Easy-to-install Permasert system
In addition to saving time and money, using a Perfection Gas Distribution System instills the confidence of knowing you will repeatedly achieve a safe gas-tight connection. Our easy five-step installation procedure assures you of consistent positive connections that prevent pull-out of the pipe or tubing.

Cut the PE piping so that the end is square.   Wipe with a clean dry cloth. Inspect the last several inches of the PE piping for damage. If any, cut again to remove damaged area.

Use the Perfection chamfering tool for a proper O.D. Chamfer. This chamfer permits the PE piping to be completely stabbed without affecting the internal seals.   Use a soft felt tip pen, crayon or grease pencil to mark the stab depth as indicated on your Permasert package instructions. The stab depth is the approximate distance from the edge of the fusion bead to the end of the fitting body.

Stab the PE piping into the Permasert fitting so that the stab depth mark is visible:
  • Within 1/8" of moisture seal on 1/2" CTS and 1" CTS sizes
  • Within 1/4" on all other sizes through 1-1/4" CTS
  • Approximately 3/8" on 1-1/4" IPS and 2" IPS sizes
The PE piping must bottom out in the fitting. Pressure test the joint in accordance with your standard procedures. The reference mark can move outward up to an additional 3/8" during pressure testing.
