Download Eurotubi Pressfitting System - Technical Guide

1. INTRODUCTION
The Eurotubi Pressfitting System is an extremely fast and simple pressfitting assembly system, producing
reliable joints with high mechanical resistance, for civil, industrial, naval and fire fighting pipework system
installations.
The diameters currently available range from 12 to 108 mm, depending on the material used. The three
greater diameters of 76.1, 88.9 and 108 mm are commonly called “big size”.
The design and commissioning of these distribution networks require a vast knowledge of technical notions
and local regulations and legislation, potentially varying from country to country. This Technical Guide
provides basic information to:
- assess the fields of application with due skill;
- design the systems according to the latest technological criteria;
- perform the installations up to standard.
In any case it is the task of the designer and/or the installer to ensure that the standards contained in this
Guide are compatible with the local applicable laws. Otherwise, the local applicable laws prevail and
therefore it is not possible to use Eurotubi Pressfitting System.
1.1 Materials
Depending on the application, the following materials are used:
- stainless steel;
- carbon steel;
- cupronickel.
1.2 Benefits
The main benefits of the Eurotubi Pressfitting System are:
- alternative practice to traditional joining methods that require welding and/or threading;
- overall system cost saving;
- fast and easy assembly;
- clean and safe system, with no risk for the installer;
- reliable, secure and long-lasting seals;
- minimal possibility of errors by operators;
- no use of heat sources;
- no fire risk during installation;
- high corrosion resistance;
- high thermal resistance;
- weight significantly reduced compared to traditional metal systems;
- high visual appeal, ideal for visible installations;
- exceptional fluid flowing properties;
- the end quality depends on the equipment rather than on the skill of the operator, who does not need to be
highly qualified.
