QuickFitting has introduced a new line of Water Heater Connectors, adding to its range of flame-free plumbing and HVAC products.
These flexible connectors, crafted from stainless steel, are optimized for quick installation in constrained spaces.
Addressing Installation Challenges
The newly launched connectors seek to resolve common installation issues faced by plumbing specialists. Water heaters are commonly situated in tight locations like basements, closets, and garage corners, where traditional installation techniques can prove challenging and time-intensive.
QuickFitting's solutions simplify the process by obviating the need for glue or flames, while also adapting to misaligned supply lines.
“Water heater installations shouldn't be complicated by location constraints,” stated Katie Zyra, Director of Marketing and Product Management at QuickFitting. “Our new connectors deliver the flexibility and speed contractors need to complete jobs efficiently, whether they're working in a cramped closet or a basement corner. No flame, no fuss, just reliable connections that perform under pressure.”
Two Installation Technologies
The newly introduced SurePress Water Heater Connectors feature a patented design
The newly introduced SurePress Water Heater Connectors feature a patented design with indication windows that are visible from any direction, regardless of the hose's positioning on the supply line.
Once the connector is pressed, a green indication appears in the windows, signaling successful installation from a distance of up to five feet. This enables both installers and inspectors to swiftly confirm effective connections before pressure testing, minimizing rework and callbacks.
SurePress connectors are tailored for use with V-profile jaws from leading hydraulic press tool brands, working specifically with copper supply lines.
Quick and Durable: Push-to-Connect Options
The Push-to-Connect Water Heater Connectors offer rapid installation by simply pushing the product onto copper, PEX, or CPVC supply lines. The stainless steel material enhances durability and resistance to corrosion, while the flexible hose adjusts for any misalignment between the supply lines and water heaters.
Both product options are available with corrugated and braided stainless steel hose configurations in 18-inch and 24-inch lengths, featuring versions with or without ball valves. All connectors are lead-free, suitable for potable water, and compatible with both electric and gas water heaters, including those with flue vents.
