For reliable pipe installation within technical building equipment, Roth developed its PressCheck plastic fitting from the high-performance plastic PPSU (polyphenylsulphone), which has proven itself millions of times over to date. Roth is a specialist in plastics processing and incorporates its many years of expertise in high-tech plastics into the development of Roth plastic fittings.
The slim and compact design gives the fitting body maximum mechanical strength and enables convenient installation - especially in narrow and angled installation situations. Slippage of the pipe fitted onto the fitting body is effectively prevented due to its special contour. The unit of pipe and fitting therefore no longer needs to be additionally stopped by the installer during installation. This facilitates pressing in vertical pipe runs in particular and thus offers significant advantages in terms of processing comfort and processing speed.
Viewing windows in the stainless steel pressing sleeve ensure visual control of the correct pipe positioning. Thanks to the rotating mechanism of the pressing sleeve, the processor has the possibility of an "all-round check".
In the event of damage to the stainless steel pressing sleeve, the stainless steel pressing sleeve, which is captively pre-mounted on the fitting body at the factory, can be replaced on site by the fabricator with a simple movement of the hand. The special shape of the stainless steel pressing sleeve enables precisely defined pressing jaw guidance for the pressing tool and thus ensures reliable pressing. Roth plastic fittings are installed with the proven Roth pressing tool.
In addition to the clearly visible and tangible pressing pattern for visual and haptic control of the correct pressing, which is tried and tested at Roth Fittings, the Roth PressCheck offers an additional plus in terms of safety.
A forced leak in the unpressed state, in accordance with DVGW worksheet W534, enables the Roth PressCheck to ensure a safe pipe installation: as part of the leak test, a defined amount of water escapes from an unpressed connection, which means that a leak in the overall system can be identified immediately. If a grouting operation is inadvertently forgotten under the stress of construction site operations, expensive consequential damage can be safely avoided when the leak test is carried out. After pressing Roth plastic fittings with PressCheck, you will receive secure and permanently tight press connections thanks to Roth's proven use of two sealing elements on the basic body of the fitting.
The high-performance plastic PPSU (polyphenylsulphone) has the best results in terms of tensile strength, elongation at break, stiffness, notched impact strength and heat resistance. It is therefore ideally suited for use in drinking water and heating installations. The material is hygienically completely harmless and can be optimally used for all drinking water qualities. Roth fittings are certified according to DVGW worksheet W534 and DIN EN ISO 21003.
