When installers need compression fittings that deliver enhanced performance, valves and fittings specialist Pegler Yorkshire has always been the first choice. By operating a policy of unceasing product development, Kuterlite has established itself as the market leader and reputation set to be reinforced further by the improved Kuterlite fitting – the K900-Pro.
The experts at Pegler Yorkshire have studied the performance of compression products throughout the market and have identified applications where new modifications could push the boundaries of the performance of the existing range even further.
These modifications have meant re-visiting the design characteristics of the compression nut itself, and using the company’s years of know how to remodel the nut to deliver enhanced engineering safety in every new K900 fitting. Manufactured to exceed the requirements of BS EN 1254-2, Kuterlite-PRO is recommended for all applications where the K900 was previously employed, but particularly comes into its own in specialist areas such as chilled water applications.
The secret of the new fitting lies in the top four modifications that have been made to the K900-PRO range to deliver this new enhanced performance. Firstly, the forged nut reduces residual stresses better than ever before; while wall thickness has been increased, to exceed BS EN 1254-2 by 50%. Thirdly, the nut is now wider across the flats, to better suit most common metric spanner types for ease of installation, while finally the height of the nut flat has been increased to deliver greater contact.
Pegler Yorkshire product market manager Kathleen Bramwell has no doubts about the new performer, “The new K900-PRO is a great product. Years of research and development has now delivered a product that does not disappoint on any level. It is perfect for installers, thanks to many of the new improvements, while still delivering an industry leading 25 year guarantee.”
Along with the points above, the fitting boasts an all new internal profile, which helps to ensure correct compression ring deformation every time, and the new K900-PRO is available now.
“Kuterlite has always been a popular choice and is supported with a wide range of patterns, size range, from 12-54mm with the chunky nut and 67-108mm with the flange and bolt method, and a choice of finish,” added Kathleen. “This new PRO has been designed to be more robust than ever before and its new funky and chunky design is typical of the brand and continues to make this fitting both a practical and stylish option – particularly in areas with exposed pipe work as there is a Chrome Plated option available.”
