Press connections can be made in the fraction of the time required by other joining methods, and no open flame or flame permit is required. Faster installations translate into significant labor savings. Connections made by pressings are sound, simple, clean, and provide an economical alternative to other means of joining tube.
Anywhere traditional copper fittings are used - plumbing and heating, hot, chilled, and process water systems, and commercial or industrial applications where gas, low pressure steam, or liquids are conveyed.
A press connection can be made in less than a minute within preparing the tube taking 30 seconds or less (deburring and marking insertion depth) and the actual pressing only a few seconds - literally the time it takes to insert the tube and cycle the tool. Unlike other methods, full structural integrity and sealing capability is realized immediately.
