This company’s MegaPress stainless-steel press fittings (photo) are said to dramatically reduce the time required to make pipe repairs compared to other pipe joining systems, leading to shorter periods of production downtime. MegaPress fittings are equipped with this company’s patented Smart Connect feature, which allows installers and maintenance personnel to easily identify unpressed connections during pressure testing. Designed for Iron Pipe Size (IPS) stainless steel, the new line of fittings reportedly enables secure connections in seven seconds or less, reducing installation time by up to 60% compared to welding or threading techniques.
