>B< Press 360˚ Detect

Engineered with a smarter leak-path design and a tougher material, 360˚ Detect makes it far easier to spot any unpressed fitting during testing. It creates a clear, intentional leak point at a higher flow rate, so unpressed joints stand out instantly.

Press tool calibration

Exposure to dirt, mud and water along with constant use can cause your press tools to lose performance slowly. We know how important yours is to your business, so next time you’re in branch, drop your Rothenberger press tool at our your local Reece branch for a free calibration and service. We’ll ensure it’s working its best, so you can too.
