Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this fitting on water lines?

This specific fitting is engineered for gas installations. Always check local codes regarding the use of gas-rated fittings for other media.

What tools are compatible with this fitting?

This fitting is compatible with all standard M-profile press jaws.

Does the fitting need to be soldered after pressing?

No. The PrimaPress system creates a permanent mechanical seal and must never be heated or soldered.

What is the warranty period?

The product is covered by a 50-year manufacturing defect warranty.

Is this fitting WRAS approved?

Yes, it carries both WRAS and DVGW approvals for professional use.

Can I rotate the fitting after it has been pressed?

No. Once pressed, the connection is fixed and should not be rotated or adjusted.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks during initial pressure test

Check if the fitting was pressed correctly. If the fitting shows no signs of being pressed, complete the press cycle. If it was pressed but leaks, the pipe may have been scratched before insertion, requiring the section to be cut out and replaced.

Fitting will not slide onto the pipe

Ensure the pipe end is properly deburred. If the pipe is deformed or ovalized, it must be resized using a pipe rounding tool.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster installation compared to traditional soldering
  • Enhanced safety with flameless technology
  • Leak-before-press technology prevents hidden installation errors
  • High-pressure rating ensures long-term reliability
  • Backed by a 50-year manufacturing defect warranty

Cons

  • Requires specific M-profile pressing equipment
  • Cannot be adjusted once the press cycle is complete
  • Requires proper tube preparation to ensure the O-ring seals correctly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, strictly follow these steps:

  1. Pipe Preparation: Cut the 15mm copper tube square and ensure the end is completely free of burrs or surface scratches to protect the internal O-ring.
  2. Insertion: Push the pipe fully into the fitting until it hits the pipe stop. Marking the insertion depth on the pipe helps confirm full seating.
  3. Pressing: Use a calibrated press tool equipped with the correct M-profile jaws. Ensure the jaws are aligned squarely with the fitting bead.
  4. Verification: Always perform a pressure test as required by local gas safety regulations before burying or enclosing the pipework.

Care for your fittings involves keeping them in their original packaging until use to prevent contamination of the sealing O-ring with grit, oil, or debris.
