Product detailed description
Press connectors are essential components in modern plumbing and heating installations where PEX/AL/PEX tubing is used. They enable secure, leak-free connections in residential and commercial buildings, including underfloor heating systems, domestic hot and cold water distribution, and radiant heating applications. Installers working on such systems require reliable fittings that can be joined using a certified pressing tool. This TYTAN press connector is intended for use in systems where dimensional stability and long-term performance are critical. Its design allows for accurate alignment and secure engagement with the tubing during installation.
When installing press connectors, it is important to ensure that the tubing is correctly prepared and free from burrs or deformations. The press tool must be calibrated and compatible with the connector type to avoid under- or over-pressing. These fittings are commonly used in conjunction with expansion joints and valves in larger systems, and their robust construction makes them suitable for concealed installations behind walls or beneath floors.

The connector is sized specifically for 32 mm nominal diameter tubing and is designed for use with PEX/AL/PEX pipe types. The dimensions and material properties ensure compatibility with standard pressing tools and system pressures. The
nickel-plated
brass construction provides resistance to
corrosion and wear, making it suitable for both potable water and heating applications. The 10-year warranty reflects the expected durability under normal operating conditions.Installation and connection
To install the TYTAN press connector, first ensure that the PEX/AL/PEX tubing is cut cleanly and deburred. Slide the connector over the tube and position it according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Use a calibrated pressing tool to apply the required force and create a secure joint. Check that the tool is set to the correct depth to avoid misalignment. Common installation errors include using incorrect tooling, failing to clean the tube surface, or applying uneven pressure during pressing. Always verify the connection by inspecting the pressed area for uniformity and alignment.Compatibility and accessories
This press connector is designed for use with PEX/AL/PEX tubing of the appropriate diameter. For complete system integration, ensure that all components, including valves, expansion joints, and manifolds, are compatible with the same tubing type. Additional items such as pressing tools, sealing rings, and protective caps should be sourced separately. The nickel-plated brass material ensures compatibility with most standard system components.Technical background for designers
Press connectors operate by creating a mechanical seal between the tubing and the
fitting body through a controlled pressing process. The nickel-plated brass material offers good
thermal conductivity and resistance to galvanic corrosion when in contact with other metals. The design allows for tight integration within closed-loop systems and minimises thermal expansion effects. Long-term performance depends on correct installation, adherence to system pressure limits, and the quality of the pressing process. The 10-year warranty indicates the expected service life under normal operating conditions.Service and operation
No regular maintenance is required for this press connector once it has been properly installed. However, periodic visual inspections are recommended to check for signs of wear, leakage, or damage. If any issues arise, the affected section should be isolated and repaired or replaced. The 10-year warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.Frequently asked questions
Can this press connector be used with PEX/AL/PEX tubing only?
This connector is specifically designed for PEX/AL/PEX tubing and is not suitable for other types of flexible piping.
Is a specific pressing tool required for installation?
A certified pressing tool compatible with TYTAN connectors must be used to ensure a secure and leak-free connection.
What is the warranty period for this connector?
The product comes with a 10-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions.
Can this connector be used in concealed installations?
Yes, provided the installation is performed correctly and the connection is verified for integrity before concealment.
