Press Future Methods:
This CPD module explores the evolving landscape of MEP installation, highlighting the limitations of traditional jointing methods and the advantages of press-fit technology. It emphasizes productivity, safety, and compliance benefits, particularly in complex, time-sensitive projects. With reduced reliance on hot works and improved reliability, press systems offer a modern, efficient solution. The session also covers operational standards, tooling, training, and common challenges, aiming to support safer, smarter construction practices.
Re-assessing the implications of copper press-fitting as an alternative to copper brazing for building services
This CPD module explores copper press-fitting as a safer, more efficient alternative to traditional brazing in building services. It highlights press-fit’s benefits in productivity, fire safety, and ease of installation, especially in complex or repurposed projects. The guide covers technical standards, environmental advantages, and long-term reliability, while addressing common misconceptions. It aims to support informed decision-making and promote best practices in plumbing and HVAC system design and installation.
Stainless-steel press-fit systems for Plumbing applications
This presentation outlines the benefits of stainless steel press fittings in plumbing applications, emphasizing corrosion resistance, hygiene, durability, and fire safety. It compares press-fit technology with traditional methods like brazing and welding, highlighting faster installation, reduced risk, and long-term cost efficiency. Suitable for a wide range of fluids and environments, stainless steel press systems offer excellent performance, environmental sustainability, and are increasingly adopted across Europe for modern and heritage buildings.
