These components represent a specific type of plumbing connection technology available at a major home improvement retailer, designed for creating secure and permanent joins in piping systems. They eliminate the need for soldering or threading, using a specialized tool to crimp the fitting onto the pipe. An example would be using one of these fittings to connect copper tubing in a potable water system.
Their significance lies in offering a faster, cleaner, and often safer alternative to traditional methods. The adoption of this technology can reduce installation time, minimize fire hazards associated with soldering, and potentially lower labor costs. The evolution of pressing technology in plumbing represents a shift towards increased efficiency and reliability in piping installations.
