So what are the benefits?
XPress fittings are WRAS and DVGW approved
No soldering or adhesive is used when jointing Xpress
Less finishing & cleaning is required due to the clean internal bore of the fitting
Pipe and fitting can be wet when jointing
Used for new build and large-scale public sector projects as well as domestic installation
Savings can be made over more traditional jointing methods
No naked flames mean improved safety
No carbon deposits, solder runs or flux residue means less risk of corrosion
They have WRAS Approval
The XPress stainless steel System is designed to give optimum performance and cost savings for commercial and industrial potable water applications. To meet this requirement all XPress Copper and XPress Stainless Steel fittings are tested to ensure they comply with the United Kingdom Water Regulations.
They have a 25 Year Guarantee
The XPress Copper, XPress Gas, XPress Stainless Gas and XPress Solar ranges are guaranteed against all manufacturing defects for 25 years
They have an LBP Feature - Leak before press
A fail Safe Feature for XPress Copper press-fit fittings First, the unique patented fitting creates three leak paths without compromising the "O" ring seal. Second, the LBP feature means that any assembled but un-pressed joints will leak during testing and can therefore be easily identified. This can save time in commissioning and prevent subsequent site visits.
They are Available
XPress Copper fittings are available in sizes from 15mm to 108mm for use in water, heating and chilled applications. Fittings are compressed onto the tube using a manual press-fit tool, or radial pressing tongs. This process is a heat-free operation that uses no solders or additional jointing materials. Xpress press-fit joints can be prepared, assembled and completed in half the time it takes to make a capillary or screwed steel joint.
There is Lots of Choice
Xpress Copper
For use on hot and cold water services, vented and unvented closed circuit heating, chilled water and oil free compressed air
Xpress Stainless Steel
Designed for potable water applications where water quality and hygiene are crucial, particularly in the food, pharmaceutical and health care industries.
Xpress Carbon Steel
For use in heating and chilled water applications. XPress fittings achieve a sound joint through the exertion of pressure from a press-fit tool; a purpose designed ‘O’ ring provides the mechanism by which a perfect seal is created. The whole XPress range guarantees electrical continuity once the joints are pressed. Guarantees
XPress Carbon fittings are guaranteed for 5 years against all manufacturing defects when installed along with other manufacturers' tubes conforming to the specified standard.
Where pipelines are constructed exclusively from XPress Carbon fittings and tubes, the resulting installations will qualify for a 10 year guarantee against all manufacturing defects.
There is a 25 Year Guarantee
The XPress Copper, Gas and Stainless ranges are guaranteed against all manufacturing defects for 25 years when installed along with other manufacturers' pipeline components conforming to the specified standard.
Or a 30 Year Guarantee
Where pipelines are constructed exclusively from compatible XPress Copper, Gas and Stainless fittings and tubes, the resulting installations will qualify for the Xpress 30 year guarantee against all manufacturing defects.
Qualifying Systems for the guarantees are...
XPress Copper fittings and Yorkex copper tube
XPress Gas fittings and Yorkex copper tube
XPress Stainless fittings and stainless steel 316 System tube
To qualify for guarantees, all products must be installed in accordance with Pegler Yorkshire instructions
