About Copper Press Fittings
Copper press fittings have transformed how professionals and DIYers install copper piping systems. Instead of relying on traditional soldering, fluxing, and cleaning, the press connection method offers a fast, flame-free, and reliable solution. Using a press tool with interchangeable jaws, the fitting—equipped with a durable EPDM O-ring—is compressed over the pipe to create a leak-free, permanent seal in just seconds.
Copper press fittings are ideal for both hot and cold water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and even certain gas applications (when approved). The result: a clean, professional installation that’s as strong as traditional joints—without the fire risk or long setup time of soldering.
At Plumbingsell, we carry a full selection of copper press fittings and copper pipe fittings for you to connect all types of copper pipe, from type K, L, or M copper pipe. Our fittings deliver long-lasting reliability for any application.
Why Choose Copper Press Fittings?
Fast, Clean, and Reliable Installation
Press fit copper fittings eliminate the need for solder, flux, or open flames—perfect for tight spaces and renovation projects where fire hazards are a concern. Each connection can be completed in seconds, greatly reducing installation time compared to traditional methods.
Versatility and Compatibility
Our copper quick connect fittings and press systems are compatible with ASTM B88 K, L, and M copper pipe, both hard-drawn and annealed. They can be used in potable water systems, chilled water lines, and heating systems with glycol mixtures up to 100% concentration.
