Product Information

Full details

The PrimaPress Pressfit MI Coupler is designed for professional plumbers and contractors working on water, gas, or glycol piping systems who require a fast, reliable, and flame-free installation method. It offers the distinct advantage of a 'leak before press' detection system, which ensures safety by identifying unpressed fittings during pressure testing, though users must note that it requires a compatible M-profile press tool for proper installation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What tools are compatible with PrimaPress fittings?

These fittings are designed specifically for M-profile press tools.

Can I use this for gas installations?

Yes, the PrimaPress system is approved for gas, water, and glycol applications.

What is the warranty period?

PrimaPress products come with a 50-year warranty covering manufacturing defects.

How does the 'leak before press' system work?

The fitting is designed to let fluid pass through the seal if it hasn't been compressed, allowing you to identify unpressed joints during a pressure test.

What temperature range can this fitting handle?

It is rated for operation between -10 and 110 degrees Celsius.

Is this product WRAS approved?

Yes, the PrimaPress range is WRAS and DVGW approved.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks after compression

Check if the pipe was properly deburred before insertion. Scratches on the pipe surface or a damaged O-ring can prevent a complete seal.

Press tool will not fit correctly

Verify that your press tool is using M-profile jaws. This fitting is not compatible with V-profile or other jaw types.

Fitting slips during pressing

Ensure the pipe is inserted to the full depth indicated by your marking. Incomplete insertion can lead to misalignment during the compression cycle.

Pros and Cons

  • Leak before press feature prevents installation errors
  • Industry-standard M-profile compatibility

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a lifetime of service, follow these installation guidelines: Always cut copper tubing at a 90-degree angle and deburr the inside and outside of the pipe to remove sharp edges that could tear the sealing element. Ensure the fitting is pushed onto the pipe to the pre-marked depth. The coupler is compatible with all standard M-profile press jaws. When working with gas lines, always adhere to local safety regulations regarding pipe jointing. For long-term maintenance, avoid using harsh chemicals on the fitting exterior. The unit is low-maintenance, but periodic visual inspections during routine boiler or system servicing are recommended to verify structural integrity.
