Instantor Unveils Leak Before Press Fittings

Every installer understands the challenges of working to tight deadlines and the risks posed by missing a single pressed joint. One unsealed fitting can lead to water damage, customer complaints, and costly callbacks. With this in mind, Instantor has introduced a Leak Before Press (LBP) option to its Press System solutions – a smart, fail-safe feature that gives installers peace of mind on every job.

In water-based applications, LBP fittings are designed to visibly leak under low pressure, if they haven’t been pressed. This creates an immediate visual alert, allowing plumbers to identify and correct any missed fittings before leaving the site. It’s a straightforward yet highly effective safeguard that helps prevent small oversights from becoming costly issues.

The new LBP Press fittings are an alternative option to the original, trusted, Instantor Press fittings, with no compromise on the quality or durability expected from an Instantor product. Manufactured from CW617N brass and 304 stainless steel, these fittings are built to last and deliver a reliable, corrosion-resistant seal. They’re available in sizes up to 32 mm and pair perfectly with the Instantor Pex-Al-Pex pipe.

Neil Gaffney, Managing Director, Instantor, comments: “At Instantor, we’re proud to continually enhance and update our trusted and established solutions to improve the working standards for installers. LBP fittings enable installers to spot any issues before they cause problems, they are a simple enhancement that adds major peace of mind and ultimately reduces callbacks. Backed by a 50-year warranty (when used with the Instantor Pex-Al-Pex pipe), they are another example of how Instantor is committed to delivering smarter, safer, and more efficient plumbing solutions.”

Key features and benefits of Instantor Leak Before Press (LBP) fittings:

  • LBP fittings are an alternative option to the original, trusted, Instantor Press fittings, designed to be used with the Instantor Pex-Al-Pex pipe
  • Fail-safe design – unpressed joints leak under low pressure, providing an instant visual alert. This helps to eliminate hidden leaks and post-installation issues
  • Manufactured using high-grade CW617N brass and 304 stainless steel, which are corrosion-resistant materials that are built to be long-lasting and reduce the risk of leaks or contamination
  • A press tool is used to crimp the fitting securely and safely onto the pipe. This removes the need for heat based methods and is completed in three simple steps – cut, calibrate and press
  • The Instantor LBP fittings and a multilayer Pex-Al-Pex pipe come with a 50 year guarantee (when used together), providing peace of mind that the installation will stand the test of time
  • Available in sizes up to 32mm to suit a range of installations
