MLCP Press Fit Equal Straight Connector
Product details
An MLCP press fit straight connector joins two lengths of multilayer pipe (MLCP or PEX-AL-PEX) of the same size. It's the everyday coupling for underfloor heating manifold tails, radiator circuits and plumbing runs. Press it with a U-profile jaw and the joint is made in seconds, with no threads to seal.
Why installers use it
- Press x press: both ends take the same size pipe, from 16mm up to 32mm.
- Specification: brass body, stainless steel press sleeve with an inspection window and insulating ring, and factory-fitted EPDM O-rings.
- Rated for heating and water: maximum working pressure 10 bar and maximum continuous temperature 80°C (95°C peak). Suitable for heating, underfloor heating and hot and cold water.
- Easy to check: the inspection window shows the pipe is fully home before you press.

How to fit it
