NIBCO INC. announces that more than 200 SKUs in its small-diameter press fittings, including fittings in sizes 2 inches and below, are now recognized by IAPMO for 300 PSI, an increase from the previous 200 PSI rating. The certification complies with ASTM F3226.
To support this upgraded certification, NIBCO has updated fitting markings and packaging graphics, including new labels for bags and cartons. As part of the rollout, new material numbers will be introduced, and packaging will be revised accordingly. The existing inventory of the affected fittings may now be used at the increased 300 PSI rating without issue.
“This enhanced certification highlights the reliability and performance of our press fittings and reflects our ongoing investment in innovation,” said Marilyn Morgan, senior product manager-fittings, NIBCO. “We are proud to offer solutions that meet evolving industry standards and exceed customer expectations.”
The NIBCO Press System delivers industry-leading features, including a patented leak detection design that ensures uncrimped fittings are easily identified, and a flame-free installation method that improves job site safety while offering a clean, professional appearance.
