PRODUCT OVERVIEW

XPRESS CARBON FEATURES
XPress Carbon Steel is optimised for use as Manufactured from carbon steel
a system. XPress Carbon Steel fittings are Galvanised carbon system tube
now manufactured from EN 100-27-1S205G2T available in 12 to 108mm
(formerly known as Rst 34-2) carbon steel. Plastic coated carbon system tube
The fittings incorporate a black EPDM (Ethylene available in 12 to 54mm
Propylene Diene Monomer) O ring and a unique Leak Before Press
“Leak Before Press” (LBP) design. LBP has been Temperature rating from -35 to 135°C
developed as a final check to the system to Pressure rating 16bar throughout the
provide instant identification of joints that have temperature range
been assembled correctly but mistakenly left Clean, heat free jointing
unpresssed. This feature saves time, money and Safety - no naked flames, no hotwork
potentially expensive call backs. permits or costly insurance
