Product Information

Full details

The PrimaPress Pressfit Fitting Reducer is designed for professional plumbers and contractors seeking a reliable, flameless solution for transitioning between 22mm and 15mm copper piping in water, gas, and glycol systems. Its primary benefit is the integrated 'leak before press' detection system, which ensures integrity during installation, though it strictly requires compatibility with M-profile press jaws for a successful connection.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this fitting with gas lines?

Yes, the PrimaPress fitting is suitable for gas, water, and glycol applications, provided local regulations and installation guidelines are followed.

What happens if I forget to press the fitting?

The 'leak before press' detection system is designed to allow fluid to escape during initial pressure testing, signaling that the joint has not been properly pressed.

Does this fitting work with V-profile jaws?

No, this product is specifically engineered for use with M-profile press jaws.

What is the warranty period?

PrimaPress fittings are covered by a 50-year manufacturing defect warranty.

Is this product WRAS approved?

Yes, it is both WRAS and DVGW approved for safety and compliance.

Can I remove and reuse the fitting if I made a mistake?

No, press fittings are intended for a single, permanent installation. If a mistake is made, the section must be cut out and replaced with a new fitting.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks during initial pressure test

Verify that the press tool was applied correctly with M-profile jaws and that the pipe was inserted to the full depth mark.

Fitting does not fit onto the pipe

Check the pipe for deformities or burrs. Ensure the pipe end is properly deburred and rounded.

Difficulty seating the tool over the fitting

Check that you are using M-profile jaws, as other profiles may not fit the fitting geometry correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a permanent, leak-free connection, follow these best practices:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the copper pipe ends are cut square and deburred to prevent damaging the internal O-ring.
  2. Insertion: Mark the pipe to the correct insertion depth to confirm it is fully seated within the fitting.
  3. Pressing: Use only M-profile press jaws. Ensure the jaws are clean and free of debris before clamping.
  4. Compatibility: This fitting is designed specifically for copper pipe compliant with relevant standards. Avoid using with damaged or distorted tubing.
  5. Care: Store in a dry, clean environment to protect the integrity of the O-ring seal until installation.
