An Overview of the Rhinox-Wepit Brass Press Fittings

Rhinox’s press fitting is the press fit system made with non-combustible techniques. They are used with Rhinox Multilayer Composite Pipe. The Press Jaw compresses the stainless steel sleeve to hold the pipe to its core. It is designed uniquely based on each diameter of the fitting. These fittings use an outstanding press-fit system that ensures maximum longevity and strength.

Brass CW617N Used for Designing the Fitting’s Body

The body of the Rhinox press fittings is made of brass nickel. Note that the nickel plating only remains on the surface and does not have any contact with the fluid carried. The body comprises mainly two parts – one is visible while the other enters the tube. The latter one is referred to as the hose holder. It features a unique anti-slipping sawtooth profile and houses two O-rings that ensure a proper hydraulic seal.

Seals in the O-Rings

Each end of the fitting enters the pipe. The ends are equipped with two pre-lubricated EPDM O-rings. They ensure a watertight seal. Evidently, they can accommodate the different expansion rates of the materials used in the system. If the pressing is incorrect or incomplete, the fitting may leak visibly during the testing phase.

Bush Holder Ring

The prime USP of the Rhinox press fittings is that they feature a blue plastic collar that comes with sight holes. This feature facilitates proper installation. Through the sight holes, the installer will know that the pipe is inserted completely into the fitting before the pressing phase.

Stainless Steel Sleeve

The AISI 304 grade stainless steel sleeve is marked with the thickness of the corresponding pipe, diameter, and the pressing profile, which are U, H, and TH. It is produced by a drawing process that ensures ~ 160 Hv hardness for safe and uniform pressing.

Rhinox-Wepit System – A Few Technical Features

Rhinox-Wepit System has some excellent technical features. The following are the technical features of the Rhinox-Wepit System:

Visible Leakage

Unpressed or defective parts that connect with one another may have visible leaks. So, during pressure testing with water, these leaks will be visible. So installers can easily identify and address these leaks and ensure an accurate and reliable installed system.

Seamless and Easy Installation

The combination of the Sawtooth and retaining rings present on the brass fittings helps achieve a higher retention force in the fitting within the pipe. This prevents the fitting from slipping out during the installation phase. Such a design facilitates seamless alignment and pressing, thereby improving the installation process.

Insertion Depth Control

The insertion depth in the Rhinox press fittings is always visible. This ensures that the pipe is pushed out correctly onto the fitting while installing. This feature allows for the system to be pre-mounted. Moreover, it easily allows for verifying every connection and its position before they are ready to press.

Mechanical Stress Resistant

Rhinox press fittings feature innovative design, intuitive installation features, and a safe sealing mechanism. So, it improves their ability to withstand sudden mechanical shocks and loads, thereby offering stability under challenging conditions.

Optimum Flow

When it comes to the piping system, reliability and optimal performance are significant. The Rhinox-Wepit fittings come with a larger inner bore, which is advantageous for pipes having smaller diametres. Note that the impact of the inner bore is most significant on pressure loss. The feature ensures that customers can enjoy effective flow performance and maximise the potential of the fitting range.

We have built a new design of brass fittings with the above features that offer stability and durability during demanding conditions. Seek consultation from us to learn more about our fittings.
