Leak Before Press Fittings

Introducing Leak Before Press
Your Built-In Safety Net. Because nobody wants a callback.
Every installer knows the pressure of tight deadlines and the risks that come with a single missed press. One unsealed fitting can lead to water damage, customer complaints, and costly callbacks. That’s why Instantor has introduced a Leak Before Press (LBP) option to its Press System solutions, a smart, fail-safe feature that gives you peace of mind on every job.
In water-based applications, LBP fittings are designed to visibly leak under low pressure if they haven’t been pressed. This creates an immediate visual alert, allowing you to identify and correct any missed fittings before leaving the site. It’s a simple yet highly effective way to catch small mistakes early and avoid major headaches later.
The new LBP Press Fittings are an alternative option to the original, trusted Instantor Press Fittings, with no compromise on the quality or durability you expect. Manufactured from CW617N brass and 304 stainless steel, these fittings are built to last and deliver a tight, secure, and guaranteed leak-free seal. They’re available in sizes up to 32mm and pair perfectly with our Instantor Pex-Al-Pex pipe.
By helping you spot issues before they cause problems, LBP fittings save valuable time on every install. Backed by a 50-year warranty on both fittings and pipe, this is another example of how Instantor is committed to delivering smarter, safer, and more efficient plumbing solutions.
