Low-Pressure Press-Connect Steel Unthreaded Pipe Fittings
- For Use On:
EPDM Rubber O-Ring: Ethylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, Water
Buna-N Rubber O-Ring: Air, Lubricants, Propane, Fuel Oil, Natural Gas, Diesel Fuel - Specifications Met:
EPDM Rubber O-Ring: ASME B31,1, ASME B31.3, ASME B31.9, FM 1920, UL 213
Buna-N Rubber O-Ring: ASME B31.1, ASME B31.3, ASME B31.9, ANSI LC4/CSA 6.32, International Fuel Gas Code - Maximum Pressure:
EPDM Rubber O-Ring: 200 psi @ 72° F
Buna-N Rubber O-Ring: 125 psi @ 72° F - Pipe Nipples and Pipe: Use Schedule 40 Steel
- Flanges: Use Class 150 Steel
Crimp these fittings onto steel pipe to form a tightly sealed connection that’s faster than threading or welding and doesn’t require heat. An internal gripping ring and rubber O-ring create a secure seal when crimped. They are designed to leak if fittings have not been crimped; a colored dot marks the leak path so it's easy to spot unsealed connections. These steel fittings are coated in zinc-nickel to resist corrosion, but will rust if frequently exposed to saltwater or harsh chemicals. They are comparable to Viega MegaPress steel fittings.
Fittings meet ASME B31 code requirements for use in pressure piping systems.
Fittings with an EPDM rubber O-ring are often used for water processing lines, fire sprinklers, and heating and cooling systems. EPDM rubber won’t degrade when exposed to water, ethylene glycol, and propylene glycol. These fittings meet UL 213 and FM 1920 standards for use in fire protection systems.

Crimping tools seal fittings in less than five seconds. These tools are cordless, so you can take them to any job. Connect the jaw or ring that matches your pipe size to these tools, then pull the trigger to crimp the fitting. The pivoting head lets you access connections from any angle.

Jaw and ring sets include three jaws, three rings, and one ring actuator jaw. Jaws are for pipe sizes 1/2 to 1; they fit directly into the crimping tool. Rings are for pipe sizes 1 1/4 to 2; clip the ring around the fitting and use the ring actuator jaw and crimping tool to press the open ends together.

Press these fittings onto stainless steel pipe using a crimping tool for a permanent, leak-tight connection that's faster than threading or welding and doesn't require heat. Fittings have an internal stainless steel gripping ring and rubber O-ring that create a seal when crimped. They are designed to leak if fittings have not been crimped; a colored dot marks the leak path so it's easy to spot unsealed connections. All of these fittings are made of 304 stainless steel to resist corrosion from frequent exposure to water and fuels. They’re often used for water processing lines, heating and cooling systems, and fuel lines. They are comparable to Viega MegaPress fittings.
Fittings meet ANSI/ASME B31 code requirements for use in pressure piping systems.

Screw-Plug Immersion Heaters for Oil and Coolant
To heat oil and coolant without creating hot spots and damaging the heating element, these heaters have a lower watt density than heaters for water or chemicals. They install into threaded container openings or pipe couplings to quickly and efficiently heat liquid through direct contact.
Heaters without temperature control require a temperature switch or controller (sold separately) to regulate heat output.
Heaters with an adjustable thermostat automatically turn on when the temperature drops below the set temperature and off when it rises above the set temperature. Adjust the set temperature with the dial.
Incoloy heating elements are more corrosion resistant than steel heating elements.
Note: Fully immerse the heating element in liquid to prevent heater failure. These heaters install through threaded container openings or pipe couplings.
