As
conventional welding was improved and the practices were shifted to soldering,
there was still the need for further improvement. The next revision helped the
plumbers in making the process further convenient. This revision came with the
introduction of press fittings. Press fittings technology is one of the most
fantastic plumbing practices that has been introduced in the plumbing
profession. It has made the process of plumbing incredibly easy and convenient.
Press fittings technology has been improved in several ways, such as raw
materials. At first, they were only made using brass and aluminum. They were
not as optimal as the users expected. Then, the manufacturers made use of
copper. Copper was optimal, but it had certain health drawbacks. It added an abnormal
metallic smell to the water. Then the next test was made using stainless steel.
This was the most optimal of all the raw materials that were used. After this,
grooved fittings were also introduced, and individual innovations like inox
fittings were also deployed and tested. The most appreciated type of press
fittings were the ones that were made using stainless steel. In addition to
that, lead-free stainless steel was also widely appreciated.
Types of
press fittings
There are
primarily two types of press fittings.
2.
V type profile press
Both of
these profiles are scientifically similar; however, the choice of a
professional among two of these profiles depend highly on their matter of
habit. If a plumbing professional is used to working with M profile press
fittings, there is no way they can switch to the V profile. One of the best
things between these two profiles is that both of these are equally effective
and efficient. It does not matter which profile you use, the end result would
be the same.
