Product Information

Full details

The PrimaPress Pressfit Gas Reducing Coupler is an essential component for professional plumbers and contractors seeking a reliable, flameless solution for connecting different sizes of copper piping. Designed for both domestic and commercial water, gas, and glycol systems, this fitting provides a high-specification connection that rivals market-leading alternatives. While it offers superior ease of use and safety through its press technology, users should note that it requires specific tooling, specifically M-profile press jaws, to ensure a secure and compliant seal.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use these fittings with V-profile jaws?

No, PrimaPress fittings are specifically designed for M-profile press jaws. Using incorrect profiles will result in an insecure connection.

What is the warranty period?

The PrimaPress range is covered by a 50-year manufacturing defect warranty.

Are these suitable for gas installations?

Yes, they are suitable for gas as well as water and glycol, provided they are installed in accordance with local regulations.

What is the maximum working pressure?

The system has a maximum working pressure of PN16.

Is the fitting reusable?

No, press fittings are designed for one-time use. Once the fitting has been pressed, it cannot be removed and reused.

How do I ensure the pipe is inserted far enough?

Always use a pipe marker to mark the insertion depth on the tube before inserting it into the fitting to verify full seating.

Troubleshooting

The press tool fails to complete the cycle.

Check that the battery is fully charged and verify that the correct M-profile jaws for the size of the fitting are installed.

The joint leaks during pressure testing.

Verify the pipe was deburred properly and inserted to the correct depth; if the pipe is scarred or the O-ring was damaged, the fitting must be replaced.

Fitting does not slide onto the pipe easily.

Check for pipe deformation or ovality and ensure the end of the pipe is properly chamfered.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fast and efficient flameless installation
  • Leak before press detection prevents accidental failures
  • Compatible with industry-standard M-profile press jaws
  • Backed by a 50-year manufacturing defect warranty
  • Fully traceable with batch information and markings

Cons

  • Requires professional-grade M-profile pressing tool
  • Not compatible with V-profile or other non-M jaws
  • Requires careful pipe preparation (deburring) for proper seal

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Pipe Preparation: Cut the copper pipe square and ensure it is free from burrs or sharp edges using a deburring tool.
  2. Marking: Mark the required insertion depth on the copper tube to ensure the pipe is fully seated within the fitting.
  3. Tooling: Ensure your press tool is fitted with M-profile jaws that match the diameter of the fitting (15mm to 54mm).
  4. Alignment: Place the jaws squarely over the fitting collar. Ensure the press tool is perpendicular to the pipe during the cycle.
  5. Maintenance: Store fittings in a clean, dry area to prevent debris from entering the internal O-ring seal. Inspect the O-ring for damage or dust before installation.
