Copper Press Fittings

Benefits

• Fast installation: Up to 60% quicker than traditional soldering methods.
• No heat or solder required: Ideal for live sites and sensitive areas.
• Reliable performance: Permanent, watertight connection.
• High resistance to corrosion: Suitable for long-term use.
• Environmentally friendly: Copper is recyclable and sustainable.

Applications

• Domestic and commercial hot & cold water systems.
• Heating circuits, including radiators and underfloor heating.
• Chilled water and cooling systems.
• Potable water installations (certified models only).
• Gas pipe systems (specific gas-rated press fittings).

Key Features

• Manufactured from high-grade copper or copper alloy.
• Available in elbows, tees, reducers, couplings, and threaded adapters.
• Compatible with leading press tools and jaw profiles (e.g., M-profile, V-profile).
• High-pressure rating—typically up to 16 bar.
• Thermal resistance—suitable for temperatures up to 110°C.
• Includes sealing elements (e.g., EPDM, HNBR, or FKM) depending on application.

Usage & Technical Info

The pipe must be cut cleanly and deburred before insertion. Check the fitting depth markings to ensure a fully seated connection. Use the correct press tool and jaw type as per manufacturer specifications.

Typical technical ratings:

• Pressure: Up to 16 bar (heating and potable water).
• Temperature: -20°C to +110°C, depending on the seal type.
• Material compatibility: Suitable for copper and copper alloy pipes.
• Seal type: EPDM (water), HNBR (gas), or FKM (high temp).

Always adhere to local installation regulations and manufacturer recommendations.
