A NEW RANGE OF PRESS FITTINGS FOR REFRIGERATION AND AIR CONDITIONING APPLICATIONS, R-PRESS WON INNOVATIVE PRODUCT OF THE YEAR AT IRELAND’S PLUMBING & HEATING AWARDS 2025… Instantor introduces R-Press
Providing a safer, faster way to join pipework, Instantor has developed a brand-new range of press fittings designed for high-pressure applications up to 48-bar, including refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pumps (refrigeration side) and variable refrigerant flow systems. Instantor R-Press fittings deliver clean, reliable joints without the hassle of flame-based methods. The new R-Press range has already been recognised by industry experts, winning Innovative Product of the Year at Ireland’s Plumbing & Heating Awards 2025, reinforcing its place as a standout advancement in ACR installation technology. Transitioning to press fittings can be a game changer for ACR installers as they are flame-free, which eliminates the need for hot work permits or fire watches and lengthy risk assessments are also reduced. This results in quicker installations, less downtime and safer working conditions, especially in tight spaces. Instantor R-Press fittings use a precision- engineered, three-point press design for strong, permanent joints that installers can count on. It’s a permanent mechanical joint, so there is no need for nitrogen
purging, which keeps systems cleaner and installations simpler. Built with the quality and reliability you expect from Instantor, R-Press fittings help reduce callbacks and keep projects moving efficiently. The new range also comes with a 15-year warranty on completion of competency training. Neil Gaffney, Managing Director, Instantor, said, “We’re thrilled to introduce our first- ever range of press fittings developed specifically for refrigeration and air conditioning applications. “The new R-Press fittings embody the DNA and core values of the Instantor brand and are engineered with premium materials, backed by advanced technical design and created with installers in mind. Installers can trust R-Press fittings to provide no fuss, no flame; just reliable, high-performance results.” Contact Instantor for further information on its brand-new R-Press fittings:
