Europress Stainless Steel Piping Press Fit

Europress Press Fit Stainless Steel

Efficient | Easy | Effortless

EUROPRESS is the new way to install 316L Stainless Steel pipework using press fittings or as they are sometimes called, CRIMP FITTINGS. Press fittings are much faster than traditional tig welding of stainless steel and needs no naked flames, hot work permits or gas bottles etc. Stainless steel Europress press fittings have the added feature of Press Check Sleeves for extra integrity when installing Stainless Steel press fittings onto S.S. pipe systems. The distinctive blue Press Check Sleeves on Europress press fittings indicates if each joint has been pressed, to give peace of mind that no joints have been left uncompleted. The Europress range of press fittings is the ideal solution for installing Stainless Steel pipework.

EUROPRESS is now available in 316L & 304 Stainless Steel Pipe Systems & STAINLESS STEEL AISI 316L fittings.

Our Fittings Really Bite!

 

What is Press fit?

The stainless steel press fit system is a rigid, cost-effective method of joining stainless steel pipe and fittings in Australia. With no welding, threading or soldering, the system provides tight, leak-free joints using a portable press tool.

The Europress stainless steel press fitting system works in a two-step process: the first step is to use radial compression, which creates a waterproof and airtight seal around the toroidal chamber. The second step is geometric compression, which forms a strong, mechanical joint that is resistant to rotation and longitudinal movement.

Press Fitting is applicable to a wide range of applications and industries, which include heating and cooling, food and beverage processors, manufacturing, mining, defence, automotive, oil and gas processing, wineries and water treatment.

Why Choose Europress?

Europress is the new way to install 316L stainless steel pipework using press fittings, or as they are sometimes called, CRIMP FITTINGS. CCA Solutions is your trusted stainless steel pipework supplier, able to cater to your needs. Press fittings are much faster than traditional tig welding of stainless steel and needs no naked flames, hot work permits or gas bottles, etc. Europress press fit stainless steel has the added feature of Press Check Sleeves for extra integrity when they’re installed onto stainless steel pipework. The distinctive blue Press Check Sleeves on stainless steel Europress press fittings or yellow for gas and red for carbon steel indicates if each joint has been pressed, providing peace of mind that no joints have been left uncompleted.

EUROPRESS is now available in 316L and 304 Stainless Steel Pipework Systems. STAINLESS STEEL AISI 316L fittings are also available from CCA Solutions, your trusted suppliers.

Speedy Installation
Since Europress stainless steel press fit systems are modular, installations, replacements or alterations are a breeze ― no more transporting gas bottles and hoses or the risk of inconsistent welding. The innovative technology of the system enables it to be installed up to ten times faster than traditional systems that require conventional welding.

Unprecedented Accessibility
Press fittings are so simple to install that no hot work permit or skilled labour qualification is needed to get the job done. All that is needed is knowledge of how the components function and how to assemble them correctly. You can easily identify any joints that have not been pressed – this minimises the risk of leaks after installing the pipe system.

Dependable Consistency
With the Europress Pressing Tool, components are easier to assemble without sacrificing reliability. Provided the instructions are followed, the presstools give reliable repeatability and downloadable history. Installers and owners need not worry about subpar welds. Using Europress fittings with the correct pipes and approved pressing tools results in a remarkably durable and reliable pipe system.

Low Injury Risks
Installing stainless steel pipes in Australia does not get any safer than using the Europress press fit system. It complies with OHS requirements since there are no heavy tools, gas bottles, fire hazards and debris to deal with.

A Cost-Effective Solution
A Europress stainless steel press fit system offers a level of simplicity no other industrial piping method can match. The press fit system slashes costs by up to 30 per cent, because expensive specialised labour and gas bottles are not required for welding. Faster, cheaper and reliable, modular systems are redefining the industry standard.

The Most Hygienic Option
Polished stainless steel is free from oil, grease and any other corrosion-inducing materials. Since all Europress systems undergo rigorous testing the potential of leaks and contamination is minimised. Europress 316L pipes and fittings have been certified for drinking water use by many national and international authorities including Australian Watermark & German Standard DVGW W534.

Avoid Leaks when Testing
Each Europress press fit component (up to and including 54mm) features a highly-visible crimp indicator to prevent substandard installations of competitors products of having to fill the pipes to test, then containing leaks, with subsequent draining fluids and clean-up. With the Europress Press Check Sleeves, each joint has a highly visible external indicator, there is no need to fill and pressurize the system with potentially expensive fluid, risk messy leaks, then drain the system and repeat the procedure.

Europress press fittings are used by a full spectrum of industry including:

  • Abattoirs
  • Automotive industry
  • Defence
  • Food and Beverage Processors
  • Heating and Cooling
  • Hospitals
  • Oil and Gas processing
  • Pharmaceutical
  • Manufacturing
  • Mining
  • Universities and TAFE’S
  • Water treatment
  • Wineries

Europress press fittings provide a safe and economical method of installing stainless steel pipework.
