A few months ago we expanded our product range with new high quality press fittings. We offer stainless steel (SS AISI 316L) Inoxpres® and cunifer (90/10) Marinepres® fittings from Raccorderie Metalliche.
A pressfitting is a joint between pipes with fittings. Pressing permanently forms the fitting on the pipe thus leading to a perfect mechanical joint. Press fittings provide a high quality joint, are easily reproduced and require minimum physical effort.
Inoxpres® fittings can be supplied with a diameter of 15 to 168 mm, where competitors only supply up to 108 mm. Inoxpres® AISI316L with material number 1.4404, has a low carbon content to limit the susceptibility to corrosion. Fittings in 316L stainless steel can be fitted to a wide range of pipes, from 15 to 168mm diameter.
A patented profiled O-ring is applied directly at the end of production, enlarging the surface area up to 20% (see photo). Fields of application of the Inoxpres® fittings include the drinking water industry, heating and cooling equipment, thermal solar energy, compressed air and fire protection systems.
Marinepres® is supplied with a diameter of 15 up to 108 mm. Cunifer is one of the most resistant and best performing solutions in saline environments. At the end of production, a green FKM O-ring with a patented profile is immediately mounted in each fitting. Green FKM O-rings can be used between -20 and +220°C, and a maximum pressure of 16bar.
Marinepres® fittings are the best choice when intrinsic anti-corrosion properties are required. Suitable areas of application for these fittings are brackish water, wastewater, heating and cooling, compressed air, fire protection systems and in general for any application in salty and corrosive environments.
90% of the Inoxpres® and Marinepres® fittings are produced seamlessly. Both are 100% compatible with M-profile tools and pressing machines. Not just the fittings, but the systems are certified by Lloyd’s Register, ABS, Bureau Veritas, DN-GL, RINA and CCS and more! All fittings are also marked with work numbers, making all products traceable.
