Product Information

Full details

The PrimaPress Pressfit Gas Coupler is designed for professional plumbers and HVAC technicians seeking a secure, flameless joining method for copper pipe systems in water, gas, and glycol applications. Its primary benefit is the integrated 'leak before press' technology, which ensures that unpressed joints are immediately identifiable during pressure testing. While it offers exceptional durability and a 50-year warranty, users must note that it is strictly compatible with M-profile press jaws, limiting its use for those exclusively equipped with V-profile tooling.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use these fittings for natural gas installations?

Yes, they are approved for use in gas range applications, provided the system design complies with local gas safety regulations.

What type of press tool is required?

You must use an M-profile press jaw. V-profile jaws will not provide the correct crimp and may result in a compromised seal.

Are these fittings reusable?

No, PrimaPress fittings are designed for one-time use. Once a fitting has been pressed, it must be cut out and replaced if removed.

Can this be used in potable water systems?

Yes, the product is WRAS approved, making it suitable for drinking water systems.

What does the 50-year warranty cover?

The warranty covers manufacturing defects; it does not cover damage caused by improper installation, misuse, or failure to follow manufacturer guidelines.

Can I use these with PEX tubing?

No, these fittings are specifically designed for copper pipe systems.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaks during initial pressure test

Check if the fitting was fully crimped using the correct M-profile jaws. If not fully pressed, re-align and complete the cycle.

Pipe will not insert into the coupler

Verify the pipe end is not deformed and that all burrs were removed. Ensure the internal O-ring has not been dislodged.

Visible scarring on the copper pipe

Check for debris on the inside of the press jaws and clean them thoroughly with a wire brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, follow these technical requirements:

  1. Pipe Preparation: Cut the 15mm copper pipe square and remove all internal and external burrs. Ensure the surface is clean and free from scratches or debris.
  2. Tooling: Use only calibrated M-profile press jaws. Ensure the jaws are free of grit to prevent scarring of the fitting.
  3. Insertion: Mark the insertion depth on the copper pipe to verify the pipe is seated fully inside the coupler before pressing.
  4. Pressing: Align the press jaw squarely over the fitting collar and activate the tool. Do not stop the cycle before completion.
  5. Maintenance: Periodically inspect installed fittings for signs of corrosion or external damage. Do not reuse fittings once they have been crimped.
