Material Compatibility
Dissimilar Metals
Installations containing mixed metals should generally be avoided, as galvanic corrosion may occur when dissimilar metals are connected directly together.
Where mixed-metal systems are unavoidable:
- Follow the Water Regulations Guide.
- Apply recognised engineering best practice.
- Consider suitable isolation measures where required.
1. PREPARATION:
• Ensure the o-ring is present & is seated correctly (not loose in
the fitting).
• Cut the tube square.
2. TUBE PREPARATION:
• Check the tube ends are not damaged.
• De-burr the end of the tube.
• Ensure no sharp edges or swarf are present
3. INSERTION AND DEPTH MARKING:
• Insert the tube into the fitting using a “twisting motion”.
• Using a permanent pen place a mark on the tube to indicate
that the fitting is fully engaged.
• When all tubes are inserted double check the “depth marks”
are in the correct position.
4. PRESS THE JOINT:
• Ensure the correct tool and jaws are selected.
• Place the jaw around the “bead” of the fitting.
• When correctly located press the trigger button to commence
the pressing process.
• The tool will automatically stop when this is complete.
• Remove the pressed assembly from the jaw.
** PLEASE NOTE ***
A pressing sling is required for 42mm & 54mm fittings
5. INSPECTION:
• Check everything is correct.
• The “depth marks” should still be in the same place.
• No damage should be present.
5. INSPECTION:
• Check everything is correct.
• The “depth marks” should still be in the same place.
• No damage should be present.
6. POST PROCESSING:
• Remove the black pressing indicator.
• You now have a fully functional pressed assembly!
