FAQs

What types of systems can the PrimaPress 22mm End Cap be used in?

It is suitable for water, glycol, and gas (range only) systems.

What is the warranty period for this fitting?

PrimaPress fittings come with a 50-year Manufacturing Defect Warranty.

Do I need a special tool to install this end cap?

Yes, you will need a compatible M press tool with the correct 22mm jaw size.

What is the 'leak before press' detection system?

It is a feature designed to indicate potential leaks *before* the press cycle is fully completed, allowing for correction.

What is the maximum operating pressure and temperature?

The maximum working pressure is PN16, and the operating temperature range is -10 to 110 degrees Celsius.

Can this fitting be used for general natural gas lines?

No, it is specifically approved for gas *range only* applications, not general natural gas distribution.

Are there any certifications for this product?

Yes, the PrimaPress fitting is both WRAS and DVGW approved.

Troubleshooting

Press tool does not activate

Ensure the tool is fully charged (if applicable) and properly seated on the fitting. Check that the correct jaw size is being used.

Leak detected after pressing

While the leak-before-press system aims to prevent this, if a leak occurs, release the press, remove the fitting, inspect the pipe end and fitting for damage, and re-press with a new fitting if necessary. Ensure the pipe is clean and properly inserted.

Fitting appears loose after pressing

This may indicate an incomplete press. Release the tool and re-press, ensuring the tool is fully actuated according to its operating manual.
