Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this fitting compatible with V-profile jaws?

No, PrimaPress fittings are specifically engineered for M-profile press tools.

Can I use this for gas installations?

Yes, the PrimaPress system is suitable for gas, water, and glycol applications, provided all local codes and regulations are followed.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 50-year warranty against manufacturing defects.

What is the maximum operating temperature?

The fitting is rated for temperatures ranging from -10°C to 110°C.

How do I know if the joint is properly pressed?

Visually inspect the fitting for the compression profile created by the jaw; additionally, perform a pressure test which will reveal any unpressed fittings via the leak-before-press feature.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks during initial system pressure test

Verify if the connection was fully pressed. If not, re-apply the press tool. If it was fully pressed, inspect the pipe surface for deep scratches or debris that may have compromised the O-ring.

Fitting will not slide onto the pipe

Ensure the pipe end is properly deburred and that the pipe is not deformed or oval-shaped from the cutting process.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rapid installation significantly reduces labor time compared to soldering
  • Flame-free design increases safety on job sites
  • Leak-before-press detection minimizes risk of leaks in completed systems

Cons

  • Requires M-profile pressing tools which must be purchased separately
  • Not compatible with V-profile press equipment
  • Installation requires proper pipe preparation to ensure seal integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a lifetime seal, follow these installation steps:

  1. Pipe Preparation: Ensure the 22mm copper pipe is cut square, deburred, and free of any scratches, dirt, or grease in the area where the O-ring will seat.
  2. Marking: Measure and mark the insertion depth on the pipe to confirm the fitting is fully seated during pressing.
  3. Pressing: Slide the pipe into the PrimaPress fitting until it hits the stop. Align the jaws of your M-profile press tool directly over the fitting bead.
  4. Completion: Activate the press tool until the cycle is complete.

Maintain system integrity by keeping the press tools calibrated per manufacturer specifications and storing fittings in a clean, dry environment to prevent O-ring contamination.
