First to Market

The VIPR®, a patented technology that gives redundancy in identifying unpressed connections, is visible from 30 ft in the air to identify properly pressed connections. The VIPR® also indicates the sealing element material (green = EPDM and yellow = HNBR) preventing costly and potentially unsafe installation errors.

Visible Connections

Press fittings have an internal sealing element which when crimped with a mechanical press tool impinges on the outside diameter of a pipe, creating a leak tight seal.

Offers a pipe joining method requiring no thread sealants, solvents, heat or open flames or the associated safety permits, and a process that produces very little variation from joint to joint.

Merit’s press fittings include a mechanical leak before press (LBP) system that is designed to leak before they are pressed, giving a visual indication of a connection that has not been pressed.

For ease of receipt and proper installation per application, the box, bag, and band are color-coded to match the sealing element.

Innovative Solutions Driven to Provide Value

Streamlining Project Planning & Execution

BIM/Revit files for our press portfolio are available to download and use in the design of your systems.

Innovation with Design in Mind to Save Time, Money & Labor

Press systems are designed to provide the same quality and reliable pipe joint as other connection technologies while reducing the time to complete the joint; therefore, reducing the man-hours required for the entire project.

Training at Every Stage of the Process with Your Success in Mind

Each member of our sales & engineering team is qualified to provide job site product and installation training. This ensures that your experience with our press systems is a trouble-free experience.

Supporting Distribution Growth Strategies Through Vertical Market Relationship Building

Leveraging previous successful installations within a vertical market, or with an installer, helps to expedite growth.
