Is the PrimaPress coupler suitable for gas installations?

Does this fitting require any specific press tool profile?

What is the maximum pressure rating?

Are these fittings WRAS approved?

Yes, PrimaPress products are WRAS and DVGW approved for compliance with water safety standards.

What is the warranty period?

Troubleshooting

Leak detected at the joint during initial pressure test

Verify if the fitting was properly pressed using the correct M-profile jaws. If not, re-press the fitting or check for pipe scratches that may have damaged the internal O-ring.

The press tool jaw does not seat correctly on the fitting

Ensure you are using M-profile jaws. If you are, check that the fitting is not obstructed by debris and that the pipe is fully inserted into the stop.

Pipe insertion is difficult

Check the pipe end for burrs or deformation. If the pipe is ovalized, use a re-rounding tool before attempting to insert it into the coupler.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • 50-year manufacturing defect warranty provides long-term value
  • Fast installation times compared to traditional soldering
  • Wide operating temperature range covers most domestic and commercial needs
  • Easy identification of pressed vs. unpressed fittings
  • Fully traceable with batch information directly on the product

Cons

  • Requires professional-grade M-profile press tooling
  • Not suitable for use with V-profile press tools
  • Size range is limited to 15mm-54mm for this product line

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, follow these steps:

  1. Cut the copper pipe squarely and remove all burrs from the interior and exterior to prevent O-ring damage.
  2. Mark the pipe with the appropriate insertion depth to guarantee the pipe is fully seated inside the fitting.
  3. Position the M-profile press jaw perpendicular to the fitting, ensuring it is seated exactly on the pressing profile.
  4. Activate the tool until the full cycle is complete.

Care instructions are straightforward: once installed, the system should be pressure tested immediately. The brass components are resistant to corrosion, but avoid using abrasive cleaning pads on the outer surface of the fitting to maintain its protective integrity.
