Gas Press Mufa IBP 28 x 1 (press fitting) by IBP

IBP Gas Press Mufa 28 x 1 is a metal press fitting designed for creating reliable connections in gas distribution systems. Intended for use with compatible press tools, this 28 x 1 mm coupling provides a durable, leak-resistant joint between metal pipes in residential and commercial gas installations. The fitting is manufactured by IBP and is suitable for professional plumbing and HVAC technicians performing installation, maintenance or repair of gas lines.

Advantages

The press design enables rapid and repeatable joints without the need for flame or solder, reducing installation time and on-site safety risks. Constructed from corrosion-resistant metal, the coupling delivers long-term mechanical strength and maintains gas tightness under normal operating conditions. Compatibility with standard press tools and jaws for the specified diameter ensures consistent compression and a secure seal.

Suitable for

• Joining metal gas pipes in residential gas supply systems
• Commercial gas installation and service work
• Replacement or repair of existing press-connected gas lines
• HVAC and plumbing projects requiring certified gas fittings

Key specifications

• Nominal size: 28 x 1 mm
• Type: Press coupling (mufa) for gas installations
• Material: metal, corrosion-resistant construction suitable for gas service
• Connection method: mechanical press connection using compatible press jaws
• Application: designed for natural gas and related fuel gas systems in buildings

How to use

Select an appropriate press tool and jaw set rated for the 28 x 1 mm diameter and for gas fittings. Prepare pipe ends by cutting square and deburring internal and external edges. Insert the pipes fully into the coupling until the correct insertion depth is reached. Position the press jaws over the fitting’s press zone and activate the press tool according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions to achieve a complete cold-formed joint. Verify the compression visually and test the joint for gas tightness in line with applicable regulations.

Usage recommendations

Ensure installation is performed by qualified personnel and follow local codes and standards for gas installations. Use only press tools and jaw profiles approved for gas fittings and the specified diameter. After pressing, perform a pressure or leak test as required by regulations before putting the system into service. Do not use the fitting on non-approved media or in conditions outside the manufacturer’s specified limits.
