Product Information

Full details

The PrimaPress Pressfit Gas Reducing Tee (28x28x15mm) is an ideal solution for professional plumbers and contractors working on gas, water, or glycol distribution systems who require a fast, reliable, and flame-free connection. Engineered for high performance, it offers a secure, permanent joint that saves significant time on site compared to traditional soldering. However, it requires specific M profile press jaw tooling, meaning it is not compatible with alternative jaw profiles common to other fitting systems.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use these fittings for gas applications?

Yes, the PrimaPress range is specifically designed for gas, water, and glycol systems.

Are these fittings compatible with V profile jaws?

No, this product is designed specifically for M profile press jaws.

What is the warranty period?

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

Are these fittings WRAS approved?

Yes, they hold both WRAS and DVGW approvals for peace of mind.

What is the maximum pressure rating?

The fittings are rated for operating pressures up to PN16.

Do I need to solder the joint after pressing?

No, the press-fit connection is designed to be permanent and secure without the need for additional soldering.

Troubleshooting

The press tool struggles to complete the cycle on the fitting

Check that you are using M profile jaws and that the battery of the press tool is fully charged.

Minor leakage identified after initial pressing

Ensure the pipe was not burred before insertion; if the O-ring was damaged during insertion, the fitting must be cut out and replaced.

Fitting appears loose on the pipe before pressing

Verify that the pipe is the correct standard diameter; PrimaPress fittings are designed for specific copper tube tolerances.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster installation compared to soldering or brazing
  • No hot works permits or fire watches required during setup
  • WRAS and DVGW certified for high safety standards
  • Fully traceable manufacturing ensures quality assurance
  • Backed by a comprehensive 50-year manufacturing defect warranty

Cons

  • Requires specific M profile press tooling for installation
  • Not compatible with V profile or other non-M press jaws
  • Higher initial cost per fitting compared to standard copper end-feed couplings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, follow these professional standards:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the copper pipe ends are cut square and are free of any burrs or debris, as these can damage the internal O-ring.
  2. Marking: Measure the insertion depth of the fitting and mark the pipe to ensure full engagement.
  3. Pressing: Use an M profile press jaw that is clean and regularly serviced. Align the jaw squarely over the fitting collar.
  4. Compatibility: Only use with compatible copper piping systems; this fitting is calibrated specifically for the 28x28x15mm transition.
  5. Maintenance: While the system is virtually maintenance-free once installed, always perform a pressure test before putting the line into full operation to verify the integrity of every press joint.
