TruPress Frequently Asked Questions
A stainless steel press-fit piping system joins tubing and fittings using an approved mechanical press tool rather than welding or threading. TruPress uses a shaped fitting, seal ring, and controlled press cycle to create a permanent mechanical connection.
TruPress is used anywhere fluid or gas piping is needed. That can include process piping, utility systems, water transfer, or gas lines.
It’s a flexible option that can work across a wide range of applications depending on the job.
Yes. TruPress is designed to handle both fluid and gas applications, which makes it a versatile option across different types of piping systems.
No. TruPress does not require welding or threading to make connections, which helps reduce steps during installation.
Yes. TruPress can support qualified new construction, expansion, and retrofit projects. Its flame-free connection technology can be especially beneficial where hot work, shutdown time, or installation disruption must be limited.
TruPress is available in stainless steel, and can also be offered in other materials depending on the application, including copper, copper-nickel, and galvanized carbon steel.
Support for Every Stage of Your Piping Project
Choosing the right piping system requires more than selecting tubing and fittings. Media compatibility, operating pressure, temperature, seal material, pipe size, installation conditions, and applicable codes must all be considered.
AST supports mechanical contractors, engineers, distributors, and facility teams with the technical information needed to specify and install TruPress with confidence. From initial product selection through installation and system expansion, our team can help you evaluate the right configuration for your fluid or gas piping application.
