Grinnell G-PRESS fittings
www.grinnell.com
The new G-PRESS Copper Fittings provide a complete line of mechanically joined press-fittings for sizes 1/2" through 2" copper tube, and include an innovative feature that helps to ensure a leak-tight seal. Designed to work with hard (drawn tempered), half-hard, and soft (annealed) copper tubes. This system uses a G-press profile, which has the advantage of a 3-point press, which includes two mechanical presses on either side of the bead that securely hold the tube in place and one hydraulic press that crimps the O-ring. GRINNELL Copper G-PRESS Fittings are quick to install and provide an economical, user friendly, flame-free installation. The fittings have a Leak-Before-Press feature molded into the O-ring in two positions which allows the installer to easily identify fittings that have not been pressed properly during the system test. Available in red brass and copper and use EPDM O-ring seals. GRINNELL Mechanical Products
