Installation Instructions

Copper Press Fittings Product Range

Cut your pipe cleanly across the tube diameter using a good quality pipe cutter or rotary pipe cutter.

Using your deburring tool, make sure the inside of the pipe is smooth and will not interfere with the flow.

Take care to ensure the tube is not deformed by applying too much pressure. If you need to be more delicate, use of a stiff wire brush is recommended to reach the desired outcome.

Clean the outside of the pipe, making sure that there is no pipe residue, dirt or grit is present near the joint.

Before inserting the pipe, check the O-ring is present, lubricated and free from damage.

Insert the tube into the fitting up until it hits the pipe stop. Mark the insertion depth with a black marker on the tube to ensure the pipe has been fully inserted before pressing.

Ensure you select the correct size jaw and that the jaw is M profile. The jaw must be placed square on the fitting and the joint is only complete when the mouth of the fitting is fully enclosed by the jaws.

After the press cycle is complete remove the jaws and check that the socket depth marking on the pipe has remained in place, adjacent to the now pressed mouth of the fitting.
