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 crimped correctly? Quality press fittings have a crimp indicator (e.g. a sealing O-ring that leaks if the crimp is incomplete) - before embedding in a wall or screed, a pressure test of the whole system must always be carried out.
• Can the joint be disassembled after crimping? No, unlike a screwed (compression) union, a crimped joint is permanent and disassembling it requires cutting off the fitting and replacing it with a new one.
• Must the installation be carried out by a professional? Yes, crimping fittings requires professional skill and correctly calibrated tools - we recommend entrusting it to a heating engineer/plumber, especially for joints that will be embedded in a wall or screed without the possibility of later inspection.
