Product Information

Full details

The PrimaPress Pressfit 45 Degree Obtuse Street Elbow is an essential component for professional plumbers and contractors working on water, gas, or glycol systems who require a secure, rapid connection. Its standout feature is the integrated 'leak before press' detection system, which ensures that unpressed joints are identified immediately during pressure testing. While it offers unparalleled reliability, users must ensure they are using M-profile press jaws to maintain system compatibility and warranty coverage.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the warranty period?

The PrimaPress fitting comes with a 50-year warranty covering manufacturing defects.

Can I use this for gas lines?

Yes, the fitting is rated for use in gas systems, provided local building codes and standards are followed.

Does this require special tools?

Yes, you must use a hydraulic or battery-powered press tool equipped with M-profile jaws.

Is the O-ring replaceable?

No, the internal sealing element is factory-installed and not meant to be serviced or replaced.

What happens if I don't press the joint?

The 'leak before press' feature will allow fluid to pass through the uncompressed fitting during pressure testing, alerting you to the missed connection.

Can this be used with stainless steel pipe?

This product is designed for copper press systems. Consult the manufacturer for compatibility with other pipe materials.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks during initial pressure test

Verify if the joint was pressed. If it was pressed and still leaks, check the pipe for surface scratches or burrs that may have damaged the internal O-ring.

Press jaw will not fit around the fitting

Ensure you are using an M-profile jaw. If using the correct profile, ensure no debris is obstructing the jaw's closing mechanism.

Pipe does not seat fully into the fitting

Check the end of the copper pipe for deformities from the cutting process and deburr the edge thoroughly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated leak detection system prevents accidental oversights
  • Rapid flameless installation reduces labor time significantly
  • 50-year warranty against manufacturing defects
  • High pressure and temperature tolerance suitable for diverse applications
  • Globally recognized WRAS and DVGW safety certifications

Cons

  • Requires specific M-profile pressing equipment
  • Not compatible with V-profile press jaws
  • Requires proper pipe preparation to ensure a secure seal

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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

  1. Preparation: Cut the 28mm copper tube squarely, ensuring no burrs remain on the edge of the pipe as these can damage the internal O-ring.
  2. Insertion: Push the tube into the fitting until it reaches the stop; failure to fully insert may compromise the integrity of the press.
  3. Pressing: Secure the M-profile press jaws around the bead of the fitting. Ensure the jaws are perpendicular to the tube axis.
  4. Testing: Perform a pressure test immediately after installation to verify the seal.

Compatibility: This fitting is exclusively designed for use with M-profile press jaws. Mixing with other jaw profiles will result in an improper seal and void the warranty. Maintain the system by checking for physical signs of corrosion if used in high-moisture environments, though the copper composition provides high natural resistance.
