Instantor Enhances PHG Partnership Via Richmonds Plumbing and Heating Merchants

Since joining the Plumbing and Heating Group (PHG) in 2025, Instantor, manufacturer of superior plumbing products, has made significant progress in building connections with the merchant members. Among them is Richmonds Plumbing and Heating Merchants Limited, an independent family-owned business with a history of 140 years in the bathrooms and plumbing and heating industry.

Today, Richmonds operates seven branches across central Scotland, giving the trade easy access to the products and solutions that they need for all projects, large and small. Through the new partnership, installers can now access the Instantor Press System, which includes press fittings and Pex-Al-Pex pipe that are quick and easy to install. The Instantor Press System eliminates the need for heat based methods, such as soldering. The installer simply has to crimp the fitting securely on to the pipe using a Press Tool, which is a fast and reliable method of joining pipework.

Tom Dickson, UK National Sales Manager, Instantor, says: “We’re so pleased to be expanding our connections with PHG merchant members and to be able to offer Instantor products across further parts of the UK through Richmonds Plumbing and Heating. We’re proud to supply Richmonds with our market-leading Instantor Press System, which is backed by an extensive 50 year warranty. The Instantor Press System is designed to be a quick and easy solution for plumbing projects on any scale; domestic, commercial and industrial. The 50 year warranty is a result of years of rigorous research, testing and development, giving trade counter staff the confidence to recommend it as a reliable, fit-and-forget solution.”

Ross Jackson, Managing Director, Richmonds, adds: “At Richmonds, we are committed to providing all our customers with excellent quality products at great prices and by adding Instantor to our portfolio it strengthens this mission. We pride ourselves on our industry knowledge and dedication to providing excellent customer service. We look forward to growing our partnership with Instantor to provide our customers with innovative, long-lasting products they can depend on every day.”
