Product Information

Full details

The PrimaPress 22mm Pressfit Gas Coupler is designed for professional plumbing and heating engineers who require a fast, reliable, and flame-free jointing solution for domestic and commercial piping. Its primary benefit is the integrated 'leak before press' detection system, which ensures safety by highlighting unpressed joints during pressure testing, though users must ensure they have access to a compatible M-profile press tool to complete installations.

FAQs

Can I use these fittings for gas lines?

Yes, the PrimaPress system is fully approved for gas installations, provided all local building regulations are followed.

What is the maximum working temperature?

The operating temperature range is -10 to 110 degrees Celsius.

Do I need to solder the joint after pressing?

No, this is a mechanical press fitting. Soldering is not required and could damage the O-ring.

Are these fittings reusable?

No, press fittings are designed for single-use permanent installations. Once pressed, they cannot be removed and reused.

What does the 50-year warranty cover?

The warranty covers manufacturing defects; it does not cover installation errors or damage resulting from improper use.

Are they compatible with stainless steel pipe?

PrimaPress is primarily designed for copper piping; please verify the material specifications for your specific pipe brand before use.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks during initial pressure test

Verify if the joint was fully pressed with an M-profile tool. If the fitting was missed, complete the press operation.

Fitting is difficult to slide onto the pipe

Check that the pipe end is properly deburred and free of sharp edges which can catch the internal seal.

Incompatibility with existing press tool

Confirm your press tool jaw profile is M-profile. The fitting will not seal correctly with V-profile or other jaw types.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster installation compared to traditional brazing or soldering.
  • Integrated leak detection provides immediate verification of installation integrity.
  • No open flames required makes it safer for renovations and tight spaces.
  • Broad regulatory approval ensures suitability for gas and water utility systems.
  • Exceptional 50-year warranty offers peace of mind for long-term installations.

Cons

  • Requires investment in a specific M-profile press tool.
  • Not compatible with V-profile or other non-M press tool jaws.
  • Requires precise pipe preparation to ensure the O-ring is not damaged during insertion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, the pipe end must be cut square and thoroughly deburred to prevent damage to the internal O-ring seal. Clean the pipe exterior of any debris or oxidation. Ensure you are using a certified M-profile press tool. While these fittings are durable, they should not be subjected to excessive mechanical stress or vibration beyond standard installation requirements. Store in a clean, dry environment to prevent O-ring degradation. Before hiding the pipes behind walls or under flooring, always conduct a mandatory pressure test to verify that all fittings have been successfully compressed.
