Copper Plumbing and Heating Fittings

If you read some of our previous blogs you can see we offer a wide range of copper pipe and fittings to suit every installation. For the traditional plumber or heating engineer, we carry Table X Copper Tube in sizes 15mm to 54mm and a range of CUB brand solder-ring and end feed fittings. Add to this a similar range of CUB brand brass compression fittings where hot working is not practical or permitted.

For those businesses that are installing larger amounts of copper pipe and fittings, we can offer M-Profile press fittings from M-Press with the same Table X copper pipe. Again, we carry in stock sizes 15mm to 54mm of this easily installed product range and as all good plumbing and heating suppliers should do; we can point you to an available hire centre for M-Profile crimping machines or we can offer the excellent NovoPress pressing machines to purchase. These excellent products are supplied with the latest Milwaukee batteries, with rapid charging as standard.

Pipe Clips and Hanging Material

For the right hanging materials and pipe clips, we can offer an extensive range of products from Caddy. Whether you want to clip copper pipe to a wall or suspend it from a suitable structure; we have the required products to complete the task. Going off this topic for a time we can also offer the same solutions for hanging heavier materials such as carbon steel and plastics; and similar for stainless steel and aluminium pipe systems.

Caddy support products cover a wide range of domestic and industrial pipeline systems; they include rubber-lined clips, loop hangars, Eristrut products, insulated pipe hangars and a wide range of bracket and support systems.

Alternative Materials For Plumbing & Heating

Copper is often targeted by thieves and the fluctuating price can make it very attractive to them. Thin wall stainless steel is now available for water and gas systems in sizes 15mm to 168mm with wall thickness akin to that of copper pipe. Stainless steel installations are generally ignored by opportunists as they do not have the same value as some unscrupulous scrap dealers.

Stainless steel M-Press can be used on heating and industrial plumbing systems and although there is no reason it is not approved for domestic installations. Stainless steel M-Press pipe and fittings are approved for gas systems, we can offer the material with the gas seals pre-fitted from M-Press, or supply standard fittings with extra gas seals to be fitted on-site by a suitable contractor. In addition, we can offer stainless steel compression fittings which are compatible with 15mm to 54mm stock tubes, these fittings are not available in stock.

Malleable Iron Pipe Fittings

Not often used by the plumbing and heating industry in the 21st century, malleable iron pipe fittings are still at the core of our business. We carry Jinan Meide malleable iron pipe fittings Kite Marked BS EN 10242:1995. These fittings are taper/taper cast fittings manufactured by one of the largest producers on the planet. Like ourselves, Jinan Meide is an ISO 9001:2008 registered company and abides by excellent quality procedures; ensuring relevant traceability.

Jinan Meide fittings have been part of our stock availability in black and galvanised versions for well over a decade. We carry a range of sizes from 6mm (1/8″) to 150mm (6″)

(6″), the larger versions are not available in every type; especially as 6″ threaded fittings are not used often in the modern era. For larger pipeline systems we offer welding fittings and flanges from stock in BS EN 10253:2007, ASME B16.9:2012, BS10:2009, EN1092-1:2013 and ASME B16.5:2013. Most of what we just covered is above and beyond for your day-to-day plumbing and heating suppliers.
