FAQs

What is the warranty period?

The PrimaPress range comes with a 50-year warranty against manufacturing defects.

Can I use this for gas installations?

Yes, this fitting is suitable for gas applications, provided it is installed in accordance with local gas safety regulations and industry standards.

Are these fittings reusable?

No, press fittings are designed for a single permanent installation and cannot be reused once they have been crimped.

Is the fitting WRAS approved?

Yes, it holds WRAS approval, making it safe for use with potable drinking water systems.

What temperature range can this handle?

The fitting is rated for operations between -10°C and 110°C.

Do I need to solder after pressing?

No, the press-fit technology creates a mechanical seal that is robust enough to not require any additional soldering or adhesives.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaks during pressure test

Verify if the fitting was fully pressed. Ensure the pipe was de-burred properly before insertion as sharp edges can damage the internal O-ring seal.

Tool will not fit onto the fitting

Confirm that you are using an M-profile jaw. Other profiles like V or U will not fit correctly and could cause permanent damage to the fitting.

Difficulty inserting pipe into fitting

Check the pipe for ovality or burrs. Ensure the pipe is clean and free of debris. Do not use petroleum-based lubricants as they can degrade the O-ring.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flameless installation eliminates fire risks during plumbing work
  • Rapid press-fit technology reduces labor time and project costs
  • 50-year manufacturing defect warranty provides long-term reliability
  • Certified for use with water, gas, and glycol systems
  • Clear, unpressed leak detection prevents accidental leaks

Cons

  • Requires specific M-profile press tool for proper installation
  • Not compatible with V-profile or other non-M press tools
  • Requires professional-grade copper pipe prep

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a lifetime connection, follow these professional installation steps:

  1. Pipe Preparation: Cut the copper pipe square and use a de-burring tool to remove any sharp edges or debris that could damage the internal O-ring seal.
  2. Marking: Measure the insertion depth of the fitting and mark the pipe to ensure the connection is fully seated.
  3. Pressing: Use a calibrated M-profile press tool. Ensure the jaw is clean and properly aligned around the fitting collar before activating the tool.
  4. Inspection: Perform a visual check to confirm the crimp profile is consistent around the circumference of the fitting.
  5. Storage: Keep fittings in their original packaging in a clean, dry environment until the moment of installation to prevent O-ring contamination.
