A FITTING ALTERNATIVE

Pulsar direct has launched a press fitting system to offer plumbers a quick and easy jointing method. Press fittings are becoming increasingly popular as the simple process reduces installation time.

Press fittings allow fast, safe and efficient joints to be made, relying on pressure from a press tool to achieve a sound joint, without the need for solder, flux or any other jointing materials.

The process is simple, first cut the pipe to size and clean inside and out with a reaming tool. Joints are then made by inserting the pipe and fitting together and pressing using either a hand operated or battery operated press fitting tool.

A press fitting joint relies on the use of a press-tool together with the appropriate size and profile of clamping jaws. Press fitting tools can complete a joint in as little as 6 seconds.

Another advantage of using press fittings is that installation can be carried out on dry joints, this is particularly useful where work is required at height or for tricky positioning. In addition to this, the components can be pre-fabricated both on and off site prior to installation, another handy time saver.

As with all of Pulsar directs products, press fittings can be delivered directly to the desired location within 24 hours and all at trade prices. For more information call today on 0800 2988 701.
