XPress Carbon press-fit fittings available for 67mm fittings

(27/12/2007)

The XPress Carbon range of press-fit fittings from Pegler Yorkshire has recently been extended with the launch of 67mm fittings. This makes XPress Carbon the only UK carbon steel press-fit System available in this size.

The addition of the 67mm size has resulted in the expansion of the range by 19 items, including couplings, elbows and reduced tees. XPress Carbon Systems comprise carbon steel press-fit fittings and galvanised and plastic coated galvanised carbon steel System tubes in sizes up to 108mm, with the range now totalling some 212 items.

For use in heating and chilled water applications, XPress Carbon fittings are simply compressed onto the tube using a press-fit tool. The simplicity of this technique means that press-fit joints can be prepared, assembled and completed in around half the time it would take to make a capillary or screwed steel joint, resulting in significant installed cost savings.

As well as being quick and cost-effective to install, XPress Carbon Systems offer other benefits. There is no need for threading machinery or heavy gauge steel tube to be moved around; and no additional purchases of consumables such as jointing compounds and hemp are required to complete the jointing procedure. Being a heat-free jointing method, no Hot Works Permits are required, reducing costly insurance premiums and avoiding the storage of flammable gases. The clean jointing technique - which uses no solders or additional jointing materials - results in an absence of flux residue, making the flushing process quicker and simpler. XPress Carbon Systems are offered with guarantees of 10 years.
