Product Information

Full details

The PrimaPress Pressfit Gas Equal Tee is a high-performance, 28mm copper fitting designed for professional plumbers and heating engineers tasked with installing water, gas, or glycol piping systems. Its primary benefit is the combination of rapid, flameless installation with a 'leak before press' detection safety feature, ensuring secure connections in both domestic and commercial environments. While it offers exceptional longevity and certification-backed reliability, it requires the use of specialized M-profile pressing tools for correct application.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this be used for drinking water?

Yes, the PrimaPress system is WRAS approved, making it safe for potable water installations.

What tools are required for installation?

You must use a mechanical press tool equipped with M-profile jaws specifically sized for 28mm copper piping.

Is it compatible with V-profile jaws?

No, this fitting is specifically designed for M-profile jaws. Using incompatible profiles may result in an improper seal.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 50-year warranty covering manufacturing defects.

Can these fittings be reused?

No, press fittings are intended for single use. Once a fitting has been pressed, it must be removed if a change is required.

What temperature range can it handle?

The fitting is rated for temperatures between -10 degrees Celsius and 110 degrees Celsius.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks during initial pressure test

Verify if the joint was fully pressed; if unpressed, complete the press cycle. If it was pressed, check for dirt on the O-ring or damage to the pipe end during insertion.

Difficulty inserting pipe into fitting

Check the pipe for burrs or deformation. If the pipe end is slightly oval, use a pipe sizing tool before insertion.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure the pipe end is square, clean, and free of burrs to avoid damaging the internal O-ring.
  2. Marking: Measure and mark the insertion depth on the copper tube to confirm full contact with the fitting stop.
  3. Pressing: Use an M-profile press jaw matching the 28mm diameter. Place the jaw squarely over the bead of the fitting.
  4. Verification: Once pressed, inspect the joint for the press profile impression.
  5. Maintenance: While the fittings are maintenance-free after installation, perform a system-wide pressure test to verify all joints.
  6. Compatibility: Compatible with standard copper tubing conforming to EN 1057 specifications.
