The Devolvement of VV Press Connection Technology

The Devolvement of VV Press Connection Technology

Any kind of connection system of development and application , should be based on the connection technology . Pipe connection parts , is the most vulnerable in the pipeline system , the most easy to cause accident , which caused the failure of piping system , stop using and maintenance of direct economic loss and indirect loss. Therefore , the stainless steel pipe connection technology in the water supply system , gas system on mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and service life ofthe study , is to ensure that the necessary forpipeline safety via.

There is always much discussion about which profile is better, “M” or “V”. At times and for general plumbing installations, the performance criteria are similar, if not the

same for these profiles. However, there are differences in the higher end performance for each profile.

Let’s begin with history; The first press system was developed back in the 1950’s, was patented in 1962 and was the “M” profile. At the time, the system was granted a 50 year patent protection making it difficult for any competitors. Many years later, in 1989, the “V” profile was developed and released to market.

There is difference in the press profile and the way the force is applied to the fittings when being pressed. As you will see in the above images, the “M” profile fitting allows for2 press points, while the “V” Profile fitting allows for 3 and “VV” Profile allows for only 5 press points. This has a dramatic effect upon the overall security and pressure rating of the actualjoint.

All manufacturers of press fittings use the same raw materials and are certified to the same standards. The biggest difference is the profile of the fittings and the tooling

used. Based on all of this information, if you are looking for the maximum safety in any installation, “VV” Profile fittings is most reliable connection.

So, the next time you have a project and decide to use Stainless Press, ensure you use the right product that is fit for purpose and offers you the greatest security for your

workmanship. For expert advice on any installation, please refer to our technical department.
