    An Unbeatable Range Of Press-Fit Fittings

    Elbows, tees, couplers, connectors, reducers, you name it, we’ve got them!

    Tees

    Press-fit tees are used to create branch connections within pipework systems. Our range includes equal tees, reducing tees, branch-reducing tees and female BSP branch tees, available in sizes suitable for domestic and commercial installations. Options are available across water, gas, stainless steel and galvanised carbon steel systems.

    Elbows and Bends

    Elbows and bends allow pipework to change direction without needing additional fabricated joints. We stock 90° elbows, 45° elbows, street elbows, obtuse elbows, wall plate elbows and bent connectors across multiple materials and profiles. These fittings are commonly used where pipe routes need to turn neatly through walls, floors, risers and plant areas.

    Adaptors and Connectors

    Adaptors and connectors are used to transition between press-fit pipework and threaded, copper, compression or appliance connections. The range includes straight adaptors, elbow adaptors, union connectors, BSP male and female connectors, swivel fittings and copper tail connectors. These are useful where press-fit systems need to connect into existing pipework or different system components.

    Couplers, Slip Couplers and Reducing Couplings

    Couplers join two lengths of pipe, while slip couplers are particularly useful for repair work or alterations where pipe movement is limited. Reducing couplings allow installers to step between different pipe sizes while maintaining a press-fit connection. At BES, the range covers straight couplings, slip couplers and reducing options across copper, stainless steel and galvanised carbon steel systems, with sizes extending from common domestic diameters to larger commercial pipework. Options are available for both water and gas applications, including long repair couplers and specialist press-fit systems such as Conex >B< and RIIFO.

    Reducers and Fitting Reducers

    Reducers are used when the pipe diameter needs to change within a system, helping maintain flow while adapting between different pipe sizes. Our selection includes press-fit fitting reducers and reducing couplings in materials such as stainless steel, copper, brass and galvanised carbon steel. With sizes covering everything from small domestic pipework to larger commercial installations, the range supports both water and gas systems, as well as specialist applications.

    Stop Ends, End Caps and Caps

    Stop ends, end caps and caps are used to seal pipework during installation, testing, maintenance or when future extensions are planned. BES stocks a wide selection of press-fit stop ends and caps in copper, stainless steel and carbon steel, suitable for both water and gas systems. The range includes standard press-fit stop ends alongside specialist variants designed for different materials and profiles, making it easier to safely isolate sections of pipework during ongoing work.

    Ball Valves and Full Bore Ball Valves

    Press-fit ball valves provide isolation and flow control within pipework systems. The range includes butterfly-handle, lever-handle, screwdriver-operated and full-bore options, as well as stainless-steel ball valves for suitable applications.

    Crossovers

    Press-fit crossovers are used where pipework needs to pass over another run without additional fabrication. Full and part crossover options are available in materials such as galvanised carbon steel and stainless steel.

    Manifolds

    Press-fit manifolds help distribute water to multiple outlets from a single supply point. RIIFO plumbing manifolds are available with valved outlets and are commonly used in multi-outlet plumbing layouts.

    Fittings Packs

    Press-fit fitting packs offer a convenient selection of commonly used fittings for water and gas installations, helping installers keep essential components to hand. Our range includes complete fitting packs for water, gas and stainless-steel systems, typically containing a mix of tees, elbows, couplers and connectors. These packs are particularly useful for regular site work, maintenance teams or installers who want a ready supply of core fittings without sourcing individual components.

    Flange Adaptors and Flare Adaptors

    Flange adaptors and flare adaptors are used to connect press-fit pipework to flanged equipment or flare-type connections. They are commonly found in plant rooms, commercial systems and refrigeration installations. At BES, we stock a selection of press-fit flange adaptors and flare fittings in stainless steel and compatible materials, including options within systems such as Conex >B< MaxiPro. These fittings allow secure integration between press-fit pipework and specialist system components.

    P Traps

    Press-fit P traps are used in refrigeration and air-conditioning pipework to manage condensate and maintain system efficiency, particularly in suction lines. Our range includes Conex >B< MaxiPro press-fit P traps, designed for use in refrigeration systems where reliability and correct system design are critical. These fittings are suited to professional installations that require compatibility with press-fit pipework and specific HVAC applications.

