PRESS
TRADITIONAL
METHODS
Press is a method of joining pipe that uses force to make a connection, eliminating the need
to solder, groove, braze, thread or weld. Utilizing only three short steps, connections can be
completed up to 50% faster than traditional methods and involve no open flame.
Most importantly, press eliminates the need to drain and dry a system, enabling fast,
professional repairs and increased productivity on service calls.
