FAQs

What types of pipes can be used with Primaflow fittings?

Primaflow Pressfit fittings are designed for use with copper pipes. Always ensure the pipe meets relevant standards and is the correct size for the fitting.

Can this fitting be used for natural gas in any application?

This fitting is approved for gas range only. It is not suitable for general natural gas or LPG installations beyond this specific application.

What is the temperature range for these fittings?

The fittings can operate within a temperature range of -10 to 110 degrees Celsius.

How long is the warranty period?

Primaflow offers a market-leading 50-year Manufacturing Defect Warranty on these pressfit fittings.

Do I need special tools for installation?

Yes, you will need a compatible M press jaw tool to install Primaflow Pressfit fittings.

What does 'leak before press' detection mean?

It means that if the fitting is not pressed correctly, it is designed to leak slightly under low pressure *before* the full press is applied, alerting you to a potential issue before it becomes a major problem.

Are these fittings approved for drinking water systems?

Yes, the fittings are WRAS approved, which means they are certified for use in potable (drinking) water systems in the UK.

Troubleshooting

Fitting does not seal properly.

Ensure the pipe is clean, deburred, and fully inserted into the fitting. Verify that the correct M press jaw tool is being used and that it has completed its full pressing cycle. Check for any obstructions or damage to the fitting or pipe.

Press tool fails to engage or complete cycle.

Check that the press jaws are correctly seated on the fitting. Ensure the tool is adequately charged (if battery-powered) and functioning correctly. Consult the press tool's manual for specific troubleshooting steps.

Visible leak after pressing.

The leak-before-press system should have indicated a problem prior to full pressurization. If a leak occurs, the fitting may need to be removed and replaced. Ensure the pipe and fitting were not damaged during installation and that the correct pressing procedure was followed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fast and safe flameless installation method.
  • Leak-before-press detection minimizes post-installation issues.
  • High temperature and pressure ratings for demanding applications.
  • Wide range of approvals (WRAS, DVGW) ensures compliance.
  • Long 50-year warranty offers excellent long-term value.
  • Compatible with standard M press jaw tools.

Cons

  • Requires specific M press jaw tools for installation.
  • Primarily designed for specific applications (e.g., gas range only for gas).
  • Not suitable for all types of gas installations beyond domestic ranges.
  • Initial cost may be higher than traditional methods, though installation time savings can offset this.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the pipe ends are clean, deburred, and properly chamfered before insertion. Insert the fitting fully onto the pipe. Using a compatible M press jaw tool, align the jaws correctly over the fitting and actuate the tool to create the seal. The tool will indicate when the press cycle is complete.

Compatibility: This fitting is exclusively compatible with M press jaw tools. Ensure your tool is in good working condition and calibrated as per the tool manufacturer's guidelines. It is suitable for use with copper pipes within the specified dimensions.

Care: PrimaPress fittings are designed for permanent installation and do not require routine maintenance. However, the surrounding pipework should be inspected periodically as part of a general system maintenance check. Keep fittings dry and free from excessive dirt or debris during storage and installation.
