Using mapress tool on xpress pipe?

[Jimbob]

Anybody had any issues with doing this? Completed an install to find a loads of problems with only 67mm fittings. Never had any issues with Mapress previously and this is our first time using xpress fittings. We're very careful reeming pipe etc but the tool doesn't seem to be crushing the fittings down in this size like it does the 50mm and 42mm. Anybody had any experience with this? Will be getting onto xpress on Monday.

Yes mapress is definitely better. Not happy with the xpress at all. They look like they haven't correctly crimped in that particular size - you can see gaps on the fitting where you can see the oring.

We carefully deburred the pipe and lubricated all the o rings. Pretty annoying

Turns out the mapress jaws are incorrect. There are specific jaws. Uh oh. Hopefully a simple recrimp will do.
