Marketing InformationPress type end connections eliminate the need for soldering, reducing labor and material costs and eliminating the fire hazard associated with the process. Press-to-connect connections are designed for installation onto ASTM B88 types K, L and M hard drawn copper tubing. Coiled (annealed) soft copper tubing is not recommended, but can be used if ends are made round. Fittings in nominal sizes 1/2 to 4 in feature molded recess O-rings, which when unpressed, create leak paths at multiple points during the pressure test, to quickly identify an unpressed joint. Available in nominal tubing sizes 1/2 to 4 in in a variety of configurations.
