FAQs

What is the primary advantage of using Xpress press-fit fittings?

The main advantage is the speed and ease of installation due to the heat-free press-fit technique, which significantly reduces labor time and eliminates the risks associated with soldering.

Can I use these fittings for gas pipes?

No, the Pegler Yorkshire Xpress fittings are explicitly not suitable for gas applications. They are designed for water and heating systems only.

What does 'Leak Before Press' technology mean?

Leak Before Press (LBP) is a safety feature that ensures any joints that are correctly assembled but have been mistakenly not pressed will leak immediately upon testing. This helps identify installation errors quickly.

What pipe sizes are available for this type of fitting?

The Xpress system, including this Equal Tee, is available in common plumbing sizes such as 15mm and 22mm. Multipacks are also offered.

What is the maximum operating temperature and pressure?

The fittings are rated for a maximum temperature of 110°C at 16 Bar pressure, and a minimum temperature of -24°C at 16 Bar pressure.

Do I need special tools to install these fittings?

Yes, you will need a compatible press tool with the correct 'M' press jaw size for the fitting (e.g., 15mm for this 15mm tee).

What warranty comes with the Xpress fittings?

Pegler Yorkshire offers a 25-year manufacturer's guarantee on their Xpress fittings.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaks after pressing

This usually indicates an incomplete press. Re-press the fitting with the correct jaw size and ensure the tool completes its cycle. Check for obstructions or damage to the tube end. Verify that the fitting was pushed fully onto the pipe before pressing.

Press tool fails to actuate

Ensure the tool is fully charged (if battery-powered) or properly connected (if manual). Check that the correct jaw size is installed and securely locked in place. Consult the press tool's manual for specific troubleshooting steps.

Leak Before Press (LBP) indicator shows a leak before testing

This signifies that the fitting was not pressed correctly or was not fully seated on the pipe. The LBP feature works by allowing a small amount of water to escape if the press has not been completed. Remove the fitting, inspect the tube and fitting, and re-press correctly.

Difficulty sliding fitting onto pipe

Ensure the copper tube end is clean, round, and free from burrs or deformation. Lightly chamfering the edge of the tube can help. Do not force the fitting; inspect both the tube and the fitting for damage.

  5. Position the jaw squarely over the fitting and actuate the press tool until the cycle is complete.
