Providing a safer, faster way to join pipework, Instantor has developed brand new range of
press fittings that are designed for high-pressure applications, up to 48 bar, including
refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pumps (refrigeration side), and variable refrigerant flow
systems. Instantor R-Press fittings deliver clean, reliable joints without the hassle of flamebased methods.
Transitioning to press fittings can be a game-changer for ACR installers, as they are flamefree, which eliminates the need for hot work permits or fire watches, and lengthy risk
assessments are also reduced. This results in quicker installations, less downtime, and safer
working conditions, especially in tight spaces
Instantor R-Press fittings use a precision-engineered 3-point press design for strong,
permanent joints that installers can count on. It’s a permanent mechanical joint, so there is
no need for nitrogen purging, which keeps systems cleaner and installations simpler. Built
with the quality and reliability you expect from Instantor, R-Press fittings help reduce
callbacks and keep projects moving efficiently. The new range also comes with a 15 year
warranty on completion of competency training
Neil Gaffney, Managing Director, Instantor, comments: “We’re thrilled to introduce our firstever range of press fittings developed specifically for refrigeration and air conditioning
applications. The new R-Press fittings embody the DNA and core values of the Instantor
brand and are engineered with premium materials, backed by advanced technical design,
4
and created with installers in mind. Installers can trust R-Press fittings to provide no fuss, no
flame, just reliable, high-performance results.”
