Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a lifetime seal, follow these guidelines for setup and care:
- Preparation: Ensure the pipe end is deburred and cleaned of any debris or oxidation before inserting it into the fitting.
- Tooling: Use only calibrated M profile press jaws. Using incorrect jaw profiles can result in improper compression and eventual leaks.
- Insertion: Mark the insertion depth on the pipe to ensure it is fully seated against the fitting shoulder.
- Maintenance: While the system is virtually maintenance-free, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the exterior of the fitting to prevent surface degradation.
- Storage: Keep fittings in original packaging until ready for use to prevent environmental contamination of the sealing O-ring.
