Press Fitting  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

DefinitionAccessories, accessories or adapters that are pressed against the connector. They are standardized parts, which represent an effective and fast connection possibility. Press fittings are usually used in installation technology. The fitting piece is pressed against a pipe with a tool. Then it is sealed with a sealing ring. The advantages are quick processing and thus cost savings. The use is safer than welding. The disadvantage is the cost of the fittings and the problems that arise at bottlenecks because the tools cannot be used.The function of the press fittingThey are used in a pipeline. The press fittings facilitate working with pipes. There is no need to expand or bend pipes. They connect the pipe sections or make it possible to change the running direction by means of pipe bends. Branches in the pipe system, which are installed, are realized via press fittings. The press fittings can be used to reduce the number of insert tubes. A connection of pipes of different materials is also possible.Applications for press fittingThe field of application of press fittings can be found in installation and heating technology. Copper press fittings are used in heating technology, as the pipes are usually made of copper. Other areas of application are the chemical industry, where they facilitate production in chemical plants. This is due to the easy installation and the variety of shapes.An exampleIn a hot water heating system a pipe branch is to be set. Press fittings such as three-armed T-pieces or four-armed crossings can be used for this purpose. The fittings are pressed against the pipe using a pressing tool and sealed. Now another pipe part can be attached to the branch.
