The Soldering Iron….
Soldering has long been he connection technique of choice when it comes to copper pipework installation, with plumbers on the whole being reluctant to move away from such a tried and trusted method, despite new improved alternatives such as press fitting snow being widely available comments Joe at Manchester Plumbers.
Press fitting systems are fast becoming the natural choice over and above soldered copper for big contractors, with smaller contractors having still a little way to go in this regard, perhaps as the good news regarding the benefits has not reached them and they, therefore, do not fully understand its potential to save time and cost.
While embracing change is never an easy thing to do, there are very good reasons why larger contractors have willingly made the switch from traditional soldering techniques to press fitting, not least because of the time this installation method saves, the fact that it is simple to use and the convenience and safety benefits it offers. Press fitting copper piping helps to significantly cut down on overall installation time, while offering a flexible, durable and reliable piping system for all project types – all important stuff repeats Joe at Manchester Plumbers.
Press fittings are pressed on to the tube by using a pressing tool, without the need for any soldering or adhesives. Press fitting piping can easily be learnt by an installer, with no requirement for hot works certificate or special insurance, which in itself can prove costly. With time of the essence and cost savings always important it is only a matter of time before many plumbing companies see the major benefits.
