1. Product :

The Press-fit Flange is an innovative, labour saving and inexpensive method of making anti-electrolysis carbon flange connections whenever using copper tube. Pressing provides for a constant quality joining, easily reproduced and with a minimum physical effort by the operator. Major savings in installation time and costs compared with traditional jointing methods. Such installations is completely flame free, with no fumes or emissions while installing.

3. Main Advantages and Features :  

1) Simple installation with no soldering required

2) Universal design suits pressfit applications

3) Available in a wide range of sizes

4) Elimination of all welding materials, with inevitable cost benefits

5) Integrity of pipe insulation thanks to the absence of heat sources

4.  Pressing Tool:

Pressing Jaws profile "M". (like NOVOPRESS,REMS etc.)

5.  1/2” to 2” Installation Instruction:                

1) Cut copper tubing at right angles using displacement-type cuter or fine-toothed steel saw.

2) Remove burr from inside and outside of tubing to prevent cutting sealing element.

3) Check seal for correct fit. Do not use oils or lubricants.

4) Mark proper insertion depth on tubing.

5) While turning slightly, slide press fitting onto tubing to the marked depth.

6) Insert appropriate jaw into the pressing tool and push in,holding pin until it locks in place.

7) open the jaw and place at right angles on the fittings. Visually check insertion depth using mark on tubing.

8) Start pressing process and hold the trigger until the jaw has engaged the fitting.

9) After pressing, the jaw can be opened again.

7.  Frequently Asked Questions:

     Q: How to distinguish the “V” profile and “M” profile of the Press fittings?

     A: The presence of the "Collar" on the "V" profile, located after the pressing chamber, definitely makes inserting the pipe an apparently "cleaner" operation compared to inserting it in the "M" profile.
On the other hand, the Collar makes checking the proper positioning of the o-ring more difficult. 

Q: Which is better, the "M" profile or the "V" profile?

     A: When talking with plumbing installers, one of the most frequent topics is their preference for either the "M" or "V" pressfitting profile. The choice of one or the other is often a matter of "habit". Professionals who are used to a certain profile rarely choose to change to the other.
