Copper press fittings include a wide range of categories such as straight couplings, reducing couplings, elbows, tees and caps. Black EPDM or yellow HNBR O rings are featured depending on the water or gas applications.
Common press fitting sizes are DN15 and DN20 for residential plumbing connections. Large sizes ranging from DN25 to DN100 are required in civil and commercial environments where large pipe diameters are specified.
The press fitting system is widely regarded as the most reliable plumbing connections available when used with the compatible press tools and feature 25 years warranty across all major brands in Australia. Due to their reputation for reliabilities, the press fittings are often used in hotels, airports and commercial office buildings, where the plumbing connections may be between floors or behind expensive wall tiles.
Most press fitting tools are compact and electric hand held. This makes the copper pipe connection extremely time efficient compared to brazing or compression fitting methods.
