SAFE AND HEALTHY
As health and safety at work is paramount and there is no waiting time on site after the pipes are fitted an added benefit is that
no hot works permits are needed. When soldering, there is also a real risk that carbon deposits or flux may be left as a
by-product of the installation as well as possibly marking or scorching walls and surfaces. Press fittings offer peace of mind
with some crimp guns offering a print out to testify the joints are sound. With traditional methods, there is also a risk that the
fitting could be left incomplete if the installer cannot get the solder to flow correctly around the joint, resulting in leaks.

ECONOMICAL
We encourage you to use Stainless Steel/Carbon Steel over Copper Fittings as it is particularly well suited to plant rooms, risers and anywhere where large sized Copper fittings may traditionally be used. The obvious advantages of replacing Copper with Stainless/Carbon lie in the relatively low scrap value for Stainless/Carbon compared to that of Copper (Copper is highly prized and as such is prone to site theft).
