Stainless Steel Press Fittings
Enjoy complete peace of mind with the ‘No Leak Solution’ of Europress stainless steel press fittings, available for purchase from Air Energy. The unique, all-new and innovative ‘No Leak Solution” consists of a PressCheck sleeve – a thin blue coloured plastic film applied to the outer seat of the o-ring. This plastic film tears when the fitting is pressed and falls off, therefore any unpressed stainless steel fittings are easily and quickly identified.
Blue Press Checks on SS fittings. Red Press Checks on carbon steel. Yellow Press Checks for natural gas.
‘Press Check’ sleeve peels off when crimping operation is complete. Available on all press fittings up to and including 54mm.
Some stainless steel pipe systems rely on leak-paths to allow uncrimped fittings to deliberately leak. With Press Check, the crimp indicator gives you peace of mind.
When you buy genuine Europress stainless steel press fittings with Press Check sleeves from Air Energy, you receive our assurance of premium quality. If you need an experienced professional to oversee the installation of your compressed air system, or would simply like a comprehensive audit of your existing set-up, get in touch with us today by calling 03 9765 5600.

Where to use BSP Pipe Fitting Stainless Steel?
Air Energy’s stainless steel bsp fittings primarily complement the Europress press fittings but can be used on both the Unipipe aluminium system and the HDPE maxair range. Mostly we recommend brass fittings or high pressure galvanised steel fittings with Unipipe as SS can sometimes gall in contact with aluminium bsp threads.

FAQs
Can you use press fittings on gas?
What is the dissimilarity between M press and B press fittings?
When talking with plumbing installers, one of the most frequent topics is their preference for either the "M" or "V" pressfitting profile. The choice of one or the other is often a matter of "habit". Professionals who are used to a certain profile rarely choose to change to the other.
The reason behind this "habit" is quick to understand: "M" and "V" profiles are both valid, so it is rare that an installer chooses to change profile because they think that one or the other is more "technically" efficient.
What type of fittings are used for gas?
Do BSP fittings need sealant?
BSP fittings areare mostly taper threads but still need sealant, typically a teflon tape. Cheap white teflon tapes are highly pre-stretched, so it needs many more wraps to achieve the same seal as a quality heavy body tape.
We highly recommend use of an anaerobic thread sealant like TITASEAL or some of the LOKTITE range for absolute peace of mind for a leak-free seal. TITASEAL 3577 has a working pressure up to 2000kpa and temp range of -20C to 148C suitable for liquids and gases.
How do you install a press-fitting?
The process is quite simple
- Cut the pipe to length and deburr inside and out.
- Using the depth gauge, witnesses mark the insertion depth.
- Insert the tube fully into the fitting, taking care not to displace the O'Ring.
- Place the jaws of the press tool around the fitting, check alignment and insertion depth.
- Squeeze the trigger until the tool completes the cycle.
