Frequently Asked Questions

• What tools do I need to install this fitting? Press fittings require specialized crimping pliers with the correct jaw type (commonly labeled B, F, or TH depending on the system) matching the size and type of the fitting - without the proper tool, the joint cannot be made or checked.
• How do I know the joint has been pressed correctly? Quality press fittings have a press indicator (e.g. a sealing O-ring that leaks if the pressing is not completed) - a pressure test of the whole system must always be carried out before the fitting is embedded in a wall or screed.
• Can the joint be disassembled after pressing? No, unlike a compression fitting, a pressed joint is permanent and removing it requires cutting out the fitting and replacing it with a new one.
• Must the installation be carried out by a professional? Yes, pressing fittings requires professional skill and correctly calibrated tools - we recommend having it done by a heating engineer/plumber, especially for joints that will be embedded in a wall or screed without the possibility of later inspection.
