Making the Right Connection Again and Again

ThE “PuSh-FIT” JOINING SySTEm FOR ½” – 2” L INES QQ

For PEX tube installations, the use of the included tube liner is required. The use of solder, flux, heat or special pressing tools is eliminated with TECTITE™ fittings. This reduces cost of materials (solder, flux, and torch fuel), insurance cost (due to “hot Work” permits) and time required on-site for adhesive curing and system flushing. TECTITE™ is a removable and reusable fitting system that provides the ultimate in flexibility in plumbing system assembly.
