Product Information

Full details

The PrimaPress 22mm 45-Degree Obtuse Street Elbow is an ideal solution for professional plumbers and contractors seeking reliable, flameless piping connections for water, gas, and glycol systems. This fitting provides the significant advantage of a 'leak before press' detection system to ensure installation integrity, though users must ensure they have access to compatible M-profile press tools to complete the installation effectively.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this fitting suitable for gas lines?

Yes, the PrimaPress range is approved for gas, water, and glycol applications.

Can I use V-profile jaws with these fittings?

No, PrimaPress is designed specifically for use with M-profile press jaws.

What is the warranty period?

The product includes a 50-year warranty covering manufacturing defects.

What is the maximum operating temperature?

The fittings are rated for a temperature range of -10 to 110 degrees Celsius.

What does PN16 mean?

PN16 refers to the nominal pressure rating, meaning the fitting is rated for a maximum working pressure of 16 bar.

Are these fittings reusable?

No, press fittings are designed for single-use and should not be reused once they have been pressed.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks during initial pressure test

Verify if the pipe was fully inserted to the depth mark and check that the fitting was pressed with the correct M-profile jaws.

Difficulty inserting pipe into fitting

Check the pipe end for burrs or deformation. If the pipe end is not perfectly round, use a rounding tool.

Press tool will not close around fitting

Confirm the press tool is equipped with the correct M-profile jaws for a 22mm fitting and that there is no debris in the jaw tracks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fast, flameless installation saves time on site
  • Leak before press feature prevents catastrophic system failures
  • Broad compatibility with standard M-profile press jaws
  • 50-year manufacturing defect warranty provides long-term peace of mind
  • Wide operating temperature range of -10 to 110 degrees Celsius

Cons

  • Requires professional-grade M-profile press tool equipment
  • Limited to specific size ranges (15mm to 54mm)
  • Higher initial cost compared to traditional capillary fittings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, follow these steps:

  1. Preparation: Cut the 22mm copper pipe squarely and remove all burrs from both the inside and outside.
  2. Marking: Mark the insertion depth on the pipe according to the manufacturer's specification to ensure proper seating.
  3. Insertion: Slide the pipe fully into the PrimaPress fitting until it hits the internal stop.
  4. Pressing: Use a compatible M-profile jaw and press tool. Ensure the jaw is perfectly perpendicular to the fitting during the press cycle.
  5. Verification: Once pressed, inspect the joint. The leak-before-press design ensures that if a fitting was missed, it will reveal itself during the initial low-pressure leak test.

Care: The fittings require no special maintenance once installed. Ensure all systems are installed according to local building regulations and gas safety standards where applicable.
