Press, push plugs - PPSU

This category includes press and push plugs made from PPSU (polyphenylsulfone) for sealing the ends of ALPEX press pipes in heating and plumbing installations. These plugs are designed for use in systems operating at a maximum temperature of +120°C and pressure rating PN 10. They feature a stainless steel sleeve and an EPDM sealing ring for reliable, leak-free closure. These fittings are ideal for applications where a permanent and secure pipe termination is required without the need for crimping tools.

Press plugs require a crimping tool for installation, while push plugs allow for tool-free insertion and removal, making them suitable for temporary or maintenance-related closures. Both types are compatible with ALPEX press pipe systems and are commonly used in residential and commercial heating, sanitary, and irrigation systems.

How to choose

• Confirm the pipe diameter (e.g., 16 mm) to match the plug size.
• Select between press or push type based on whether a crimping tool is available or if tool-free operation is required.
• Verify compatibility with ALPEX press pipe systems and ensure the operating temperature does not exceed +120°C.
• Check the material composition (PPSU body, stainless steel sleeve, EPDM gasket) for durability and chemical resistance.

Frequently asked questions

Can push plugs be removed after installation?
