Instantor Celebrates Double Award Win

Instantor has been honoured with two wins at Ireland’s Plumbing & Heating Awards 2025. The company received the Innovative Product of the Year award for its new R-Press fittings and was also named Manufacturer/Supplier of the Year, reinforcing its reputation as one of the industry’s most trusted names in innovative heating and plumbing solutions.

Instantor has served the Irish plumbing and heating sector since 1926, evolving into a trusted brand known for its durability, compliance, and installer-focused solutions. The company was honoured with the Manufacturer/Supplier of the Year award for its commitment to high-quality products, strong technical support and a proactive response to evolving industry demands.

Neil Gaffney, Managing Director, Instantor, says: “We are incredibly proud to be named Manufacturer/Supplier of the Year at Ireland’s Plumbing & Heating Awards 2025. With almost a century of experience behind us, Instantor has built its reputation on continuous innovation, reliability and a commitment to raising standards across the industry. This recognition reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire team. At Instantor, supporting professionals with high-performance products and expert technical guidance is at the heart of everything we do.”

Instantor’s dedication to continuous advancement is also reflected in receiving the Innovative Product of the Year award for its R-Press fittings. Providing a safer, faster way to join pipework, Instantor R-Press fittings are designed for high-pressure applications, up to 48 bar, including refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pumps (refrigeration side), and variable refrigerant flow systems. Instantor R-Press fittings deliver clean, reliable joints without the hassle and time of flame-based methods.

Transitioning to press fittings can be a game-changer for ACR installers, as they are flame-free, which eliminates the need for hot work permits or fire watches and reduces lengthy risk assessments. This results in quicker installations, less downtime, and safer working conditions, especially in tight spaces. Neil comments: “R-Press is our first-ever range of press fittings developed specifically for refrigeration and air conditioning applications, so we are thrilled to win this award. The new R-Press range embodies the DNA and core values of the Instantor brand, combining innovative engineering, installer-focused design and robust safety advantages. Having this accolade behind us will help build confidence with ACR installers who are considering press fittings for the first time.”

With its double success at Ireland’s Plumbing & Heating Awards 2025, Instantor continues to strengthen its position as a leader in high-performance plumbing and heating solutions. Neil concludes: “As we continue our development in the UK market, these accolades underscore the strength of Instantor’s offering, supporting our mission to provide installers across Ireland and the UK with reliable, future-ready, fit-and-forget products.”
