Valves and Fittings
PEGLER QUALITY, SERVICE AN
MORE THAN A CENTURY IN T
Established in 1899 and proud of its time-honoured principles of quality, innovation and customer
service, Pegler is respected the world over as one of the leading manufacturers of 21st-century
plumbing and heating products – products which continue to set the standards for today’s global
market. Out of this great tradition has come the comprehensive Prestex range of valves and fittings.
Prestex quality and pedigree
• Prestex valves and fittings have
long been trusted and respected
in the industry for quality,
design, reliability and overall
value for money.
• Robust construction under the
most stringent quality control
conditions assures a long
working life.
• Pegler investment in advanced
manufacturing techniques to
complement the traditional skills
of the workforce has achieved
BS EN ISO 9001:2000
Quality Assurance accreditation.
• Where appropriate, Prestex
products comply with kite mark
British Standards or the European
norm, and independent testing
and certification ensure that
quality is maintained.
• Every Prestex product is made to
perform better and to last longer
– by any standards, the one true
measure of value for money.
Prestex innovation
• Every valve and fitting in the
Prestex range is the result of
Pegler’s unceasing dedication to
not only finding new and better
solutions to customers’ needs –
but also to further improving
quality and performance through
new and better manufacturing
techniques.
• Products such as Optiflush and
Peglertherm are perfect examples
of how Pegler’s ongoing research
and development continues to
bring innovative new ideas
to the marketplace.
Prestex service
As with all Pegler products, the
Prestex range is supported by
outstanding customer service.
• Friendly and helpful telephone
response.
• Computerised sales ordering
and distribution.
• All the technical support and
advice you could need from
Pegler’s expert team and
dedicated helpline.
Market-leading Prestex fittings
Prestex is the ideal solution for
virtually all domestic and
commercial applications. In fact,
so comprehensive is the Prestex
range that it forms the backbone
of any builders merchant’s
plumbing stock and reputable
plumber’s fittings bag.
• With Prestex compression fittings
you’re safe and secure in the
knowledge that the range is
designed, manufactured and
tested to meet appropriate UK
and international standards,
EN1254.
• Prestex fluid control solutions
meet all the requirements of
water regulations and include
both single and double check
valves for controlling the
direction of water flow.
• For isolating pipes, Prestex gives
you the option of compact ball-
operated isolating valves or, for
heavier applications, gate valves.
Where flow regulation as well as
isolation is required, use stop
valves for in-line control and bib
taps for terminal control
• An extensive range of Prestex
float valves gives water level
control at high and low
pressures.
• More specialist Prestex products
include water-saving Optiflush,
temperature-safe and easy-
maintenance Peglertherm,
and a general range of wastes
and draincocks.

54 GENERAL TECHNICAL INFORMATION

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is a phenomenon
that occurs occasionally with brass compression
fittings. It is almost always introduced during
installation, either from over–tightening of fittings
or contamination from a corrosive substance.
The usual corrosive substance involved in SCC is
ammonia or ammoniacal compounds, which can be
found in cleaning fluids, refrigeration gases, sewage
waste products, building materials, insulating
materials (especially foams) and flame and smoke
retarding treatments. An essential ingredient in the
SCC process is moisture. Moisture on the fitting or
pipework allows the corrosive substance to collect
and become more concentrated. This is a particular
problem in chilled water installations, where
insulating materials allow the condensed moisture
to be retained and kept in close contact with the
fitting surface.
Pegler does not recommend the use of brass
components in chilled water applications.
Where all components upon which the integrity of
the fitting is dependent, ones made from SCC
resistant or immune materials, such as copper or
gunmetal, are recommended. If compression fittings
are used then they should be assembled exactly in
accordance with our published instructions and
securely bound by a moisture barrier such as
Densotape® to prevent moisture build up on the
fitting.
The following installation practices should be
adhered to when installing compression fittings in
order to avoid SCC:
1. Do not overtighten brass components.
2. Use correctly fitting spanners.
3. Use a drop or two of light oil on the threads of
fittings of sizes 35mm and above.
4. Avoid contaminating the threads or nuts with
jointing compounds.
Minimise the risk of contamination from a potential
corrosive substance. Wrapping susceptible fittings
in a vapour barrier or applying impermeable paints
can be helpful in preventing contact with a
corrosive substance.
