blog

In the fast-paced world of plumbing, heating, and mechanical installation, professionals are always looking for smarter, safer, and more efficient ways to get the job done. That’s why more installers are turning to Z-Press press tools paired with Press-Tite fittings — the perfect match for a quicker, cleaner, and more reliable installation process.

Faster Installations, Every Time

With Z-Press battery-powered press tools and Press-Tite’s precision-engineered M-profile fittings, installations can be completed in a fraction of the time compared to traditional jointing methods. There’s no need for hot works permits, drying time, or complicated preparation — just press and go.

This makes it ideal for:

  • Commercial sites with tight deadlines
  • Residential upgrades or refits
  • Confined spaces where flame-based systems aren’t viable
  • Emergency repairs where speed matters

Flame-Free, Fume-Free, Stress-Free

Press-Tite fittings create a permanent, secure connection without the use of a flame — meaning:

  • No fire risk
  • No toxic fumes or gas
  • No need for fire marshals or risk assessments related to soldering

This clean and cold-press method also supports safer working conditions, especially in sensitive environments like hospitals, schools, or heritage buildings.

Cost-Effective & Reliable

Time is money — and Press-Tite saves both. Installers reduce labour time, avoid costly rework, and benefit from a high-quality fitting system backed by WRAS and Gas approvals. With a full range available for water and gas installations, Press-Tite is designed for professional reliability at a competitive price point.

Introducing the PIR – Press Indicator Ring

We’re proud to announce that all Press-Tite fittings now come with a PIR (Press Indicator Ring) — an innovative feature that shows clearly whether the fitting has been pressed.

Unpressed fitting? The ring stays in place.
Pressed correctly? The ring detaches, giving a clear visual cue.

This extra layer of confidence helps installers quickly verify every connection, reducing the risk of missed joints and costly call-backs.
