Frequently asked questions

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