Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a lifetime seal, follow these setup and maintenance protocols:
- Pipe Preparation: Ensure the copper pipe end is deburred and free of any debris or scratches. An uneven surface can compromise the internal O-ring seal.
- Tool Selection: Use only calibrated press tools fitted with M-profile jaws. Using incompatible jaw profiles will prevent a uniform crimp and result in leaks.
- Insertion: Fully insert the pipe into the fitting until it hits the internal stop to ensure proper engagement with the internal seal.
- Maintenance: While the system is largely maintenance-free once installed, always perform a leak test at the maximum operating pressure before commissioning the line. Avoid using abrasive chemicals on the fitting exterior, as this can degrade the protective finish.
