Why Conex Compression Fittings
The compression fitting has been around since the 1940s with Conex Bänninger introducing the distinctive rib-nut compression fitting to the market in 1950.
Ribbed nut are Unique and clearly identifies the brand, and therefore the quality of the fittings. In the past if you requested a compression fitting you used to get a Conex fitting as standard.
A lot of County Councils still request/specify Conex
Conex Compress fittings are available in Brass or DZR, with many different fitting types, and in sizes from 6 mm right up to 108 mm ( FOR INFO.. some “cheaper” brands only do the “core” 15.22.28mm) or select the “volume” sizes, and a lot just do brass and do not offer DZR)
We also provide Chrome Plated and Nickel plated versions.
Full UK technical support and backup for the fittings. Not just a “supplier” of Chinese imported compression fittings products and manufacturer’s warranty / support etc.
