FAQs
Is this fitting approved for gas installations?
Yes, the PrimaPress 42mm elbow is specifically approved for gas applications.
What type of press jaw do I need?
You must use M-profile press jaws for this specific fitting.
Can these fittings be used in high-temperature systems?
Yes, they are rated for operating temperatures between -10 and 110 degrees Celsius.
Does the fitting come with a warranty?
Yes, it includes a 50-year manufacturing defect warranty.
How does the 'leak before press' feature work?
The fitting design ensures that if a joint is not properly pressed, the fluid will bypass the O-ring during a pressure test, alerting the installer before the system is finalized.
Troubleshooting
The press tool fails to close completely around the fitting.
Verify that you are using an M-profile jaw and ensure there is no debris between the jaw and the fitting bead.
Leak identified during pressure testing.
Check if the pipe was properly deburred before insertion, as internal burrs can cut the internal O-ring seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Cut the 42mm tube squarely and remove all internal and external burrs to prevent O-ring damage.

- Pressing: Use a certified M-profile press jaw. Ensure the tool is fully seated on the fitting bead.
