Conex Bänninger will officially launch the <A> Press Copper fitting range to the market during the first week of January 2026.
Engineered for drinking water, cold-water installations applications, the fitting is backed by a 25-year guarantee.
With the UK predominantly an M-profile market, Conex Bänninger recognised the need to complement its established >B<-profile range with a comprehensive M-profile solution.
Martin Smith, Conex Bänninger’s Business Unit Director – UK & Ireland, explained: “After extensive feedback from trade professionals, we set out to develop a market-leading product that raises the bar for quality and gives installers and contractors true peace-of-mind.
“First previewed at InstallerSHOW 2025, the reaction from visitors to our stand was extremely positive. We fully expect <A> Press Copper to grow and become popular among installers, contractors and specifiers.
“Compatible with most M-profile jaws, <A> Press Copper offers a quick, straightforward installation with a reliable two-point press – delivering a permanent, flame-free connection and removing the need for hot-works permits.”
Available in 15–54mm sizes, the product uses an unpressed-joint indicator O-ring for straightforward, reliable joint identification.
<A> Press Copper has a maximum operating pressure of 16 bar at a maximum operating temperature of 110°C. WRAS approved, the range also holds DVGW certification.
Martin Smith concluded: “We recognise that <A> Press Copper is entering a highly competitive market. However, we are confident that Conex Bänninger’s heritage, proven track record in high-quality engineering, and the robust technical support that the company offers will be key drivers in the product’s ultimate success.”
