Why Are Press Fittings Becoming Popular in Modern Plumbing?

In today’s advanced plumbing, Stub pipes are half the cost and still efficient without needing pipes soldered, glued, or threaded. With a simple press tool, the pipe fittings compress down. For plumbing professionals, press fittings will take 30 mins, while soldered fittings could take 3 hours or more. Having the ability to optimally maximize press fittings could be a crucial professional plumbing tool for a commercial building or a new residential building. Furthermore, the ease of pipe fittings means less skilled mits on the job for soldered fittings. Jufang pipes are also easy to install with their align press and finish feature, enabling press fitting pipes to be seamless no matter the project.

Pipe fittings are also a key reason for the ease of plumbing today. The press pipe fittings are super easy, leak proof and reliable. This decreases the stress from maintaining plumbing leaks, and potential excess water damage.

As Jufang Pipes notes, the metal ring, which is typically copper or stainless steel, is compressed with the fitting and the press pipe, hence the seal is permanent and very tight. This also prevents the escape of water. Unlike threaded fittings, which can loosen around the joints over time, or soldered fittings, which can mis-heat the joints, press fittings hold their seal with an astounding amount of water pressure (up to 16 bar) and extreme temperature (between -20-95 degrees) changes. An example of this is the plumbing of press within high rise buildings, press fittings used on the Water supply lines have been shown to hold without leaking for 10+ years. Each press fitting shipped from Jufang Pipes factory is individually pressure tested to supply the industry’s seal-proof standard. This has become an advantage for plumbers and property owners alike, ensuring the fittings can be used for any modern plumbing system efficiently. 

The press fittings can be used for multiple different modern plumbing materials for easy and efficient use.

According to Jufang Pipes, like most any other press fittings, Jufang press fittings work with copper, PEX and, stainless steel pipes. This universal compatibility works for any type of pipe, eliminating the need to come up with different connections for different pipe types. In a home plumbing scenario where copper pipes are the main lines and PEX pipes are the branch lines of a plumbing system, with press fittings, only one type of press fitting is needed, making selection and inventory far simpler. Older methods of plumbing would involve soldering the copper and crimping the PEX, making the plumbing effort much more involved. Jufang Pipes has a comprehensive line of press fittings varying from 15mm to 108mm with various material combinations to suit the major plumbing pipes of the era. This compatibility enables plumbers to work with different project requirements. In turn, this makes press fittings a beneficial addition to plumbing systems of today.

Modern plumbing systems are designed to enhance the user experience and press fittings do just that. This is further demonstrated with the ability to install press fittings in confinement like wall spaces and beneath sink plumbing or surgical settings without concern. Jufang Pipes is adamant that with press fittings, just like soldering that uses flames and emits very toxic fumes, there are no fittings that will require any noxious gas press fitting ‘flame free’ installation.

For instance, in a hospital's plumbing system (where there are critical concerns with fire risks and the need for sanitized air), the use of press fittings can be installed in narrow walls without the concerns of igniting fire or giving off dangerous gases. In a home’s kitchen, press fittings eliminate the danger of damaging the cabinets or countertops due to the soldering torch. Jufang Pipes’ press tools are also compact and lightweight, which means they can be positioned easily in confined locations. This advantage and safety makes press fittings applicable to plumbing work with the most restrictions for safety and the least interference to the surroundings.  

Press fittings are durable and require little to no maintenance  

In plumbing, maintaining low overall costs for the system and components is crucial. The low maintenance and durable characteristics of press fittings perfectly align to the requirements of modern plumbing, thus increasing their demand. Jufang Pipes mentions that the materials used to manufacture press fittings, resist corrosion. fittings made of brass, stainless steel or nickel plated copper withstanding water, and various chemicals like rust and corrosive elements. This allows press fittings to last for 50 years in residential plumbing, versus the older fittings that need to be replaced every 10-15 years.

Further, press fittings require no internal maintenance (such as retightening, repairing soldered leaks or repairing threaded joints), which also significantly cuts ongoing maintenance costs for owners of the property. For instance, a commercial property that employs press fittings within its plumbing system would save thousands of dollars spent on maintenance over a ten year period. The press fittings, manufactured by Jufang Pipes, also have an inner cavity that Rep Something Smooth Surpassing Rudimentary which plainly enhanced Scale Prevention allowing for consistent water flow, less maintenance, and greater flow. The unparalleled combination of mechanical practicality, thorough durability, and consistent performance ensures the fittings, along with Jufang Pipes press fittings, serves as a valued addition to modern plumbing.
