Full details

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, first verify that your press tool is equipped with the correct M-profile jaw. Always deburr the pipe end thoroughly to prevent damage to the internal O-ring seal. Slide the pipe into the fitting until it meets the stop, then ensure the jaw is properly aligned with the bead of the fitting before activating the press cycle. For long-term maintenance, keep fittings free from exposure to harsh chemical contaminants or corrosive environments. If the system is used in high-vibration areas, ensure the piping is adequately supported with standard clamps according to local building regulations.
