Adequate clearance for the press tools must be considered when planning an installation. Please refer to the tool manufacturer's
instructions to determine the minimum distance required to ensure that the tool will clear any obstructions.
Installing Tubing into Pro-Connect
STEP 1: CUT
Step 1 – Match Tubing and Valve Size, Cut Tubing
Match the copper piping with the appropriate Pro-Connect
the pipe and Pro-Connect Press product are clean, undamaged and appropriate for the
intended service. Cut the tubing to the proper length necessary for the installation.
IMPORTANT: The pipe must be long enough to fit inside the Pro-Connect Press product,
not just to reach its face.
The approximate depth that the pipe will be inserted is shown in the table above.
When cutting the pipe, care must be exercised to ensure that it remains round and does
not get flattened into an oval. Failure to do so may affect the performance of the joint.
Step 2 – Deburr Pipe
Both inside and outside of the tubing must be cleaned of burrs prior to installation. Failure to properly deburr the interior and exterior
of the tubing may result in damage to the product's o-ring and cause the product to leak.
Step 3 – Measure Pipe Insertion Depth
Prior to installing the pipe into the Pro-Connect
mark it with felt tipped pen.
Step 4 – Insert Pipe
Insert the pipe into the Pro-Connect
used as a lubricant if desired, HOWEVER NO OTHER LUBRICANTS MAY BE USED. Verify the tubing has been fully inserted into the valve
by measuring the distance between the end of the product and the line drawn on the tubing in Step 3. The line should be no further
than 1/16" (1.5 mm) from the end of the press connection.
Step 5 – Press Fitting
Verify that the pipe is fully inserted to the mark. 1/2–2" Models: Keeping the jaw of the tool at a right angle to the product,
center the jaw on the ring in the connection. Follow the instructions provided by the tool manufacturer to press the connection.
2½–4" Models: Place the proper size XLC ring on the valve end and then press using appropriate jaw. Follow the instructions provided
by the tool manufacturer to press the connection.
Minimum Distance Between Pro-Connect Press Connections
To ensure a proper seal, a minimum distance is required between fittings. Failure to
provide the required distance may distort the pipe, resulting in an ineffective seal.
Flange Connections
When using Isolator Flanges, bolt the flange end in place before pressing the fitting to the tubing.
System Testing
The piping system can be checked for leaks once all connections have been completed. In the event a leaky connection is found,
re-press the fitting following the instructions above. System testing should be completed in accordance with requirements or codes
of any federal/state/local governing body having jurisdiction over the installation. Pressure testing should not exceed the maximum
pressure rating as noted on the product.
