Stainless steel press fitting option Plumbing fittings manufacturer Conex Bänninger has launched the new >B< Press Inox range.

The addition of a stainless steel press fitting complements the range, and gives contractors and specifiers a comprehensive choice for applications in copper, carbon, red brass and now stainless steel. >B< Press Inox is manufactured using hygienic materials, making it suitable for potable water, and with its >B< profile can be used in almost all new and existing domestic supply systems. The flame-free press fitting can also be used for hot and cold drinking water applications, cooling water, heating systems, compressed air (oil free), oil/fuel, rainwater and waste, offering contractors and installers more application options. >B< Press fittings are quick and simple to install, and are compatible with a variety of tools and jaws. Conex Bänninger >B< Press offers installers a fail-safe function to check the systems for leak using the unique pressing indicator, ensuring there is no need to go to full test pressure. The fittings are specifically designed with a high-quality EPDM seal with a reduced section on two positions causing leaks when not pressed (from 0.1 bar).
