The copper press slip coupling has no internal tube stop, so it can slide fully along the pipe. That makes it the fitting for repairs on existing copper: cut out the damaged or leaking section, slide the coupling back over one tube, line it up across the gap and press both ends.
It is also the way to close in between two fixed points where there is no movement in the pipework to push a standard coupling on. Mark the insertion depth on both tubes before pressing so the coupling sits centred over the joint.
