Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a successful installation, strictly follow these steps:
- 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.
- 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.
- Pressing: Use a calibrated press tool equipped with the correct M-profile jaws. Ensure the jaws are aligned squarely with the fitting bead.
- 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.
