Frequently Asked Questions: Pressfit Gas End Cap
Is this press end cap accepted as a permanent gas seal under BS 6891?
Yes, once crimped with an M-profile tool, it forms a permanent non-demountable joint. equivalent to a brazed or soldered cap under BS 6891.
Can I remove or reuse a press-fit end cap?
No, press fittings are permanent and cannot be demounted or reused. If you need to extend the line later, the pipe must be cut cleanly upstream of the fitting.
What press jaw profile is required?
Strictly requires M-Profile press jaws. matching the fitting size (15mm to 54mm).
Can this end cap be concealed in floor voids?
Yes, permitted in accessible floor voids under BS 6891 provided duct ventilation rules are met. protection rules are met.
What is the maximum gas pressure rating?
Rated up to 5 bar (MOP 5) for natural gas and LPG. vapor systems.
How does Leak-Before-Press operate on an end cap?
The HNBR seal deliberately leaks at low test pressures (10 to 50 mbar) if unpressed. showing an immediate drop on your manometer during tightness testing.
