NIBCO Introduces Branded Markings to PressACR Line
NIBCO introduced branded markings to its PressACR product line, enhancing product identification and helping ensure proper application in the field. Each fitting now features a distinctive black band, with “NIBCO” printed on one side and “PressACR” on the other.
These markings clearly differentiate PressACR fittings, for use in copper tube systems for air conditioning and refrigeration applications, from other NIBCO press fittings in the field, minimizing the risk of misapplication and improving jobsite confidence for contractors.
NIBCO’s PressACR fittings are made from high-quality, globally-sourced pure copper and are manufactured in Stuarts Draft, Virginia. Press end connections reduce installation time, while the patented interior groove design and gray HNBR seals make them suitable for high-pressure HVACR applications.
With a professional appearance and consistent joint quality, PressACR fittings meet stringent certification and compliance standards for applications rated up to 700 psi.
The PressACR line ranges in size from 1/4" OD to 2-1/8" OD and is approved for use with K, L and M hard copper tubing that complies with ASTM B280 ACR tube or B88 standards and soft copper up to 7/8-inch OD.
