Quick and Easy
The NIBCO Press System is user friendly, quick and easy to install. Installation can be completed in less time than traditional
solder, threaded, brazed or grooved copper systems. Significant time savings means tight budgets and deadlines are met
while project delays and cost overruns are avoided.
Full System Product Offering

specified range of ball, gate, globe, angle, check and butterfly valves in addition to a full line of NIBCO tools necessary to
complete a total system installation.
Flameless
The NIBCO Press System is easier and safer to use because there is no flame, solder or flux required. Connections can even
be made on a wet tube!
Reliable
With the NIBCO Press System, a watertight joint is formed between the EPDM seal and the crimped fitting or valve
