100mm Slip Coupling Socket Water Copper Press. The socket on each press fitting is fitted with a rubber ring seal, engineered to provide both a strong and sealed join after being pressed with a press tool. By using a calibrated press tool, each join is permanent and uniform as the join is deformed in two ways. The engineered shaping of the fitting against the tube to provide strength to the join as the primary seal plus, the deformation of the rubber ring seal to form the secondary seal in the encapsulated pocket between the fitting and tube.
Press fittings can only be pressed with a press tool that is fitted with the correct jaw or collar that matches the profile type and diameter of the fitting. After a successful press, a permanent joint between the fitting and the tube is made. Every press tool is slightly different so check with the tool manufacturer for their specifications and operating instructions.
