At the 2026 AHR Expo in Las Vegas, NIBCO’s Adam Cadena, area sales manager, showcases the company’s PressACR fitting technology designed to make ACR piping connections faster for HVACR contractors.
PressACR fittings provide a secure press connection solution that can help reduce installation time, eliminate the need for traditional brazing, and improve jobsite safety. NIBCO PressACR provides permanent leak-proof connections in 1/4" through 1-3/8" OD diameters and is backed by a 15-year warranty.
PressACR fittings are approved for use with K, L, and M hard copper tubing and soft copper tubing in 1/4" through 7/8" OD diameters. In sizes 1-1/8" and above, PressACR is only approved for use with K, L, and M hard copper tubing. All tubing must comply with ASTM B280 ACR tube or B88 standards.
PressACR fittings are approved for air conditioning and refrigeration applications using A class refrigerants. The NIBCO PressACR system provides a reliable and efficient solution for joining copper tubing.
