FAQs

Is this fitting suitable for gas installations?

Yes, this fitting is specifically designed for professional gas and water piping installations.

Can I use a V-profile jaw for this fitting?

No, this fitting requires an M-profile jaw to ensure a proper and secure connection.

Do I need to solder this fitting after pressing?

No, this is a mechanical press-fit system. Soldering is not required and should not be performed on the fitting.

Can I remove and reuse the fitting?

No, press-fit fittings create a permanent, non-detachable joint. If removed, the fitting must be replaced.

What size pipe does this elbow fit?

This elbow is sized specifically for 28mm copper piping.

Troubleshooting

Joint appears to be leaking after pressing.

Check if the pipe was fully deburred prior to insertion; internal scratches on the pipe end can compromise the O-ring.

Fitting is difficult to slide onto the pipe.

Verify that the pipe end is not out of round and that all external burrs have been removed; apply a light application of non-petroleum based lubricant if necessary.

Press tool will not engage with the fitting.

Confirm that your tool uses M-profile jaws. V-profile or other profiles are not compatible with this specific fitting type.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster installation compared to soldering
  • No fire risk or requirement for hot work permits
  • Clean, professional-looking joints with minimal cleanup
  • Highly reliable and secure permanent sealing
  • Suitable for both gas and water applications

Cons

  • Requires an investment in a dedicated press-fit tool
  • Cannot be adjusted once the press cycle is complete
  • Specific to 28mm copper piping only
  • Not compatible with V-profile press jaws

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, first cut the 28mm copper pipe cleanly at a 90-degree angle. It is critical to remove all burrs from both the inside and outside of the pipe end, as sharp edges can damage the internal O-ring seal during insertion. Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting to the marked depth. Use only a compatible M-profile pressing tool and verify that the jaws are properly aligned with the fitting beads. Once pressed, do not attempt to rotate or dismantle the joint. Regularly inspect the jaws of your press tool for wear and tear, as worn jaws can result in inconsistent crimping pressure.
