Z-PRESS now with 35 mm jaws

The Z-PRESS press tool from Zupper is constantly being quality reviewed to enhance its capabilities. The PZ-1930 Tool box case now features a set of jaws up to 35 mm along with the two batteries and charger. The PZ-1930 is a compact m-profile press tool that uses hydraulic battery power to press fittings to closure. The use of press fittings in heating, hot water, HVAC and plumbing applications is increasingly becoming the choice medium for plumbers and heating engineers. This is due to the reliability and quality nature of press fittings such as Press-Tite and other manufacturers. These press fittings are now available for water and gas pipeline installations, with a full range of fittings and valves available.

The Z-PRESS PZ-1930 press tool box is an affordable way to buy a press tool for new engineers and professional trades. As it now includes m-profile jaws from 15 mm through to 35 mm it means that it has increased applications for larger pipeline systems. Cubralco is the leading distributor of Z-PRESS tools and offers a full range of jaws in various profiles such as TH, V and U-Profiles. This allows for varying trades in the air conditioning and underfloor heating industries to use the Z-PRESS range of tools.

M-profile press tools are specialised tools used for pressing and connecting pipes, particularly in plumbing, heating, and gas installations. The “M-profile” refers to the specific contour of the press jaws and fittings, which is often used for metal pipes like copper, stainless steel, and carbon steel.

Below are just some of the professionals and industries that commonly use M-profile press tools:

  1. Plumbers:
  • Plumbers use M-profile press tools for creating secure and reliable connections in water supply systems, both in residential and commercial settings. These tools are used for pressing fittings onto pipes to create leak-proof joints without soldering or welding.
  1. HVAC Technicians:
  • HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) technicians use M-profile press tools when installing or repairing heating and cooling systems. These tools help create strong connections in the pipework that carries refrigerants, water, or gas in HVAC systems.
  1. Gas Installers:
  • Professionals who work on gas lines, such as those installing natural gas or propane systems in homes and industrial settings, use M-profile press tools to ensure tight, secure connections that meet safety regulations.
  1. Fire Protection Specialists:
  • In fire sprinkler systems, M-profile press tools are used to install and connect pipes that carry water or other fire-suppressant agents. These tools ensure that the pipe connections are secure and can handle high pressure.
  1. Industrial Pipe-fitters:
  • Pipe-fitters in industrial settings, such as factories or chemical plants, use M-profile press tools for connecting pipes that carry various fluids and gases under different temperature and pressure conditions.
  1. Maintenance Technicians:
  • Maintenance technicians in large facilities (hospitals, hotels, manufacturing plants) may use M-profile press tools for repairs and upgrades to existing piping systems, ensuring that the work can be done quickly and with minimal disruption.

The key advantage of M-profile press tools is that they allow for fast, reliable connections without the need for open flames (as in soldering), which enhances safety and efficiency, particularly in environments where fire risks need to be minimised.
