When buying a press fitting, the pipe dimensions, fitting shape and approved press profile must match. The name alone is not enough: a press elbow for composite pipe is a different component from a copper fitting or a push-fit coupling. At AKKAYA, fittings for aluminium composite pipe are available on enquiry. Start by listing connection dimensions and quantities, then compare them with the available versions.
Read dimensions from 16 to 40 mm correctly
Depending on the fitting type, the press fitting range includes 16 × 2, 20 × 2, 26 × 3, 32 × 3 and 40 × 3.5 mm. The first number describes the pipe's outside diameter and the second its wall thickness. Couplings, 90-degree elbows and tees are available in different versions; reducing fittings connect different pipe dimensions. For tees, use the connection sequence shown for the specific product version. Not every fitting type covers the entire size range.
TH or U: check approval before choosing the tool
Having a TH or U press jaw does not prove that it is suitable for the fitting you want. The product data explicitly states that the press profile depends on the series and pipe dimensions. Include the tool, jaw profile and pipe dimensions in your enquiry. Only the specific system approval provides a reliable basis for selection. A blanket claim that all fittings offered can be pressed with both TH and U would not be supported by the product data.
Record adapters and threads clearly
For transitions to threaded connections, there are press adapters with female (IG) or male (AG) threads, as well as flat-sealing versions. Depending on the product, the thread sizes offered range from 1/2 to 1 1/4 inches. Copper adapters have their own connection dimensions and versions. Record both ends in full, for example the composite pipe dimensions and the required female thread. Plain brass threaded fittings complement threaded connections; they do not replace a press adapter at the pipe.
Match the pipe, tools and alternatives
Suitable pipe material can be found under aluminium multilayer composite pipes. Pipe cutting and preparation must follow the relevant system instructions. Pipe cutters, calibration tools and approved press jaws serve different purposes; a clean cut does not replace the other required preparation steps. Installation and pressure testing require qualified expertise. This page does not promise tool availability or a tool hire service.
We also offer push-fit fittings as another connection method. Their suitability likewise depends on the pipe type and dimensions. Useful guides cover press profiles and press jaws and press fittings or compression fittings.
Enquire about your selection and arrange delivery
Pipes and fittings are special-order items. Send your parts list with quantities and delivery postcode. We respond with prices, availability and an agreed date; shipping is by arrangement. Collection in Hagen is possible after the goods have arrived and an appointment has been agreed. The Hagen locations page provides directions, while fittings in Hagen explains local enquiries.
Häufige Fragen
Do TH and U work with all press fittings offered?
No, there is no evidence of such a blanket approval. The specific fitting series, pipe dimensions and system approval for the press profile used are decisive.
Which pipe dimensions does the range cover?
Depending on the fitting, sizes range from 16 × 2 to 40 × 3.5 mm. Check the individual product version, as not every fitting type covers every size.
What must I specify for a threaded adapter?
State the pipe dimensions, thread size, female (IG) or male (AG) thread and, where applicable, the flat-sealing version. Both connection ends must match the existing pipework.
Can I use a push-fit fitting instead?
Only if the specific push-fit connector is approved for the pipe type, dimensions and application. The same nominal size alone does not establish that the systems are interchangeable.
How do I order press fittings with shipping?
Send an enquiry listing the fitting types, dimensions, quantities, press profile and delivery postcode. Availability, costs and timing are agreed with you; these are special-order items.
