Gas coupling IBP PRESS GAS MUFA GW 18x3/4 for gas installations

IBP PRESS GAS MUFA GW 18x3/4 is a press-fit gas coupling manufactured by IBP for connecting 18 mm gas pipes to 3/4" threaded fittings. Designed specifically for gas installations, this coupling creates a mechanical press joint compatible with standard press tools and fittings. It is intended for use in residential and commercial gas systems where a durable, sealed transition between copper or steel gas pipe and threaded gas components is required.

Advantages

The coupling provides a reliable pressed connection that reduces installation time compared with soldering or welding and eliminates the need for flame-based joining methods. Its design ensures a gas-tight seal when installed with the correct press tool and jaws, and compatibility with common gas piping materials simplifies inventory and selection for installations and repairs. The component is produced by a manufacturer experienced in gas components and follows the functional expectations for press gas fittings.

Suitable for

• Connecting 18 mm gas pipes to 3/4" threaded valves, regulators or appliances
• Repairs and replacement of sections in residential gas installations
• New gas piping runs in domestic and light commercial applications
• Transitions between press-fit piping systems and threaded gas fittings

Key specifications

• Application: gas installations (residential and commercial)
• Pipe connection size: 18 mm press connection
• Threaded connection: 3/4" female threaded port
• Connection method: mechanical press-fit
• Material compatibility: suitable for common gas piping materials such as copper and certain steel pipes when used with appropriate press tools

How to use

Prepare the pipe ends by cutting squarely and removing burrs or debris. Slide the coupling onto the pipe and align the 3/4" threaded fitting with the female port; ensure threads are clean and use appropriate thread sealant or tape only if required by local gas codes. Use the correct manufacturer-recommended press tool and jaw size for an 18 mm connection, and perform the press operation according to the tool and fitting instructions. After pressing, verify the mechanical seat visually and test the joint for gas tightness with an approved leak detection method per local regulations.

Usage recommendations

Only trained personnel should install gas fittings. Always follow applicable national and local gas installation codes, use certified press tools and jaws, and perform pressure/leak tests after installation. Do not modify the coupling and do not use it for liquids or non-gas applications unless explicitly specified by the manufacturer.
