Now for use with M profile jaws

The >B< Press copper fittings (15-28mm) from Conex Bänninger are compatible with a range of press tools, including M profile jaws. Typical domestic installations for >B< Press copper fittings include work on boilers, bathrooms and kitchens. Product benefits include being flame-free, which means that no hot works permit is required, and there is the added financial benefit of being a lower insurance risk and hence reduced premiums.

>B< Press fittings are available in copper and copper alloy and are quick and easy to install, thereby reducing installation time and cost. A 3-point press system (up to 54mm) ensures a secure, permanent leak-free joint suitable for multiple applications. Within its innovative design is an unpressed joint indicator that assists in identifying unpressed joints. If any joint has been missed, it provides installers with a ‘safety-net’, whilst minimising the possibility of fault joints. Marketing manager Tom Mason says: “Up until recently, fittings falling within this size category were recommended to be installed ‘in-situ’ with only a B or V profile jaw. However, after a stringent and intense nine-month trial period, our technical team were satisfied that a good seal could be achieved using an M profile.”

Now available through Toolstation is a selection of RWC’s precisionengineered water control valves. Reliance Valves specialise in pressure, temperature and combination valves that protect and safeguard hot and cold water systems and heating systems.

The newly stocked range includes thermostatic mixing valves, pressure reducing valves, automatic air vents, backflow prevention and ball valves.

It also includes the ‘unique to the market’ Reliance Valves range that features pushfit connections from JG Speedfit. Push-fit connections allow both plastic and copper pipe to be fitted with ease. They’re suited for tight spaces as no tools are required.
