Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this fitting suitable for gas lines?

Yes, it is designed for use in gas, water, and glycol systems.

What happens if I forget to press the fitting?

The 'leak before press' feature will reveal an unpressed fitting during your system's initial pressure test by allowing fluid or air to escape.

Can I use this with V-profile jaws?

No, PrimaPress fittings are specifically designed for use with M-profile press tools.

What is the warranty period?

PrimaPress offers a 50-year manufacturing defect warranty.

What is the maximum temperature rating?

The fitting is rated for temperatures between -10 and 110 degrees Celsius.

Does this require any soldering?

No, the installation is entirely flameless, utilizing a mechanical crimp.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaks during pressure test

Verify that the press tool cycle was fully completed and that the correct M-profile jaws were used.

Pipe will not insert into the fitting

Check the pipe for burrs or deformation at the end; ensure the pipe is round and the O-ring is seated correctly inside the fitting.

Fitting rotates after pressing

The press tool may not have applied enough force or the wrong jaw profile was used; re-inspect the connection and replace the fitting if a proper seal is not achieved.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Steps

  1. Ensure the pipe end is clean, burr-free, and properly deburred to prevent damage to the internal O-ring.
  2. Mark the insertion depth on the pipe to confirm the fitting is fully seated.
  3. Insert the pipe into the fitting until it reaches the stop.
  4. Utilize an M-profile press tool, ensuring the jaw is aligned correctly with the fitting's profile.
  5. Activate the press tool and complete the full cycle.

Compatibility

Care and Maintenance
