ANPRO Installation Guide

ANPRO Stainless Installation 15 - 168 mm

This installation page is rebuilt for ANPRO using the structure and technical rhythm of a press-fit install guide, while keeping the presentation in ANPRO's own red, black, and white brand language.

Installation steps, ring seal checks, press tool guidance, and fitting clearance references are organized here as a practical front-end guide instead of a flat PDF upload. Legacy ANPRO tooling images from the old technical page are used throughout as supporting visuals.

Installation Workflow

This sequence follows the same practical order as a stainless press-fit install sheet: select the correct press tool, prepare the tube properly, confirm ring seal suitability, mark insertion depth, complete the press, and finish with a visual check.

PDF installation step screenshot 1
Tool selection

Select The Press Tool

Use a press tool, jaw, or collar to suit the fitting, dimension, and application pressure. Keep stainless tooling separate and ensure the press zone is properly lubricated at recommended intervals.

Tube preparation

Cut To Length

Cut the tube square using an inox-suitable cutter or blade. For larger sizes, use a stainless rotary cutter or thin grinder disc that is reserved for stainless work.

PDF installation step screenshot 3
Tube finish

Deburr The Tube

Deburr both the inside and outside edges of the tube end so the ring seal is not cut during insertion. For larger sizes, use a smooth half-round file reserved for stainless.

PDF installation step screenshot 4
Seal check

Inspect Fitting & Ring Seals

Confirm the rubber ring seal is undamaged, the correct type and colour for the application, and free of debris before the joint is assembled.

PDF installation step screenshot 5
Depth control

Mark Insertion Depth

Measure and permanently mark the insertion depth from the end of the tube using the socket depth "i" so the final pressed joint can be checked visually.

Joint assembly

Join Tube & Fitting

Insert the tube into the press socket, turning slightly until the previously marked insertion depth reaches the end of the fitting socket.

Press operation

Press The Joint

Complete the press with the correct jaw, ring, or collar combination for the selected dimension. Read and follow the tool manual before operation.

Final inspection

Check The Press

Visually inspect the pressed fitting and confirm the insertion mark is aligned with the end of the socket. For threaded ends, support the fitting and do not tighten against the pressed joint alone.

Water or water-based lubricant only. Do not use oil or grease on the ring seal. Check both the grade 316 stainless material and ring seal type for service suitability before installation.

Ring Seal Selection

The installation guide should make seal suitability visible before the contractor starts work. Different ring seals are intended for different service conditions and should never be mixed without checking the application first.

Potable water

EPDM Ring Seal

For potable water applications and temperature range -20 to +100°C.

Gas

hNBR Ring Seal

For gas applications including natural gas and LPG where the correct gas-rated seal is required.

High temperature / chemical

FKM Ring Seal

For high-temperature duties plus certain oils and chemicals, subject to suitability confirmation before installation.

Not suitable for medical gases, refrigeration, air conditioning, acetylene, fuels, or diesel without separate confirmation. Contact ANPRO before installing into chemical or special-media environments.

Press Tool Options & Pressure Direction

The install guide should state clearly that tool choice depends on dimension, fitting, and application pressure. The pressure notes below follow the same grouped logic used in a stainless install sheet.

Selected size group

15 mm to 22 mm

The small-size path stays on the most direct jaw workflow, so the layout can be kept clean and easy to scan for installers on site.

Size band15 mm to 22 mmCompact stainless branch with the simplest tooling path.
+

Primary setupDirect jaw pressing

Use the matched jaw size for daily installation work on compact dimensions.

Good forFast field preparation

Minimal setup changes when the installer stays inside the direct jaw range.

Check firstProfile and approval

Confirm tool family, jaw condition, and approved pressure before starting.

Pressure direction

Smaller size standard press route

This group remains in the easiest 32 kN installation band, so the interface focuses on quick confirmation instead of dense manual text.

Use a direct jaw setup sized to the fitting and approved for the system.

Pressure routeStandard install path

Typical site work stays in the approved 32 kN range for smaller stainless sizes.

Typical sizes15 mm to 22 mm

Best suited to the compact end of the range where jaw access is straightforward.

Site noteCheck jaw condition first

Inspect wear, profile fit, and media approval before the first press.

Selected size group

28 mm to 35 mm

This band begins to split between direct jaws and matched ring support, so the panel now expands into a clearer two-path summary.

Alternate pathMatched ring support

Check firstJaw and ring pairing

Do not mix unsupported rings, adaptors, or pressure classes across tool brands.

Pressure capability remains within the standard installation band, but tooling approval becomes more important as size increases.

Typical sizes28 mm to 35 mm

This size band often sits between direct jaw work and assisted ring support.

Site noteDo not mix brands loosely

Keep ring, jaw, and approval path matched before pressing begins.

Selected size group

42 mm to 54 mm

This is where adaptor logic becomes normal, so the interface gives the installer a more explicit workflow instead of a long paragraph.

AlternativeApproved ring solution

Use only where the installation sheet and tool family both support the ring arrangement.

Check firstAdaptor compatibility

Review pressure path, jaw seat, and ring/adaptor match before every press cycle.

Pressure direction

Adaptor-led route with tighter approval control

At this range, the jobsite must confirm the exact adaptor route early, because pressure approval depends on the full tooling combination.

Tool familyJaw + adaptor path

Adaptor-supported jaw work becomes more common in this mid-size stainless range.

Pressure routeControlled approval path

Pressure suitability depends on the exact adaptor and jaw pairing.

Typical sizes42 mm to 54 mm

Use the listed combination that matches the selected press family and fitting approval.

Site noteReview adaptor seating

Confirm the adaptor locks cleanly before each press cycle starts.

Selected size group

66.7 mm to 108 mm

Large stainless sizes move into ring and adaptor territory, so this expanded state emphasizes the sequence of tooling decisions and pressure direction.

This size group should be treated as a larger-system branch, where every press cycle depends on the correct ring, collar, and adaptor path.

The final pressure direction depends on ring, collar, and clearance planning.

Typical sizes66.7 mm to 108 mm

This branch is used where large stainless lines need assisted tooling support.

Site notePlan access and swing room

Jobsite clearance can decide whether the ring or collar path is practical.

Measurements are dependent on actual fitting dimensions and the press tool used to join. Confirm clearance with the particular installation. This section is presented as a field guide and should be checked against ANPRO's final technical documentation.

Project References

Installation guidance stays focused on workflow, tooling, and clearances. The full ANPRESS 316L project references now live on a dedicated page so the case material can expand without interrupting the install sequence.

Dedicated page

Open the full References page

The separate References page now carries the complete project case write-ups for Yishun, Jurong, Tuas, and Punggol. It is the right place to show public-sector housing, infrastructure, and industrial-use positioning for ANPRESS stainless 316L.

Use it when a consultant, contractor, or distributor wants project-facing proof points instead of installation instructions.
