Stainless 304 Tube & Fittings

Q: What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel?

Both grades offer excellent strength, durability and corrosion resistance. 304 stainless steel is ideal for general commercial, residential and building services applications, while 316 stainless steel contains added molybdenum, providing enhanced resistance to chlorides and aggressive environments. This makes 316 the preferred choice for coastal, industrial and hygienic applications.

Q: What are the benefits of a press-fit system?

Press-fit technology allows pipework to be installed quickly and efficiently without welding, soldering or threading. This reduces installation time, eliminates hot works, improves site safety and provides secure, consistent, leak-resistant connections.

Q: Can the same press tool be used for both water and gas systems?

Yes, provided the correct press jaws and approved fittings are used in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation guidelines. Always follow the relevant installation instructions for water and gas applications.

Q: What warranty is available?

The complete Lawton Tubes stainless steel press system is backed by a 50-year warranty, giving confidence in its quality, durability and long-term performance when installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Q: Does stainless steel require protective coatings?

No. Stainless steel naturally forms a protective chromium oxide layer that provides corrosion resistance, meaning additional coatings are not normally required.
