Full details
This guide is for plumbers, heating engineers, and building service professionals working on domestic, commercial, and industrial projects. The Pegler Yorkshire Xpress Copper Press-Fit System offers a fast, reliable, and cost-effective solution for creating secure joints in copper piping.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Xpress system?
The main advantage is the speed and ease of installation due to its heat-free press-fit technology, which also enhances safety by eliminating the need for open flames.
Can I use these fittings for gas pipes?
No, the Pegler Yorkshire Xpress Copper Press-Fit System is not suitable for gas applications. It is designed for water and heating systems only.
What press jaws do I need for this 22mm coupler?
You need to use Pegler Yorkshire 'M' Press jaws or equivalent compatible jaws specifically designed for 'M' profile pressing and the 22mm size.
What does 'Leak Before Press' mean?
Leak Before Press (LBP) technology means that if a joint is not fully pressed, water will weep from the fitting during low-pressure testing, clearly indicating that it requires pressing before being put into full service.
What is the maximum operating temperature and pressure?
The system is rated for a minimum operating temperature of -24°C and a maximum of 110°C, at a maximum pressure of 16 Bar.
What guarantee is provided?
The Pegler Yorkshire Xpress fittings come with a 25-year manufacturer's guarantee.
How do I prepare the copper pipe before pressing?
The copper pipe must be cut square, de-burred on both the inside and outside edge, and be free from any ovality.
Troubleshooting
Fitting does not press correctly
Ensure you are using the correct size 'M' Press jaws for the 22mm fitting and that your press tool is fully functional and calibrated.
Leak detected during testing before pressing
This indicates the fitting has not been pressed. Re-seat the fitting and press again, ensuring full jaw closure.
Difficulty inserting tube into fitting
Ensure the end of the copper tube is perfectly square, de-burred, and free from any ovality. Clean the tube end if necessary.
Fitting appears damaged
Do not use damaged fittings. Inspect visually before pressing and discard any with visible defects.
