The primary advantage is the elimination of the need for open flames, making the installation process significantly safer and faster. It also removes the risk of damaging surrounding materials due to heat.
Yes, you will need a compatible Pegler Xpress press tool with the correct 22mm jaw set. These are specialized tools required for creating the mechanical seal.
This fitting is designed for 22mm copper tubes conforming to standards such as BS EN 1057, including soft, half-hard, and hard temper pipes.
When installed correctly using the specified tools and procedures, Pegler Xpress fittings are designed to provide a durable, long-lasting seal equivalent to traditional methods, often exceeding 50 years.
This specific fitting is designed for water applications (domestic and commercial). Always refer to the product specifications and relevant regulations for suitability for gas or other media.
While specific values should be confirmed with Pegler Yorkshire's technical data sheets, the Xpress system is generally designed to handle the typical operating temperatures and pressures found in domestic and commercial hot and cold water systems.
No, once a fitting has been pressed, it creates a permanent mechanical seal and cannot be reliably reused. The fitting should be replaced if disconnected or repositioned.
Check that the copper pipe was fully inserted into the fitting before pressing. Ensure the pipe end was clean and free from debris. Verify that the correct press tool and jaws were used and that the press cycle was completed fully. Inspect the fitting for any damage sustained during installation.
Ensure the press jaws are correctly seated within the tool and that the jaws are clean and free of obstructions. Check the tool's power source or battery level if it is an electric or battery-powered model. Consult the press tool manufacturer's manual for specific troubleshooting steps.
Confirm that the pipe is the correct size (22mm) and that the end is not deformed or ovalized. Ensure the pipe end is smoothly deburred and that the fitting's internal O-ring is not damaged or obstructed.
