RAPIDPRESS RUNDOWN
How To Use The RapidPress Depth Gauge
The RapidPress depth gauge is an essential tool for quick and easy pipe work installation.
It ensures the correct insertion depth of the tube into the coupling, creating a leak-free connection. The gauge comes with different measurements, allowing you to measure from 15mm up to 168.3mm.
For sizes 15-108mm, you slide the gauge over the tube’s wall and mark it once inserted to the bottom of the slot. For sizes 139mm and 168.3mm, you use the outside of the gauge for marking.
Adhering to the insertion depths specified in the technical guide it is crucial for achieving sufficient mechanical strength in the press-fit connection. The marked insertion depth on the tube must be visible next to the coupling end after pressing, and the fitting should not exceed 10% of the required insertion depth from the press-fit formed end.
The depth gauge is lightweight and small, making it convenient to carry in your pocket at all times.

RapidPress Deburrer Tool | RapidPress Rundown
The RapidPress Deburrer Tool is designed for use on RapidPress tube from 15-54mm but can also be used on other stainless tubes or pipes. Watch Patrick discuss what the deburrer tool is and how to use it.
RapidPress Rotary Tube Cutter | RapidPress Rundown
The RapidPress rotary tube cutter is our preferred method of cutting tubes from 15mm – 76mm as it leaves a burr free edge on the external of the tube. Watch Patrick discuss how to use this tool.
RapidPress Expansion Bellows | RapidPress Rundown
When pipelines are heated or cooled it can cause them to expand or contract in length. If this is not compensated for it can put extreme pressure on welds or pressed joints resulting in failure. Watch Patrick discuss our RapidPress Expansion Bellows.
RapidPress Bends vs Elbows | RapidPress Rundown
In our RapidPress bends range we stock Female-Female bends and Male-Female bends available in both 90 degree and 45 degree configurations. In our elbows range we stock a Male Female 90 degree elbow. Watch Patrick discuss the difference between our RapidPress bends and elbows.
