The correct pressing profile for the Gerpex and Gerpex
LBP fittings is shown in the table below.
It is possible to verify that the pressing has been
carried out correctly, checking the dimensions A and B,
measured on the press fitting with a centesimal gauge,
with the values shown in the table. If the dimensions
do not match, the clamp may not have completely
closed or worn.
• Check that the pressing surfaces are clean and that
their opening / closing is regular. If the pressures
still do not conform, it is necessary to have the
pressing machine and the clamps checked at the
service center.
• For profiles B and TH, place the jaw around the steel sleeve, matching the collar of the plastic ring with the
jaw groove. For the other contours the jew must be positioned so as to be in contact with the ring nut.
