Press Fit Pipes

Press Fit Pipes are high-quality pipes designed for use with press-fit fittings, offering a fast, secure, and flame-free solution for plumbing, heating, and industrial pipework systems.

About Press Fit Pipes

Press fit pipes are engineered to work seamlessly with press-fit fittings, providing a mechanical joint without the need for soldering, adhesives, or heat. These pipes ensure consistent, leak-free connections and are suitable for potable water, heating, and gas systems (where approved).

Available in materials such as copper, stainless steel, carbon steel, and multilayer PEX, press fit pipes are ideal for both new installations and refurbishments, particularly in environments where fire safety, speed, and reliability are priorities.

Installation & Technical Info

Cut the pipe to the required length and remove burrs. Mark insertion depth to ensure proper joint engagement. Use calibrated press tools and suitable jaws for the pipe material. Once pressed, joints are permanent and must be pressure-tested to verify integrity.

Ensure pipes are stored away from direct sunlight and protected from mechanical damage prior to installation. Follow manufacturer guidelines for temperature, pressure, and compatibility.
