We all know there are plumbers out there installing copper gas fittings on water lines.

We’ve even come across water fittings on gas lines! What’s the difference, right?

Well, the difference is subtle but crucial. Because your water fitting is NOT approved for gas and your gas fitting is NOT approved for water. Cutting corners like this means you are personally liable when something goes BOOM.

BUT, there is a way to use the same fitting for both water and gas! Austec has created Australia’s only unique copper press system that’s approved and warranted for both water and gas applications. It’s the Austec difference – helping plumbers, especially maintenance plumbers, save time and money by eliminating the need for extra trips to the supply store. Now, users of Austec’s dual water and gas copper press system can stock only one type of fitting in their work ute. This will reduce both time and stock holdings.
