Product Information
The product is a pipe fitting designed for installation in a piping system. It is available in two different fitting designs. The correct insertion depth for each product varies depending on the pipe size and the type of connection (XLC Connections, Brass, or Copper). The product is designed to create an effective seal when properly installed.
Important Notes
- Refer to the tables provided in the user manual to determine the correct insertion depth for a given product before proceeding with installation.
- A minimum distance between Press connections is required to avoid distorting the pipe and resulting in an ineffective seal.
- Follow all federal/national, state, and local codes when installing, testing, or performing work on systems.
Product Usage Instructions
- Cut the pipe to the desired length using appropriate cutting tools.
- Measure the pipe according to the required dimensions.
- Insert the product into the pipe based on the correct insertion depth determined from the tables provided.
- Follow the instructions provided by the tool and jaw manufacturer to complete the connection.
- Once all connections have been completed, check the piping system for leaks.
- If a leaky connection is found, re-press the fitting following the provided instructions.
- Perform system testing in accordance with the requirements or codes of any federal/state/local governing body having jurisdiction over the installation. Ensure that pressure testing does not exceed the maximum pressure rating indicated on the product.

PRESS CONNECTION
Compatible with popular press fit tools. This product is designed for use with Type M or thicker copper tubing, and for operating temperatures between 0°F to 250°F (-18°C to 120°C).
IMPORTANT: Follow all federal/national, state and local codes when installing, testing or performing work on systems. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us.
- Step 1 – Cut Tubing: Cut the tubing to the proper length for the installation. Refer to section at top of page to determine fitting design type and appropriate insertion depth. Ensure the cut is straight, and the tubing remains round. Failure to do so may affect the performance of the joint.
- Step 2 – Deburr Tubing: Both inside and outside of the tubing must be cleaned of burrs prior to installation. Failure to properly deburr the interior and exterior of the tubing may result in damage to the product’s O-ring.
- Step 3 – Measure Pipe Insertion Depth: Measuring from the cut, mark the approximate insertion depth appropriate for fitting design.
- Step 4 – Insert Pipe: Insert the tubing into the Press product and slowly turn until the product meets the line drawn in Step 3. Water may be used as a lubricant if desired, HOWEVER NO OTHER LUBRICANTS MAY BE USED.
- Step 5 – Press Fitting: Verify that the pipe is fully inserted to the mark. When installing a flange, bolt the flange end in place before pressing the fitting to the tubing.
- 1/2–2″ Models: Place the jaw of the tool at a right angle to the product and center the jaw on the ring in the connection.
- 2½–4″ Models: Place the proper size XLC ring on the product end.
- Complete the connection in accordance with the tool and jaw manufacturer’s instructions.
The piping system can be checked for leaks once all connections have been completed. In the event a leaky connection is found, re-press the fitting following the instructions above. System testing should be completed in accordance with requirements or codes of any federal/state/local governing body having jurisdiction over the installation. Pressure testing should not exceed the maximum pressure rating as noted on the product.
