Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a successful installation, follow these steps:
- Preparation: Cut the 22mm copper pipe squarely and remove all burrs from both the inside and outside.
- Marking: Mark the insertion depth on the pipe according to the manufacturer's specification to ensure proper seating.
- Insertion: Slide the pipe fully into the PrimaPress fitting until it hits the internal stop.
- Pressing: Use a compatible M-profile jaw and press tool. Ensure the jaw is perfectly perpendicular to the fitting during the press cycle.
- 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.
