Typical industry applications for the Press-Fit system include heating & cooling systems, water systems, compressed air & inert gas systems, closed circuit sprinkler systems and oil & diesel lines. Press-Fit can benefit installers through reliability, efficiency, quality, safety, labour saving and consistent workmanship.
RELIABILITY
The Press-Fit system is designed for use with M profile press jaws. Pressing tools have inbuilt safety features to ensure each press is the same every time, no uncertainty of weld integrity.
EFFICIENCY
The speed of the Press-Fit system will amaze you. A competent tradesman can install a Press Fit tube and fittings without the need of qualified welders.
QUALITY
The Press-Fit system uses metric size fittings and tube which is made to standard EN10217-7 and EN10312. The stainless steel grade 316L (low carbon) is used for Press-Fit products, which means it is highly corrosion resistant and suitable for nearly all environments.
The Press-Fit system can be used for potable water when using grade 316L stainless steel. This certifies the product complies with the plumbing code and the relevant standards.
The standard O-rings seals, made of black EPDM, are resistant to ageing, heat and chemicals.
