Frequently Asked Trade Questions (Installer FAQs)
1. Can this press fit gas female elbow be used on LPG systems?
Yes. The factory-installed yellow HNBR O-ring is fully certified under BS EN 1254-7 and UKLPG Code of Practice 22 for both Natural Gas (methane) and LPG vapour (propane/butane) operating up to 5 bar.
2. What press jaw contour must be used?
These fittings feature an M-profile collar and must be crimped using calibrated M-Profile pressing jaws or slings. Do not use V-profile or U-profile jaws on M-press fittings as this will cause joint distortion.
3. How should the female BSP threaded end be sealed?
When joining to a male BSP taper or parallel thread, use an approved gas-rated anaerobic thread sealant (conforming to EN 751-1) or heavy-duty yellow gas PTFE tape conforming to BS EN 751-3 / BS 4375. Always avoid over-tightening into the copper alloy body.
4. Can this fitting be installed on drinking water pipework?
No. In accordance with UK plumbing regulations, water press fittings use black EPDM O-rings and carry WRAS approval. Gas fittings with yellow HNBR O-rings should remain strictly dedicated to gas installations to maintain full statutory traceability.
5. What tightness testing procedure is required after pressing?
All installations must undergo standard tightness testing in accordance with IGE/UP/1B (tightness testing and direct purging of small installations) or BS 6891 using a calibrated digital manometer before commissioning.
Statutory Gas Safety Notice: In the UK, all gas pipework alterations must be carried out by a competent person holding current Gas Safe Registration in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 (GSIUR).
