit is the speed and safety of the installation process, which eliminates the need for hot works and open flames, though users must note that it requires a compatible M-profile press tool to ensure a leak-proof, permanent connection.

FAQs

Can I use these fittings with PEX or plastic piping?

No, these fittings are designed specifically for copper tubing.

Are these fittings reusable?

No, once the coupling has been pressed, it forms a permanent connection and cannot be detached or reused.

Do I need to clean the pipe before inserting it into the coupling?

Yes, it is critical to ensure the pipe is free of debris, dirt, and sharp burrs to avoid damaging the internal seal.

Can I use a V-profile tool to install these?

No, this product is engineered for M-profile jaws; using an incorrect profile will result in an improper, non-compliant seal.

Are these suitable for gas lines?

Always verify local building codes and manufacturer specifications regarding gas applications before use.

Troubleshooting

Joint is leaking after pressing

Verify that the pipe was deburred properly and that the O-ring was not cut during insertion; check that the correct M-profile jaws were used.

Tool cannot complete the press cycle

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted to the stop and that no debris is obstructing the fitting.

Pipe feels loose in the fitting before pressing

Verify that you are using 15mm nominal copper pipe; press fittings require a precise fit to seal correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve a successful installation, follow these guidelines:

  1. Preparation: Cut the pipe square using a tubing cutter and remove all internal and external burrs with a deburring tool.
  2. Marking: Measure the insertion depth as specified by the fitting requirements and mark the pipe to ensure full insertion.
  3. Insertion: Push the pipe firmly into the coupling until it meets the stop.
  4. Pressing: Align the M-profile press tool jaws squarely with the fitting bead and engage the tool cycle until completion.
  5. Care: Store fittings in a dry, cool environment to prevent oxidation of the copper surface. Inspect the O-ring for debris prior to insertion to maintain the integrity of the seal.