    Adaptor Inserts, Gauges, Lubricants and Press Kits

    Supporting accessories help with accurate, consistent installation. The range includes adaptor inserts, a Conex >B< MaxiPro depth gauge and marker, fitting lubricant, and the REMS Mini-Press 22 V ACC Kit.

    What Are Press-Fit Fittings Used For?

    Press-fit fittings are used to join pipework mechanically using a compatible press tool and jaw. Once pressed, the fitting forms a permanent joint without soldering or threading. They are commonly used in heating systems, hot and cold water services, gas pipework, chilled water systems, commercial plant rooms and refrigeration applications. The correct fitting must always be matched to the pipe material, system type and press profile.

    Benefits of Press-Fit Fittings Over Soldered Joints

    Press-fit fittings reduce installation time because joints can be made quickly using a press tool. They are particularly useful in locations where hot works are restricted, such as occupied buildings, roof spaces, plant rooms or areas with fire risk. They also provide a cleaner installation process, as there is no need for flux, solder or flame. For repair work and commercial pipework, this can also help reduce disruption and simplify installation planning.

    How To Choose The Right Press-Fit Fitting

    Start by identifying the system type, such as water, gas, heating, chilled water or refrigeration. Next, match the fitting material to the pipework and the application. Copper, stainless steel, galvanised carbon steel and multilayer systems are not interchangeable unless the fitting is specifically designed for that transition.

    Check the pipe size, fitting type and press profile before ordering. For example, tees are used for branch connections, elbows and bends for changes in direction, couplers for straight joints, reducers for size changes, and adaptors for threaded or system transitions.

    Installation Guidance

    Press-fit fittings must be installed using the correct preparation method and a compatible press tool. Pipe ends should be cut cleanly, deburred, and inserted to the correct depth before pressing. A depth gauge or marker can help ensure the pipe is fully seated before the joint is made. The correct jaw profile is essential. Installers should always follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions and check the system before commissioning.

    Helping You Get The Perfect Press Every Time

    Getting your fittings connected perfectly every time is simple when you have the right tools for the job. BES stocks a wide range of tongs and kits from brands such as REMS. Some of the brand's best-sellers include the REMS Contour V Akku-Press Tongs - 54mm and the REMS 28mm Mini-Press Tongs. The REMS Mini-Press ACC Kit is also a must for anyone looking to make life easier when pressing, especially with the rotating design of the barrel making it easier to work in awkward spaces.

    Some of the other tongs and compression tools we stock include adaptor tongs and press-fit jaws.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are press-fit fittings?

    Press-fit fittings are mechanical pipe fittings joined using a press tool and compatible jaws. They create a secure joint without soldering, threading or open-flame work.

    What are the benefits of press-fit fittings over soldered joints?

    Press-fit fittings are faster to install, avoid hot works, and provide a clean jointing method without flux or solder. They are especially useful where flame work is restricted.

    Which material is best for gas line press-fit fittings?

    Only press-fit fittings specifically designed for gas applications should be used on gas pipework. Product suitability must be verified before installation, and gas work must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

    What press jaw profile do I need?

    The required jaw profile depends on the fitting system. M, V, B and U profiles are not interchangeable, so always match the press jaw to the manufacturer’s fitting requirements.

    Are press-fit fittings suitable for water systems?

    Yes, press-fit water fittings are widely used in hot and cold water systems, heating systems and commercial pipework, provided the correct materials and fitting types are selected.

    How do you install copper press-fit pipe fittings?

    The pipe should be cut square, deburred, inserted to the correct depth and pressed using the correct tool and jaw profile. Always follow the fitting manufacturer’s instructions.

    What is the difference between a coupler and a slip coupler?

    A standard coupler joins two pipe ends together. A slip coupler has no internal stop, allowing it to slide along the pipe, making it useful for repair work.

    Do you sell press-fit tools?

    Yes, BES stocks selected press-fit tools and accessories, including press kits, depth gauges, markers and lubricant for compatible systems.
