Press Fittings

Q: What are press fittings?

Press fittings are a type of fitting that can be used to join two pipes together without the need for soldering or compression. While both these traditional installation methods still have their place, press fittings offer you several benefits that make them a useful addition to your plumbing arsenal.

Q: How do press fittings work?

Press fit plumbing fittings are easy to use, and once installed, create an effective watertight join in your pipework. Unlike soldering, there’s no heat or solder needed to form the joint. Instead, a specially designed power tool is clamped around the press fitting, and once the pipework is inserted in place, this tool can be used to press the fitting around the pipe, creating a secure and durable assembly.

Q: What are the benefits of plumbing press fittings?

Plumbing press fittings are easy and simple to use. They require less time to install than traditional joining methods, making them a fast and effective alternative; however, the result is an equally robust, leak-proof joint and a high-quality finish to your pipework. Because they can be used without the need for soldering equipment, plumbing press fittings are the perfect solution for tight installs in hard-to-reach places where the application of heat is impractical or potentially hazardous. They are also ideal for use in installation where soldering isn’t permitted for health and safety reasons, such as schools and hospitals. Because press fit plumbing fittings don’t use any form of heat, they are also suitable for use in live systems where it is not possible to disconnect the water; this makes them especially useful for repairing leaks in damaged or modified plumbing systems.
