PRESS FITTING CONNECTOR, PIPE AND TOOLING RANGE
At Béné Inox, we have developed our range of products to provide coherent solutions to fulfil our customers' expectations over more than 40 years. We have done this by taking into account our customers' requirements, specifications and the assistance that we desire to provide to all of our customers.
Due to this, and to meet the requirements of a constantly evolving market, we propose a full range of fitting fittings/connectors pipes and their associated tooling .
This means that whatever your industry or your processes we will be able to meet your needs and propose solutions that will be suited to your specific requirements.
Press fitting fittings/connectors can be used in low pressure applications to build safe and economic plumbing, heating and industrial piping networks. This means that they can be used to build networks such as those present in water treatment plants, piping systems which transport compressed air, inert gases or that are under vacuum conditions, sprinkler systems, heating and cooling networks and solar energy installations.
The main advantages of this connection method, which does not require welding , are its:
- simplicity : press fitting is easy to implement and you do not need any sort of specific licence to carry it out (i.e. you do not need to have welding qualifications).
- speed and manoeuvrability : this type of connector is guaranteed to reduce piping assembly time by about 30% and as it requires less space than other types of connectors it can also be used in places that are difficult to access.
- reliability : these fittings are perfectly watertight (with an o-ring gasket that you can adapt to the fluid that you need to transport in your process) and cannot be disassembled (meaning that there is no risk of them accidentally becoming loose). On top of these advantages, the stainless material that they are made from means that they will remain corrosion free over time.
- safety : the press fitting process does not produce any sparks, flames or temperature increases so it can be used in sensitive environments.
Béné Inox's press fitting fittings/connectors range contains :
Connectors:
Press fitting fittings/connectors in 316L stainless steel which are proposed in diameters ranging from 15mm to 108mm.
We stock the following connectors:
- 90°/45°/60°/30°/15° female and male elbows
- wall brackets, Ts, sleeves, union connectors, reducers and pipe bridges
- 3-part valves and non-return check valves
- bulkhead penetration pipes and gaskets.
Our different press fitting connector models comply with the following standards: ACS (French drinking-water piping sanitary compliance), CSTB (French Scientific and Technical Centre for Building compliance), DVGW (gas and water supply compliance).

Pipes :
Welded pipes are welded from 15 mm to 108 mm in diameter. They are delivered with caps to avoid any external intrusion.
The different models of welded pipes are available according to some norms :
- EN 10088, manufactured in EN 10312, and EN 10217-7 for 304L, stainless steel 1.4307
- EN 10088, manufactured in EN 10312, and DCGW-W541 for 316L, stainless steel 1.4404
Moreover, the anneal (of 316L) makes easier its shaping and bending.
This version has also, ACS certifications (for sanitary hot water) DVGW , and CSTB ( for the construction industry)

Pressing tools :
Press fitting tools are a crucial element for obtaining good press fitting connections.
If you use a suitable press fitting tool it will only take a few seconds to deform your parts as required, whether they are 15mm or 108mm in diameter (depending on the size of the model in question). Our press fitting tools provide the 32kN of piston force that is required to press fit stainless steel parts.

These press fitting tools are available for the following press fitting pipe diameters:
- Mains powered press fitting tool for Ø15 to Ø54 mm pipes ( model 41171 ) :compact and light, ideal for press fitting pipe diameters from 15 to 54mm.
- Battery powered press fitting tool for Ø15 to Ø54 mm pipes ( model 41172 with Bluetooth functionality ) : take advantage of the flexibility and autonomy of this battery powered tool.
Data related to this tool can be sent to your smart phone, making it easy for you to closely follow your interventions and plan your maintenance at the right time.
- Battery powered press fitting tool for Ø15 to Ø108 mm pipes ( model 41175 ) : which can be used on all possible pipe dimensions and also has a Bluetooth connection which makes it possible to check that your press fitting has been completed successfully.
- Battery powered press fitting tool Ø15 to Ø35 mm pipes ( model 41170 ) : lighter than other models, this press fitting tool makes it possible to press fit small diameters from 15 to 35mm.
It is also possible to transfer tool related data via a USB cable.
As well as selling press fitting tools, we also hire them (please contact us for more information ).

Pressing collars:
Pressing collars produce press fittings with an "M" profile .
For pipes above 42mm, you need to use an adaptor as well as a circular pressing collar to ensure better efficiency.
For 108mm pipes it is necessary to carry out a double press fitting, as shown in the following video: Press fitting 108mm diameter connectors made of stainless steel

Additional elements:
Pipe cutters:
Model 41177 is available in 2 sizes (10 to 60mm and 60 to 115mm). It is robust and can be used to cut pipes of all diameters.
It is equipped with a 841177-MOLI wrench and is specifically dedicated to stainless steel pipe cutting.
We also sell the 41181 model. This is characterised by its compact shape and its telescopic handle which can be easily adapted to pipes ranging from 6 to 76mm in diameter.
Deburrers:
It is important that your pipes are cut cleanly if you want to produce a quality press fitting. You should use a deburrer on the inside and outside of your cut pipes to make sure that you do not damage your sealing gaskets.
We propose the model: 41178
Depth indicators:
This marking tool allows you to add a visual mark onto your pipes so that you can ensure you have correctly positioned your press fitting connectors before you use them. This is very useful for assembly testing. Our depth indicator is model 41179 .
