Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a successful installation, follow these steps:
- Preparation: Cut the 22mm copper pipe square using a tube cutter to ensure no burrs remain. Deburr both the inner and outer edges.
- Calibration: Mark the pipe at the correct insertion depth recommended by the manufacturer to confirm the pipe has not moved during the pressing process.
- Insertion: Push the pipe fully into the fitting. It should reach the internal stop firmly.
- Pressing: Align the M-profile jaws of your press tool perpendicular to the fitting. Ensure the jaws are centered on the fitting profile before activating the tool.
- Inspection: Once the cycle is complete, inspect the press indentation to ensure it is uniform. Conduct a pressure test per local gas safety regulations before commissioning the system.
Compatibility is strictly limited to 22mm copper pipe. Do not use with PEX or composite tubing. Keep the fittings in their original packaging until use to prevent debris or oxidation from entering the seal area.
