What is Zetco Press-fit?
Zetco Press-fit is a range of ball valves, designed and manufactured with a built-in press connection.
This means fewer joints, less mess and major savings with reduced installation time. The integral
connection eliminates the use of additional fittings which means fewer leak points for every valve.
The range is manufactured under Zetco’s high standards in Italy. Rigorous design and testing has taken
place to ensure that Zetco’s premium quality is evident in this new range.
See the full range on the inside of this flyer.
Certification
The gas ball valves are certified by the Australian Gas Association (AGA) to AS 4617 and tested to DVGW
VP614. The water valves are WaterMarked by Iapmo R&T Oceana to AS 5830.1. The press-fit ends have
been tested to AS3688 and the material composition complies with AS2345.

STEP 1
Refer to the design guidelines overleaf for important dimensions
which must be considered prior to installation.
Use only Type A & B copper pipe complying with AS 1432.
Cut the copper pipe to the required length.
STEP 2
Carefully deburr the end of the pipe;
- INSIDE to minimise turbulence and pressure loss, and
- OUTSIDE to avoid damage to the o-ring during insertion.
For existing installations, ensure that the copper pipe complies
with AS 1432 and is free of defects and in good condition.

Brazing or soldering close to press joints may result in damage to the o-rings.
The table below shows the minimum distance required between a press joint and any brazing
activity. In cases where this distance cannot be achieved, ensure that the valve or fitting is
adequately protected from heat and kept cool during the brazing procedure.
STEP 5
Push the valve or fitting onto the copper pipe up to the insertion
depth. Recheck engagement with the pipe prior to pressing.
NOT SUITABLE FOR
Solar hot water systems, medical gases, refrigeration and airconditioning gases, acetylene, urea solution, glycerin triacetate,
coolant inhibitor, sodium hydroxide or ammoniac gases.
