Installation Instructions
- Pipe Pre‑treatment: Cut the stainless steel pipe vertically, deburr the pipe end, clean up metal chips, dirt and impurities before assembly.
- Correct Assembly: Put the EPDM gasket in place, insert the pipe into the Type‑B press‑fit fitting until it reaches the stop position. Ensure the pipe is fully seated.
- Press‑fit Operation: Use dedicated professional press‑fit tools to complete crimping. Avoid improper operation which may cause deformation of V‑groove and sealing failure.
- Pressure Leak Test: Conduct pressure testing after installation to confirm reliable sealing of press‑fit joints.
- Periodic Inspection: Inspect press‑fit connections regularly to guarantee long‑term safe operation of the piping system.
Comply with industrial press‑fit piping specifications and local safety regulations during installation.

FAQ
Q:Can this 304 stainless steel Type‑B press‑fit fitting be buried underground?
A: Outer anti‑corrosion treatment must be carried out before buried installation. Direct burial without protective measures will greatly shorten the service life of the fitting. We can provide customized anti‑corrosion schemes upon your demand.
Q: What is the standard installation method for this stainless steel Type‑B press‑fit fitting?
A: Trim and deburr the pipe end, insert pipe fully into the fitting, then complete crimping with dedicated press‑fit tools. Avoid improper crimping force to prevent V‑groove deformation, achieving stable long‑term leak‑free connection.
Q: Can it withstand pipeline thermal expansion?
A: The fitting belongs to rigid connecting parts. For long‑distance pipelines with obvious temperature changes, it is suggested to install expansion joints to offset stress caused by thermal deformation.
Q:Is it compatible with different stainless steel pipes?
A:Fits standard stainless steel press‑fit pipes. Please confirm pipe outer diameter and wall thickness specification before ordering.
Q:Why pick 304 stainless steel Type‑B press‑fit fitting rather than carbon steel ones?
A:ASTM 304 stainless steel features outstanding rust and corrosion resistance for water, oil, gas and weak acid media. Press‑fit connection brings fast‑on‑site installation, suitable for piping systems in food processing, water treatment, marine engineering and corrosive medium scenarios.
