Product Information

Full details

The PrimaPress Pressfit Gas FI Coupler is designed for professional plumbers and heating engineers who require a reliable, flameless solution for domestic and commercial piping systems. This high-specification fitting provides a secure, leak-proof connection for water, gas, and glycol applications, offering significant time savings over traditional soldering methods. While the unit provides excellent durability and safety through its leak-before-press detection, users must ensure they have access to M-profile press jaws to complete the installation.

FAQs

Can I use these fittings for gas applications?

Yes, the PrimaPress range is suitable for gas, water, and glycol applications, provided it meets local regulations for the specific installation.

What is the warranty period?

PrimaPress offers a 50-year warranty against manufacturing defects.

Can I use V-profile jaws with this fitting?

No, this product is designed for M-profile press jaws only.

What is the maximum operating temperature?

The operating temperature range is -10 to 110 degrees Celsius.

Does the fitting have leak-before-press detection?

Yes, the fitting is equipped with an integrated leak-before-press system tested to 24 bar.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks during initial pressure test

Check if the joint was fully pressed. If unpressed, apply the press tool again. If the pipe was inserted incorrectly or the O-ring was damaged during insertion, the fitting must be cut out and replaced.

Fitting does not slide onto the pipe

Ensure the pipe end is deburred and rounded. If the pipe is deformed or out-of-round, use a pipe sizing tool to restore the shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flameless installation increases site safety and reduces insurance premiums
  • Extensive 50-year warranty against manufacturing defects
  • Rapid installation time compared to traditional brazing or soldering
  • WRAS and DVGW certified for professional peace of mind

Cons

  • Requires specific M-profile pressing tool which represents an upfront investment
  • Not compatible with V-profile press jaws
  • Cannot be reused once the press cycle has been completed

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a lifetime seal, follow these best practices:

  1. Preparation: Cut the copper pipe squarely and ensure the end is free of burrs or sharp edges that could damage the internal O-ring.
  2. Insertion: Push the pipe fully into the fitting until it meets the internal stop.
  3. Pressing: Use a calibrated M-profile press tool. Align the jaws perpendicular to the fitting and ensure the tool cycle is completed fully without obstruction.
  4. Compatibility: This fitting is designed specifically for M-profile jaws. Do not attempt to use V-profile tools as this may result in a weak connection or damage the fitting.
  5. Maintenance: Store fittings in a clean, dry environment to protect the internal O-ring seals from debris or extreme UV exposure prior to use.
