Frequently Asked Questions

• What tools do I need to install this fitting? Press fittings require a specialised press tool with the correct type of jaw (commonly labelled 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 press indicator (e.g. a sealing O-ring that leaks if pressing is incomplete) - before embedding the joint in a wall or screed you should always carry out a pressure test of the whole system.
• Can the joint be taken apart after pressing? No, unlike a screwed (compression) fitting, a pressed joint is permanent, and taking it apart means cutting out the fitting and replacing it with a new one.
• Does the installation have to be done by a professional? Yes, pressing fittings requires professional skill and correctly calibrated tools - we recommend leaving it to a heating engineer/plumber, especially for joints that will be embedded in a wall or screed with no option for later inspection.
