Steps and Tips for Pressing Fittings

With TrustPRESS® press-fits, connections can be made in a fraction of the time required for welding or soldering pipes. In addition, much less training is required to operate the press tool compared to welding, brazing or soldering.

To use press fitting tools, you will need to follow a few simple steps: 

- First, you'll need to choose the correct tool for the job. This will depend on the type and size of the fittings and pipes you are using. 

- Once you have the right tool, you can begin the process of preparing the pipes and fittings. This may involve cleaning, deburring or chamfering the ends of the pipes and fittings to ensure a smooth, even surface.

- Next, you will need to position the fittings on the pipes and secure them in place. This may involve sliding the fitting onto the pipe or using a clamp to hold the fitting in place. 

- Once the fittings are in place, you can begin the pressing process. This involves using the press fitting tool to apply force to the fittings and pipes, creating a tight seal.

With TrustPRESS® press-fits, connections can be made in a fraction of the time required for welding or soldering pipes. In addition, much less training is required to operate the press tool compared to welding, brazing or soldering. This makes TrustPRESS® press-fits an excellent labour-saving solution, especially when installing large pipe systems. As long as the pipe is correctly prepared according to the instructions of the pressing tool system and the piping system respectively, the connection is unbreakable and just as durable as a welded or soldered joint. Many hydraulic pressing tools also have an auto-cycle function that only switches off when the connection is completed, so there is no doubt that pipe and fitting are fully connected.
