Sustainability is key at Instantor New Instantor stainless steel press range from Sanbra Fyffe

The company continues to expand its range of quality Instantor fittings with the successful launch of Instantor stainless steel press fittings and pipe for gas and water. Instantor stainless steel press products are available in sizes 15mm – 54mm, with larger sizes up to 108mm also available on request for commercial or industrial applications.

As the industry focuses more on a sustainable model, with objectives like the 2030 Climate Target Plan at the forefront, the European Union’s ambition is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to at least 55% below the levels seen in 1990. This means that all industries, stakeholders and individuals are required to play their part to help achieve these goals. The current and future focus is on reducing emissions and improving energy efficiency, along with utilising sustainable materials and manufacturing practices.

Benefits of stainless steel

Stainless steel fittings and pipe are commonly used on modern commercial and industrial building projects due to their quick and safe installation features. Stainless steel is a reliable source of material, even under severe conditions, and does not require a “hot works” permit. It offers substantial savings in time and risk when compared to traditional brazing and soldering methods, and provides a sleek finish, removing the need for additional painting or external protection.

Instantor stainless steel press fittings and pipe are designed and approved for use in potable water, gas supply, water-based heating, saturated steam, solar, sprinkler, compressed air, fire protection and industrial applications. The new range offers fittings that are DVGWcertified and WRAS approved, and gas fittings that bear the BSI Kitemark. The new range is also accompanied by a range of 316L stainless steel pipe, which is also DVGW certified.

Each fitting features an O-ring on each connection which, when pressed correctly, delivers a water-tight seal in seconds. Instantor stainless steel press fittings are quick to install in just five simple steps – cut, calibrate, check O-ring, mark insertion depth and press.

Stainless steel fittings offer an aesthetic, hygienic appearance and are most commonly found in food and pharmaceutical industry applications. They provide a decorative finish, avoiding the need for extra paint or external protection costs, and minimum load loss resulting in faster fluid flows. Stainless steel fittings are also corrosion, fire, heat and impact resistant, offering peace of mind to both the installer and the end-user.

Sustainability in mind

As an NSAI EN ISO 14001:2015 (Environment) certified company, Sanbra Fyffe is fully committed to environmental excellence and is continuously taking steps to improve its environmental performance. It makes sense that the new range of fittings, manufactured using 316L stainless steel, features sustainability at its core and offers long-term value.

Stainless steel is widely considered to be one of the most environmentally friendly metals used in construction as it is 100% recyclable. This is why Instantor stainless steel press fittings and pipes offer a sustainable solution for commercial and industrial plumbing projects.
