Frequently asked questions

• What tools do I need to install this fitting? Press fittings require specialized crimping pliers with the correct jaw type (commonly marked B, F, or TH depending on the system) matching the size and type of the fitting - without the correct 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 pressing is incomplete) - before the joint is embedded in a wall or screed, a pressure test of the whole system must 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 entrusting the work to a heating engineer/installer, especially for joints that will be embedded in a wall or screed without the possibility of later inspection.
