Advantages of the MT Press System

Fast and secure installation
: The MT Press system allows connections to be made by pressing, without the need for welding, threading or heat treatment. This technology significantly reduces installation times, lowering labour costs and allowing installations to be modified or repaired quickly and safely. Its low weight also makes transportation and installation easier. The speed of installation makes MT Press particularly suitable for construction projects, industrial installations, refurbishments and extensions where installation times need to be optimised without compromising connection safety.
High resistance to pressure, temperature and corrosion
: MT Press components are manufactured from stainless steel and have been developed for installations subject to pressure, temperature variations and continuous operation. The properties of stainless steel help maintain the mechanical integrity of the installation even under demanding conditions, reducing the risk of corrosion, premature deterioration or loss of performance over time.
AISI 316L or AISI 304 stainless steel with EPDM or FKM seals for different applications
: MT Press is available in two grades of stainless steel to meet different operating conditions. AISI 304 stainless steel is a reliable solution for hydraulic installations, water networks and general technical applications. AISI 316L stainless steel, on the other hand, provides greater corrosion resistance and is particularly suitable for aggressive environments, demanding industrial installations, food-processing applications, chemical installations and environments with high humidity or exposure to corrosive agents. In addition to the stainless steel grade, the MT Press system can be fitted with EPDM or FKM O-rings, depending on the type of installation and the fluid being transported. EPDM seals are suitable for domestic water, heating systems, fire protection systems and oil-free compressed air, while FKM seals are designed for oils, hydrocarbons, solar thermal installations and compressed air networks with higher thermal or chemical requirements.

This combination of AISI 304 or AISI 316L stainless steel with EPDM or FKM seals allows press-fit piping systems to be configured according to each project, from hydraulic and water distribution networks to industrial, solar, technical and process installations.
