Pegler XPress SS2 Stainless Steel Female Threaded Iron 15mm to 42mm

The Xpress 316 Stainless Steel Female Threaded Iron, code SS2, is a straight connector with an XPress press end and a parallel female Rp thread, and we sell it in 15mm x 1/2″, 22mm x 3/4″, 28mm x 1″, 35mm x 1 1/2″ and 42mm x 1 1/2″ for engineers on stainless water and heating work. It brings the tube onto valves, strainers, pump sets, drain cocks and gauges.

Aalberts make it in 316L stainless with an EPDM O-ring, an insert stop and the Leak Before Pressed feature. The 35mm x 1 1/2″ is handy when the valve body is a size up from the pipe.

Make the threaded joint first, with tape or compound suited to what the pipe carries, holding the body on its flats. Then mark the depth and press with M-profile jaws. For a fixed run, look at the SS2LC slip version. Both are in our XPress 316 stainless steel press fit category.

Common Questions

What thread is on the Xpress 316 Stainless Steel Female Threaded Iron? A parallel Rp female thread, which takes a standard taper male BSP fitting. Seal it with PTFE or a suitable compound.

What happens if I forget to press a joint? XPress fittings have a Leak Before Pressed feature, so an unpressed joint weeps when the system is filled and tested. Find it and press it before handing over.

Which jaws do XPress stainless fittings need? They use the M press profile, so press them with M-profile jaws or collars of the right size. Check your tool covers the size before you start.

Is XPress stainless approved for drinking water? Yes, WRAS is among the approvals Aalberts list for it. It is also listed for heating, chilled water, compressed air, solar and sprinklers.
