Conex Banninger and Reese launch enhanced fitting range

Reece says the >B<Press 360° Detect is designed to expose unpressed fittings immediately, reducing the risk of false seals during pressure tests.

While missed press connections can be hard to detect in traditional fittings, Reece says the >B<Press 360° Detect creates a clear, higher-flow leak point in any unpressed fitting.

According to the company, the >B<Press 360° Detect offers the following advantages:

• Extra leak paths: The upgraded design features multiple leak paths around the entire fitting, increasing visibility and further reducing the risk of false seals
• Clear visual proof during pressure testing: 360° Detect ensures that, during pressure testing, unpressed fittings release water visibly and reliably from unpressed joints at both initial and final test pressures, making them instantly obvious. According to Reece, this built-in quality-control feature allows installers to verify correct installation before sign-off.
• Built-in safeguard: 360° Detect is integrated into every >B<Press water fitting up to 50mm, eliminating the risk of missed connections. With 115 years of European engineering and manufacturing experience from Conex Banninger, Reece says the product is designed to last.
• Unmissable confirmation: Installers can quickly identify and rectify any unpressed fittings, reducing costly rework and callbacks.
• Enhanced confidence: >B<Press 360° Detect is a built-in safeguard, ensuring that every joint is secure under both low- and high-pressure testing.
• Designed for larger installations: >B<Press 360° Detect makes unpressed fittings unmissable and mitigates risk, even on larger and more complex installations.
