Usage & Technical Info

Pipe ends should be cut square using a dedicated pipe cutter and deburred prior to insertion. Ensure the fitting is fully seated before pressing. Marking depth indicators are recommended to ensure correct insertion.

Press around the fitting using the correct jaw profile as specified by the manufacturer. Always verify system compatibility (e.g., pressure ratings, thermal resistance) before installation.

Typical ratings:

• Pressure: Up to 16 bar (dependent on material and fitting design).
• Temperature: Up to 110°C for heating systems.
• Suitable for potable water if approved according to local standards.
