Fitting Reducer 35-28mm

The EXF9-SFR Press Fit Reducer (Copper) is a high-quality plumbing fitting designed to reduce the size of the pipe connection between two different diameters, ensuring a smooth and secure transition in plumbing or heating systems. This fitting uses press-fit technology to create a quick, reliable, and leak-proof connection between copper pipes of different sizes, without the need for traditional soldering, heating, or additional sealing materials. The use of copper material provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for domestic, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems.

Key Features and Description:

1. Material:

   • The EXF9-SFR Press Fit Reducer is made from high-quality copper, a material known for its excellent strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Copper is a preferred material for plumbing due to its long service life and resistance to the damaging effects of water and heat.
   • Copper fittings are ideal for systems that experience high temperatures and pressure, such as central heating or hot water systems, ensuring that the reducer maintains its structural integrity over time.

2. Size and Configuration:

   • Press Fit Reducer refers to the ability of this fitting to connect two pipes of different diameters. One side of the fitting will have a larger connection size, and the other side will have a smaller connection size.
   • Common configurations could include:
     • 22mm to 15mm, 28mm to 22mm, or similar size transitions.
     • The specific size options will depend on the model, but the design remains the same a smooth transition between two different pipe diameters.
   • The fitting is designed to be used in plumbing systems where a reduction in pipe size is necessary, ensuring an efficient and secure connection.

3. Press-Fit Technology:

   • The press-fit system allows for a fast, secure, and leak-proof connection. Unlike traditional soldering, no heat is required, which reduces installation time and the risk of damage to the surrounding materials.
   • A press tool is used to compress the fitting onto the pipe, creating a permanent seal. The result is a tight, durable connection that can withstand the rigors of high-pressure and high-temperature systems.
   • The press-fit process is safer, cleaner, and faster than methods that require soldering or threading, as there is no need for open flames or messy flux and solder.

4. Applications:

   • Size Reduction: The primary use of the EXF9-SFR Press Fit Reducer (Copper) is to connect two pipes of different sizes, typically used in:
     • Underfloor Heating (UFH): Connecting larger diameter pipes to smaller ones, or adjusting pipe size to accommodate manifold connections or valves.
     • Central Heating Systems: Transitioning between different pipe sizes in heating circuits, radiators, or boiler connections.
     • Domestic Plumbing: Reducing pipe sizes in water supply systems, such as from larger diameter supply lines to smaller pipes feeding individual fixtures like taps, showers, or toilets.
     • Commercial Plumbing: Used to connect pipes of different sizes in larger systems, where size reduction and secure, reliable connections are required.

5. Advantages:

   • Quick and Easy Installation: The press-fit technology allows for rapid and efficient installation, reducing the overall time required to complete a plumbing system, compared to traditional methods like soldering or threading.
   • Leak-Proof and Permanent Seal: The fitting creates a strong, leak-proof connection once pressed, ensuring long-term reliability and minimal maintenance.
   • No Heat or Soldering Needed: Theres no need for heating, solder, or flux, making the process safer, cleaner, and more efficient, particularly in spaces where heat would be hazardous or difficult to control.
   • Corrosion-Resistant Copper: Copper is naturally resistant to corrosion, ensuring that the fitting will perform well over time, even in hot water or central heating systems. This makes it a durable choice for long-term applications.
   • Cleaner and Safer Installation: The press-fit system is safer because it eliminates the use of open flames (which are required for soldering), making it a safer option in residential and commercial environments.
   • Compatibility with Copper Pipes: As the reducer is made of copper, it is highly compatible with copper pipes, which are commonly used in both residential and commercial plumbing systems.

6. Compatibility:

   • The EXF9-SFR Press Fit Reducer (Copper) is compatible with copper pipes of various grades (such as Type L or Type M), making it versatile for different types of plumbing and heating systems.
   • It can be used with standard press tools designed for copper pipes, making it a convenient solution for professional plumbers or DIY installers.
