6918f64e-19b8-40d6-8495-895db6b2f912 >B< Press series P4000, P5000 and P XL press fittings; >B< Press series PG4000 and PG5000 Gas press fittings; >B< Press series PH4000 and PH5000 Solar press fittings The data for the LCA calculation of modules A1-A4 came from verified LCI inventory data from each plant. In accordance with Annex E of EN 15804 + A2, a data quality assessment was carried out. For technical representativeness, processes with a quality level of 'very good' represent 99% of the values for the climate change indicators. For geographical and temporal representativeness, a process evaluation level of "very good" was obtained. The allocation in this study was made in accordance with the ITB PCR A guidelines. The plant in Poznan produces semi-finished and finished products, from where they are sent to the plant in Sady. Similarly, production takes place at the plant in Cordoba from where semi-finished products are sent to the plant in Sady or finished products directly to the customer. At the plant in Sady take place assembly and packaging of semi-finished products and dispatch to customers. At the Pensnett plant, storage and dispatch to the customer take place. The input data was collected for each production site. The allocation of impacts is based on the weight of >B<MaxiPro products which is a percentage of total production and transport, it accounts for: 0,0039% at the Poznan plant, 5.25% at the Sady plant, 4.42% at the Pensnett plant and 3.45% at the Cordoba plant. Allocation to a single, representative product was made on the basis of product weight. All proceeds from raw material extraction are allocated in module A1. Production is based on alloys such as copper, brass and steel, and waste from production goes into processing (chips, pieces are sold as scrap to others). Module A2 includes the transport of raw materials,semi-finished and finished products between the production plants Poznan - Sady, Cordoba - Sady. Energy, fuel and waste deliveries for the whole production process were inventoried in module A3. A minimum of 99% of input materials and 100% of energy, water, gas and propane consumption were inventoried at the Poznan, Sady, Cordoba and Pensnett sites. All relevant parameters from the collected production data are included in the assessment, i.e. all materials used in production (including recycled raw materials), direct production waste, fuels used, electricity and gas. Substances with a percentage of less than 1% of the total mass were excluded from the calculation. It was assumed that the total sum of the omitted processes did not exceed 0.5% of the total impact categories. All packaging products were excluded from the analysis. 1 2023 2028 "2023-08-29" - "2028-08-29" 2023-08-29 >B<Press press fittings are made of copper and copper aloys. They ensure a secure and durable connection suitable for numerous applications, such as: drinking water systems, water heating systems, district heating systems, solar thermal systems, water cooling systems and rainwater systems. The >B<Press press fittings do not require soldering - they are designed with an innovative 3-point press system to ensure a leak-free, secure and permanent joint. The fittings with dimensions from 64 to 108 mm additionaly have a stainless steel clamping ring which strengthens the connection even more effectively. The >B<Press fittings (sizes 12 to 54mm) have a 'leak before press' leak indicator which indicates unpressed connections at test pressures from 0.1 to 6.0 bar. The >B<Press fittings (sizes 64 to 108mm) have a sticker indicating whether the connector is pressed - once pressed, the installer must peel the sticker off the connection. Any unpressed joints can be easily identified during a test run and pressed, saving valuable time and money. There is no need to drain the water, as the pressing operation can be carried out while water is in the system. The >B<Press fittings are assembled using a press tool with press jaws. The size of the jaws is adapted to the connector diameters. During pressing, the jaw closes to form a permanent connection. In addition, the connectors are characterized by quick and easy assembly. The >B<Press fittings consist, inter alia, of: bends, connectors, couplers, crossovers, elbows, ends and tees. They are available in many different sizes - from 12 to 108 mm. >B<Press series P4000, P5000 and P XL press fittings >B<Press series P4000, P5000 and P XL products are press fittings made of bronze (series P4000) or copper (series P5000, P XL). They are designed for making connections on copper pipes, complying with EN 1057, in water supply and water heating installations. The diameter of the press fittings varies from 12 mm to 108 mm. The >B<Press fittings are available with male and female threads according to the following standards: - connection threads in accordance with EN 10226-1 (ISO 7-1), - clamping threads in accordance to ISO 228 - cylindrical. The press fittings are sealed with a black o-ring made of EPDM material. The O-ring has a PI (Press Indicator) function to indicate "leakage before pressing". The above-mentioned O-ring has two constrictions which make it possible to detect leaks (during the pressure test) at low pressure (0.1 to 6.0 bar) in the absence of pressing. This indicator applies to fittings with diameters of 12 - 54 mm. Fittings with diameters from 64 to 108mm have a sticker indicating whether the fitting is pressed - once pressed, the installer must peel the sticker off the joint. The connection is made by press-fitting with B-profile jaws (diameter up to 54 mm) or V-profile jaws (diameter from 64 to 108 mm). The advantage of >B<Press fittings is the 3-point pressing (one on each side of the notch and one pressing on the notch with an O-ring) which ensures a permanent and secure connection. The press fittings are assembled using a press tool with press jaws. The size of the jaws is matched to the diameter of the fittings. During pressing, the jaw closes to form a permanent connection. >B<Press Gas series PG4000 and PG5000 press fittings >B<Press Gas series PG4000 and PG5000 products are press fittings made of copper (series PG5000) or bronze (series PG4000). They are designed for making connections on copper pipes, complying with EN 1057, in gas and gaseous fuel installations. The diameter of the connectors varies from 12 mm to 54 mm. The >B<Press Gas fittings are available with male and female threads according to the following standards: - connection threads in accordance to EN 10226-1 (ISO 7-1), - clamping threads in accordance to ISO 228 - cylindrical. The press fittings are sealed with a yellow O-ring made of HNBR material. The O-ring has a PI (Press Indicator) function to indicate "leakage before pressing". The above-mentioned O-ring has two constrictions which, if not pressed, allow the detection of leaks. The connection is made by pressing with B-profile jaws. The advantage of >B<Press fittings is the 3-point pressing (one on each side of the notch and one pressing on the notch with an O-ring) which ensures a permanent and secure connection. The press fittings are assembled using a press tool with press jaws. The size of the jaws is matched to the diameter of the fittings. During pressing, the jaw closes to form a permanent connection. >B<Press Solar series PH4000 and PH5000 press fittings >B<Press Solar series PH4000 and PH5000 products are press fittings made of copper (series PH5000) or bronze (series PH4000). They are designed for making connections on copper pipes, complying with EN 1057, in water supply systems, water heating systems and solar thermal systems.
