The Instantor brand is iconic amongst plumbers and installers primarily for its Compression, Copper Press and Press fittings. The brand has since taken it a step further to delve more into plumbing tools; recently announcing the launch of the Instantor Press Tool, now available from merchants nationwide.
After a number of industry requests for an Instantor branded Press Tool, Sanbra Fyffe has officially launched the new product with two variations available. The 18V Press Tool is available in two versions – the Mini Press Tool (IT2020) providing an output of 19kN and the Large Press Tool (IT2040) providing an output of 32kN – placing it in a strong spot amongst competitors.
The IT2020 and IT2040 tools can be used for connecting stainless steel pipe, MLCP, PEX pipe with suitable press fittings (Instantor Press and Copper Press Fittings). The high-pressure hydraulic system is powered by a Li-ion battery, actuated by a motor and controlled by a MCU.
Benefits
There are a number of benefits that Press Tools offer in comparison to traditional plumbing methods such as; saving on time, costs and labour. Instantor Press Tools seal as strong as soldering methods but in less time, and with less steps involved. Installers are often shocked when trying press tools for the first time at just how quick pressing is in comparison with traditional methods and time is of the essence when you’re a busy installer, especially on large projects.
There is no waiting for curing and drying, and there’s no need to flush or drain pipes. Pressing can be done on wet pipe systems, saving any additional costs incurred during downtime that traditional methods include.
Press tools allow plumbers and installers to cut material and labour costs and can be used on sites where flames aren’t permitted, such as hospitals.
With the benefits that pressing tools offer, less labourers are needed on one project than would be if using traditional methods.
