Always consider

The 6 stage pressing process:

1. Cut and deburr the pipe
2. Mark the insertion depth on the pipe
3. Prepare the fitting 
4. Insert the pipe in to the fitting
5. Press with the appropriate jaw or collar
6. Remove the pressing indicator

Check you are using the correct material for the required application. Only Geberit Mapress system pipes are suitable to press Geberit Mapress Carbon Steel fittings. To adapt on to existing or dissimilar materials you must use a threaded connection.

Use the correct tooling

Always check that you are using the correct tools, this can be checked in the Geberit Tooling Product Guide and Price List. Make sure that the tools you are using are in a good condition and are calibrated. There should be a sticker on the tool, jaws, collars and adapters to tell you when the tool next needs calibrating.
