Thome radial press connection - one system for all applications
With Thome radial press connection technology, you can create permanent, secure connections between Thome Alu-Laserplus® pipes and Thome fittings in a matter of seconds. To attach the Thome fittings, you merely swap the press jaws or loops on the electrical press tool to accommodate the different Thome Alu-Laserplus® pipe diameters.
The Thome connection system is based on uniform circumferential radial pressing, ensuring a secure force fit between the supporting sleeve and Thome system pipes. This technology is designed for Thome pipe installation systems and Thome radiant heating systems.
Shaped to ensure a secure connection
The shape of the press sleeve and the plastic ring on the Thome fitting help guide the tool when it is placed onto the fitting to ensure that the jaws are securely positioned in exactly the right place (and cannot slip off). The installer simply positions the jaws of the press tool between the plastic ring and the sleeve lip, presses the handles and the connection is finished.
