A ProPress tool is a type of hydraulic press tool designed for joining copper pipes and fittings quickly and efficiently without the need for traditional soldering methods. It is commonly used in plumbing and heating installations. The ProPress system utilizes a specially designed fitting that has a pre-installed sealing element. The ProPress tool itself consists of a hydraulic mechanism that compresses the fitting onto the pipe, creating a secure and leak-free connection.
Here's a basic overview of how a
pro press toolpro press tool works:
Prepare the Pipe: Cut the copper pipe to the desired length and ensure that the ends are clean and smooth.
Insert the Fitting: Slide the ProPress fitting onto the end of the pipe.
Use the ProPress Tool: Place the jaws of the ProPress tool around the fitting and pipe assembly.
Press the Fitting: Activate the hydraulic mechanism of the ProPress tool, which compresses the fitting onto the pipe. This action forms a tight and reliable connection.
The advantages of using a ProPress system include speed, as it eliminates the time-consuming process of soldering, and reliability, as the connections are consistently secure. It is especially useful in situations where open flames for soldering are not preferred or allowed, such as in confined spaces or near flammable materials. Additionally, ProPress connections can be made in wet conditions, making it a versatile solution for various plumbing applications.
