PremPress Stainless Steel Press Fit Coupling

Ideal for extending pipe runs or joining two sections of equal diameter pipe, this press fit coupling offers a straightforward and highly reliable connection within stainless steel systems. Its simple, straight-through design makes it a core component in both new installations and system modifications. Manufactured from 316L stainless steel, it provides excellent protection against corrosion and ensures durability across a wide range of environments, from plant rooms to demanding industrial settings. The precision-engineered press ends deliver consistent joint integrity when used with M-profile pressing tools, supporting fast and efficient installation.

The EPDM sealing element (FKM alternative available) is designed to maintain a dependable seal under varying temperatures and pressures, while the integrated leak detection feature ensures any unpressed connections are immediately apparent during system testing. This helps installers quickly identify and rectify issues before commissioning. With WRAS and DVGW approvals, this fitting offers a dependable solution for high performance pipework systems where reliability and ease of installation are essential.

Before beginning installation, ensure the pipe has been cut cleanly and deburred to protect the seal and ensure a proper fit. For more information, please visit the "More Info" section on the Category Page.

1. Marking the insertion depth: Mark the correct insertion depth on the pipe using the centre divit on the fitting. This visual reference allows you to quickly confirm that the pipe is fully inserted before pressing, helping to avoid incomplete joints.

2. Inserting the pipe: Push the pipe fully into the fitting until it reaches the marked depth. You should feel a positive stop as the pipe seats correctly inside the fitting, ensuring the seal is positioned as intended.

3. Pressing the fitting: Position a compatible press tool with the correct M-profile jaw around the fitting and activate the tool to complete the press. The fitting will compress around the pipe, creating a permanent mechanical connection while simultaneously forming a secure seal.

4. Testing the system: Once installation is complete, carry out a pressure test in line with site or system requirements. This confirms that all joints have been properly pressed, with any missed connections designed to be identified during testing for added reliability.
