Press type end connections eliminate the need for soldering, reducing labor and material costs and eliminating the fire hazard associated with the process. Press to connect connections are designed for installation onto ASTM B88 types K, L and M hard drawn copper tubing. Coiled (annealed) soft copper tubing is not recommended, but can be used if ends are made round. Fittings in nominal sizes 1/2 to 4 in feature molded recess O-rings, which when un-pressed, create leak paths at multiple points during the pressure test, to quickly identify an un-pressed joint. Available in nominal tubing sizes 1/2 to 4 in. 1/2 to 2 in sizes use VUS profile jaws and 2-1/2 to 4 in sizes use XL-C profile jaws. Threaded adapters are lead-free brass.
