Press Fittings
About Copper Press Fittings
- Copper press fittings, also known as press-fit or press-connect fittings, are a type of plumbing fitting used for joining copper pipes without the need for soldering or brazing. These fittings provide a quick and reliable method of connecting copper pipes together.
- Copper press fittings utilize a mechanical press connection system, where a specialized pressing tool is used to compress the fitting onto the copper pipe. The pressing tool exerts force on the fitting, creating a secure and leak-resistant connection by deforming the fitting and compressing it onto the pipe.
- The benefits of copper press fittings include:
- Time-saving installation: Press fittings offer faster installation compared to traditional soldering or brazing methods. The pressing process is typically quicker and more efficient, saving time and labor costs.
- No flame or heat required: Press fittings eliminate the need for open flames or heat sources, making them a safer option for installation in certain environments, such as confined spaces or areas with fire hazards
- Versatility: Copper press fittings are available in various configurations, including couplings, elbows, tees, reducers, and more. This allows for versatile applications and easy integration into plumbing systems.
- Reliability: The mechanical press connection system provides a secure and durable joint, ensuring long-term reliability and leak-free performance.
