REMS – high compression pressing tongs in forged and specially hardened steel

The appropriate selection of the material, the exact manufacturing and the special tempering process are essential for long and safe functioning of REMS pressing tongs. During the crimping operation pressing forces of up to 100 kN (10 t) may apply at the pressing jaws which have to be safely absorbed. Therefore REMS pressing tongs are made in forged and specially hardened, high-strength steel. The specific pressing contour is precisely machined and shaped together with the required outer machining of the pressing jaws and the denomination of the pressing contour and pipe size - in one operation on CNC production centres. Thanks to the specific tempering of the pressing tongs by in-house hardening an ideal combination between hardness and toughness is being reached. This manufacturing process guarantees that the machined pressing contour will be transfered correctly to the pressing joint with a long service life. Because of this high quality standard millions of perfect, system-conformity, secure pressing joints are produced with REMS pressing tongs.

Complete assortment of REMS pressing tongs with system-specific pressing contour according to the respective pressfitting system.

The suitability of press tools is determined basically by the manufacturer of press tools. Moreover the suitability of REMS press tools has been confirmed by the system manufacturer/supplier himself or approved through independent testing institutes.

Confirmation of suitability through the system manufacturer/supplier
More than 90 % of the manufacturers/suppliers of the pressfitting systems listed herein have tested REMS pressing tongs and confirmed the suitability for their pressfitting system.

Confirmation of suitability through independent testing institutes
The suitability of REMS pressing tongs for additional pressfitting systems have been confirmed through independent technical institutes:

TÜV-Certificates
Available for biroduct P, Geberit Mepla, mapress C-STAHL, mapress EDELSTAHL, mapress Kupfer, Nussbaum Cupress, Nussbaum Optipress, Unicor Unipipe, Velta Fußbodenheizung, Velta rapex P, Viega-'profipress', Viega-'profipress G', Viega-'sanfix P', Viega-'sanpress', Viega-'Viegatherm P', Wavin Tigris. The TÜV-certificates confirm that REMS crimping tools are suitable for producing perfect and system-conformity pressing joints corresponding to these systems, both in conjunction with REMS pressing tongs and the pressing tongs of system manufacturers/suppliers.

Suitability test according to DVGW W 534 (potable water)
Pressing joints produced with REMS press tools have been tested by the state-operated material testing institute (MPA) in Darmstadt/Germany according to DVGW work sheet W 534. The institute is certified to perform these tests by the DVGW. A representative selection of pressing joints of pressfitting systems biroduct P (Velta), mapress EDELSTAHL, Unicor Unipipe and Viega-'profipress' were tested. All tests passed.

Suitability test according to DVGW VP 614 (gas)
Pressing joints produced with REMS press tools have been tested by the TÜV according to DVGW VP 614. A representative selection of press joints of pressfitting systems mapress EDELSTAHL GAS, mapress KUPFER GAS, IBP >B<press Gas, Viega-'profipress G', Viega-'sanpress INOX G' and WOESTE 'Yorkshire' RYW Gas PRESS FITTINGS were tested. The tests lead to the result that all REMS press tools are suitable for producing perfect and system-conformity pressing joints in accordance with these systems.

This makes REMS the first system-independent machine- and tool manufacturer to have concluded a hold-harmless and indemnification agreement for pressing tools. The conclusion of the agreement was effected on the basis of a successful cooperation established on partnership between REMS, the crafts, trades and industry and their organizations.

Eligible for services and performances from this agreement are all independent professional craftsmen, and companies of such, who are enrolled in the register of artisans and craftsmen (referred to in the following as „SHK-Establishments"), in as far as they have been members of the crafts guild of the sanitary- heating- and climatization enterprises competent for their business location at the time the damage event has arisen, and this crafts guild is associated with a regional guild association, which is a member of the ZVSHK.

Eligible for services and performances from this agreement are all building systems companies (following TGA companies) who, at the time the damaged is caused, are members of the responsible industrial association for heating, air-conditioning and sanitary systems, thus making them either a direct or indirect member of the BHKS.

Eligible for services and performances from this agreement are all building systems companies (following TGA companies) who, at the time the damaged is caused, are members of suissetec.

In as far as the radial pressing tools mentioned show a defect with regard to construction, manufacture or material, or if the operator's manuals are faulty, or if REMS does not sufficiently comply with its product monitoring obligation, thereby causing damage for the customer of the SHK-Establishment or the TGA company, for which the SHK-Establishment or the TGA company is liable, then REMS shall be additionally liable – aside of the statutory prescriptions – for the consequences resulting from leakage, in accordance with the stipulations and provisions of this hold-harmless and indemnification agreement.

The hold-harmless and indemnification agreement shall be independently valid, regardless of which pressfitting system is pressed with the REMS pressing tools. The suitability of the REMS pressing tools for the press-fitting systems shall be gathered from the respective current sales documentation.
