Press Fitting Uses and Applications


There is a press fitting solution for every application in the world. A number of industrial organizations that outline building codes and safety measures for workplace, including the Plumbing, Heating and Cooling Contractors Association (PHCC), approve press fittings for use in various applications.


1. Chemical lines
Stainless steel press fittings offer chemical resistance which can benefit the industrial facilities. Some pipe systems that carry highly corrosive chemicals and solutions like nitric and phosphoric acids use stainless press fitting pipes depending on the brand, and gauge of the material. Press fitting does not require a flame to create secure connection, the potential risk of industrial chemicals coming in contact with heat is discarded.

2. Gas lines
In gas lines and compressed air systems, press fittings have found a great use. The type of gas matters in this scenario, you can install gas lines with ease by using carbon steel, stainless steel and copper press fittings. This also includes natural gas lines for some of the reactive gases. When connected properly with sealing equipment, press fittings form an airtight pipe connection. This not only takes lesser time and labor as compared to welding and solder, but also provides the most accurate leak-free gas lines.

3. Hydronic heating and cooling systems
Press fitting systems pay off when it comes to hydronics. Because of their resistance to propylene glycol and ethylene glycol, press fitting pipes can be used in perfect alignment with chilled waters and hydronic heat applications likewise. To be used in hydronic heating and cooling applications, various manufacturers produce press fittings in copper, stainless steel and carbon steel. This enables you to design a time effective, less labor consuming and cost friendly climate control solution for your clients specific requirements.

4. Greywater lines
For constructing a secure drainage system, Copper and press fittings stainless steel, are approved for use in greywater lines applications as a timely and effective solution. It not only saves time during installation but it is also beneficial for completing repairs in due time without halting the operations. It allows you to repair in wet conditions which lets us perform repairs faster and to lessen the damage from leaked greywater.

 5. Fuels, oil and lubricant lines
By using press fitting pipes, you can keep industrial and mechanical operations running like well-oiled machine systems. A wide range of press fittings are safe for use with combustible substances like diesel, butane, kerosene and propane to petroleum-based lubricants and heating oils. Check with the manufacturer provided specifications to find the best copper or carbon steel, stainless steel, press fitting for the specific type of fuel or oil line.

6. Potable water systems
Copper and stainless steel press fittings that are announced to be lead free by NSF are perfect to be used in potable water systems. Press fittings make it easier for workers to install hot and cold potable water lines, in residential new construction building projects or in large scale commercial applications. Stainless steel press fittings can also be used in reverse osmosis drinking water systems which enables the on demand filtered drinking water for your customers.
