FAQs
What type of pipe does this coupler work with?
This coupler is designed specifically for 15mm copper tubing.
Can I use this fitting for gas lines?
No, this fitting is strictly for water applications (hot and cold water services, heating systems) and is not suitable for gas installations.
What tool do I need to install this fitting?
You need a press tool fitted with compatible "M" Press jaws specifically designed for 15mm fittings.
What does 'Leak Before Press' mean?
Leak Before Press (LBP) technology means that if a joint is not fully pressed, it will leak water during low-pressure testing. This helps installers identify and fix incorrectly pressed joints before the system is fully commissioned.
Is soldering required with this fitting?
No, this is a press-fit fitting, meaning it creates a mechanical joint without the need for heat or soldering.
What approvals does this product have?
The fitting is BSI Kitemark approved (BS 8537:2010) and WRAS approved.
How many fittings are included in a pack?
The product is supplied in a pack of 10 straight couplers.
Troubleshooting
Fitting does not seal during low-pressure testing (Leak Before Press activation)
The fitting has not been pressed correctly. Reposition the press tool and ensure a full, complete press cycle is performed. Check the press jaws and tool for wear or damage.
Difficulty inserting pipe into fitting
Ensure the copper pipe end is clean, round, and free from burrs or damage. Check that the fitting's internal dimensions are not obstructed.
Press tool fails to operate or complete a press
Check the power source or manual operation of the press tool. Ensure the correct jaws for the fitting size are installed and properly seated. Refer to the press tool manufacturer's manual for troubleshooting.
Visible damage to the fitting or pipe
Do not use damaged components. Replace the fitting or pipe and inspect the area for potential causes of damage.
