The Plumbright Copper Press-Fit Fitting Coupling is designed for professional plumbers and serious DIYers looking for a reliable, flame-free method to join 22mm copper piping. Its primary benefit is the speed and safety of installation through cold press technology, eliminating the need for torches or hot work permits. One caveat to keep in mind is that this fitting requires a compatible M-Profile pressing tool, which is a significant upfront investment for those who do not already own one.

No, these fittings are specifically engineered for copper pipe applications.
No, press-fit couplings are designed for a one-time permanent installation and cannot be reused once compressed.
No, the mechanical press creates a seal using an internal O-ring; supplemental sealants are not required or recommended.
These fittings are designed to handle standard domestic and commercial gas and water pressures, but always verify with local plumbing codes for specific pressure requirements.
No, using an incorrect jaw profile will result in an improper seal and potential joint failure. Only use M-profile jaws.
Check if the pipe was deburred properly; a sharp edge may have cut the O-ring during insertion. If the pipe was not deburred, the fitting must be cut out and replaced.
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the coupling stop and that you are using the correct M-profile jaws. Verify the tool battery is charged.
To ensure a lifetime seal, follow these steps: First, cut the 22mm copper pipe squarely using a pipe cutter. Second, use a deburring tool to remove all internal and external rough edges, as sharp burrs can damage the internal O-ring seal of the fitting. Third, mark the insertion depth according to the manufacturer's specification. Insert the pipe fully into the coupling until it hits the internal stop. Finally, align the M-profile jaws with the fitting's shoulder and depress the tool trigger until the cycle is complete. Store fittings in a clean, dry area to protect the internal O-ring from grit, dust, or chemical exposure.
