A range of WRAS approved, brass bodied, press fittings for use with Emmeti Gerpex MLCP. Profiles are TH for all sizes, B up to 32mm, U, H and F up to 20mm.
Gerpex Press Fittings have been developed to be used with Multi-Layer Composite Pipe as a clean, simple and more efficient alternative to traditional jointing methods such as soldered copper and threaded stainless fittings. With a definite press of each fitting the system will also give more confidence to the installer, developer and end user than push fittings.
The brass bodied fittings with double o-ring technology and combined sight hole, dialectric ring and jaw alignment collar help to ensure that the pipe is fully inserted and pressed correctly, every time.

Design Benefits
- Our high quality Gerpex pipe and fittings are made in-house in our dedicated factories in Italy. Gerpex products are subject to stringent control checks in our purpose built analytical laboratory which are carried out before, during and after production from the raw material analysis through to the finished product performance checks. You can specify and install Gerpex pipe and fittings with total confidence.
- The Gerpex Press Fittings are produced from high quality brass with a double o-ring design for that extra peace of mind. The fittings are far more robust than plastic and composite alternatives.
- When compared to copper and stainless steel the smooth interior surface of Gerpex pipe promotes the smooth flow of water thus considerably reducing pressure drops across the system and minimising running noise reducing maintenance requirements giving the building occupier a more comfortable environment.
Installation Benefits
- Reduced installation time due to the flexibility of the pipe. Installation on site is extremely fast compared to copper and steel systems due to the reduced number of joints required. The pipe can bend readily making the routing of the pipe around the building very quick and easy. Once bent the pipe retains its form so will stay in the desired position.
- The Gerpex pipe has linear expansion characteristics similar to copper and far superior to polybutylene and polypropylene, saving you time and money during installation by reducing the need for additional expansion considerations.
- The product is light compared to copper or stainless steel and our 16-32mm sizes are available in coils up to 500m which are easier to store and transport compared to copper tube which is generally supplied in bundles of 30m. A 200 metre coil of 16mm pipe weighs only 20kg compared to copper which would be 56kg making Gerpex much easier to move around on site.
- Minimal tooling is required to work with the Gerpex pipe, all that is required is a set of pipe cutters or shears, a calibration tool to prepare the end of the pipe and a press fit machine to complete the pressing process.
- Gerpex Press fittings are quicker and easier to install than soldered joints meaning that hot works and the need for hot works permits are eliminated. The process is also a lot cleaner than soldering which makes press fit the ideal solution for sensitive projects such as hospitals or laboratories etc.
- Copper pipe is generally supplied in 3m lengths, Gerpex pipe 16-32mm typically comes in continuous coils of 50m or 100m reducing the number of joints required and saving you money due to less wastage. Coils of up to 500m are available in 16mm to minimise wastage on large projects.
- The Gerpex Press Fittings are produced at our main plant in Italy from high quality brass with a double o-ring design for that extra peace of mind.
- Gerpex is competitive in material price to copper pipe but with many additional installation benefits saving you time and money.
- The raw materials used to manufacture Gerpex Pipe are extremely stable and are not subjected to the high variations in market price as copper and even stainless steel have become
