Product Information

Full details

The PrimaPress Pressfit MI Coupler is designed for professional plumbers and contractors seeking a reliable, flameless solution for joining copper pipes in water, gas, or glycol systems. Its primary benefit is a high-security leak-before-press detection feature that prevents costly oversights during installation, though it does require the use of specific M-profile pressing tools for a proper connection.

FAQs

Are these fittings suitable for gas installations?

Yes, PrimaPress fittings are rated for gas applications, provided they are installed in accordance with local gas safety regulations.

Can I use these with V-profile jaws?

No, this fitting is designed specifically for M-profile press tools. Using incorrect profiles will result in an insecure joint.

What is the warranty period?

Each fitting is covered by a 50-year manufacturing defect warranty.

Are these fittings reusable after being pressed?

No, once a press fitting has been crimped onto a pipe, it cannot be reused and must be replaced if removed.

Do I need to lubricate the O-ring?

The O-rings are factory-lubricated. Using additional oil or grease can damage the seal and should be avoided.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks during initial pressure test

Verify the pipe was inserted to the correct depth and check that the fitting was pressed using the correct M-profile jaws.

Difficulty inserting pipe into fitting

Ensure the pipe end is deburred and perfectly round. If the pipe is deformed, use a pipe sizing tool before insertion.

Pros and Cons

  • Fast installation significantly reduces labor hours
  • No hot work permits or fire safety equipment required
  • 50-year manufacturing defect warranty provides long-term assurance
  • Batch-traceable manufacturing ensures consistent quality control

  • Requires precise pipe preparation and deburring before insertion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the PrimaPress MI Coupler, first cut the 15mm copper pipe square and ensure it is free of all burrs and surface scratches. Mark the insertion depth on the copper pipe as recommended by the press tool manufacturer to ensure full engagement. Insert the pipe into the coupler until it hits the stop. Position the M-profile press tool jaws squarely over the fitting's beaded section. Activate the tool until the full cycle is complete. For care, avoid using abrasive cleaners on the fitting. Always ensure the system is pressure tested before finalizing insulation, and consult local building codes for gas versus water installation requirements.
