FAQs

Is this fitting suitable for gas installations?

Yes, this Plumbright fitting is designed for use in both gas and water plumbing systems.

Can I use a V-Profile press tool with this fitting?

No, this fitting is specifically engineered for use with M-Profile pressing equipment.

Is this fitting reusable?

No, press-fit fittings create a permanent, non-detachable connection and cannot be reused once pressed.

Do I need to clean the pipe before installation?

Yes, ensure the copper pipe is clean, free of oil, and deburred to prevent damage to the internal O-ring seal.

What is the primary material?

The fitting is constructed from high-quality copper for durability and compatibility with copper piping systems.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaks after the press cycle

Check if the pipe was fully deburred and inserted to the marked depth; verify that the correct M-Profile jaw was used.

Difficulty inserting pipe into the fitting

Check the pipe for ovality or burrs; if the pipe end is deformed, use a calibration tool to round it out before insertion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster installation compared to traditional copper soldering
  • No open flame required, making it safer for confined or fire-sensitive spaces
  • Provides a permanent, durable, and leak-resistant connection
  • Suitable for high-performance gas and water applications
  • Uniform and aesthetically pleasing installation results

Cons

  • Requires specific M-Profile press-fit tools which represent an upfront investment
  • Not compatible with V-Profile pressing jaws
  • Once pressed, the fitting cannot be removed and reused

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a lifetime connection, follow these steps during setup: First, ensure the copper pipe ends are cut square and are free of burrs using a deburring tool. Mark the pipe to the correct insertion depth recommended by the press-fit manufacturer to ensure the pipe is fully seated. Slide the pipe into the fitting and apply the M-Profile pressing jaws squarely around the collar. Activate the press tool until the cycle is complete. Always check the system for pressure leaks before closing up walls or boxing in the pipework. Store these fittings in a dry area to prevent oxidation, and ensure compatibility with your specific press-fit machine brand before attempting installation.
