Product Information

Full details

The Plumbright Copper Press-Fit Equal Elbow is designed for professional heating and gas engineers who require a reliable, flame-free solution for 22mm gas piping systems. This fitting excels by significantly reducing installation time compared to traditional brazing methods while ensuring a permanent, secure connection. A primary caveat is that it requires a specific M-Profile press tool to achieve the manufacturer's specified airtight seal, making it unsuitable for DIYers who lack access to specialized pressing equipment.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this fitting be used for water lines?

While these are gas-rated, verify if the specific O-ring material is certified for the intended water application by checking the product datasheet.

Does it require a specific press tool brand?

It is compatible with most major press tool brands provided they utilize M-profile jaws.

Can I rotate the fitting after pressing?

No, once the press cycle is complete, the joint is permanent and should not be rotated or adjusted.

Is this reusable?

No, the fitting is designed for single-use permanent installation only.

What is the maximum pressure rating?

Please refer to the technical data sheet provided by Plumbright, as ratings vary based on gas type and environmental conditions.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks immediately after pressing

Check if the pipe was fully inserted to the stop and ensure the correct M-profile jaws were used. Inspect the copper pipe for surface scratches or debris.

Difficulty inserting pipe into fitting

Check the pipe end for burrs or deformation from cutting. Ensure the pipe is perfectly round and not ovalized.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster installation compared to soldering
  • No hot work permits or fire safety equipment required
  • High-integrity permanent joints
  • Ideal for tight spaces where torches are difficult to manage
  • Reliable performance in commercial and domestic gas applications

Cons

  • Requires specialized M-profile press tooling
  • Not compatible with V-profile press jaws
  • Permanent joint cannot be disassembled once pressed
  • Initial investment cost for pressing machinery is high

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, follow these steps:

  1. Preparation: Cut the 22mm copper pipe square using a tube cutter to ensure no burrs remain. Deburr both the inner and outer edges.
  2. Calibration: Mark the pipe at the correct insertion depth recommended by the manufacturer to confirm the pipe has not moved during the pressing process.
  3. Insertion: Push the pipe fully into the fitting. It should reach the internal stop firmly.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
