Press-Tite Achieves Certification for Use with Novopress Press Tools
Selecting the right press fitting system is about far more than convenience. Professional installers rely on proven compatibility between press fittings and the tools used to install them, ensuring every connection is made safely, consistently and in accordance with recognised industry standards. That is why Press-Tite is delighted to announce that its range of M-Profile press fittings and valves has now been officially certified for use with Novopress press tools.
This important milestone provides additional confidence for merchants, contractors and installers who already use Novopress equipment on site. Following an extensive programme of independent testing and validation, Press-Tite fittings successfully met the stringent performance requirements required for certification, with Novopress confirming

Extensive Testing Delivers Proven Performance
Compatibility between press fittings and pressing tools cannot be assumed. Every fitting manufacturer must demonstrate that their products perform consistently with a specific tool platform under controlled testing conditions.
To achieve certification, Press-Tite fittings underwent a comprehensive series of mechanical and performance tests using Novopress press tools and M-Profile jaws. These assessments were designed to evaluate the integrity of the pressed joint across a wide range of operating conditions, ensuring that every connection met the high standards expected within the plumbing, heating and mechanical services industries.
The successful completion of these tests confirms that Press-Tite fittings produce reliable, secure and consistent press joints when installed using approved Novopress equipment.
Greater Choice Without Compromising Quality
Many installers have invested heavily in Novopress tools and value their durability, reliability and precision. The new certification means those customers can now confidently specify Press-Tite fittings and valves without changing their existing tooling.
This provides several important benefits:
- Certified compatibility with Novopress M-Profile press tools
- Confidence that fittings have been independently tested and approved
- Greater flexibility when selecting fittings for commercial and residential projects
- Reduced procurement restrictions for contractors and merchants
- Continued high standards of installation quality and system performance
For distributors and merchants, the certification also expands the appeal of the Press-Tite range by allowing them to support customers who have standardised on Novopress equipment.
