OD clamping end prep tool<br />
Mactech Europe has introduced a new<br />
electric OD clamping end prep tool<br />
for use on both thin-wall and heavywall<br />
tubes with a high percentage<br />
of chrome, especially in high purity<br />
applications.<br />
The tool has a large clamp that<br />
grips tubing from the outside, evenly<br />
distributing the holding power, to<br />
ensure a chatter-free, precision end<br />
prep on both thin-wall and heavywall<br />
tubes. Featuring a 950W electric<br />
motor and requiring no cutting oils,<br />
the end prep tool is suitable for use on<br />
high-purity piping systems requiring<br />
37½° bevels, flat-facing, J-preps or<br />
orbital welding.<br />
Equipped with a ratchet feed that<br />
provides over 1" of stroke, the<br />
Mactech Clamping End Prep Tool<br />
operates on 110/230V and is suitable<br />
for prepping stainless steel and most<br />
hard-to-machine alloys. It has a<br />
narrow body that fits between 1 1 /8"<br />
tubes, a working range of 0.25" to 3",<br />
and uses an easy-to-change block for<br />
changing tube sizes.<br />

Press fitting system for gas, water and air<br />
Eurotubi Pressfitting is a system<br />
of tubes and fittings used for<br />
hydrothermosanitary installations<br />
recommended for the conveyance of<br />
water, gas and compressed air.<br />
The fittings feature an O-ring seating,<br />
with high use resistance rubber seal,<br />
able to support high pressures and<br />
temperatures over 85ºC. <strong>Tube</strong>s and<br />
fittings are assembled through the<br />
permanent deformation of the fitting by<br />
special pressing jaws mounted on small<br />
electromechanical tools.<br />
Assembly by permanent deformation of the<br />
fitting using special pressing jaws<br />
Once pressed, the O-ring ensures a<br />
hermetic and indivisible connection.<br />
The Eurotubi Pressfitting System has<br />
a wide range of available fittings, in<br />
diameters from 15 to 108mm in 316L<br />
stainless steel, and in diameters from 12<br />
to 108mm in carbon steel.<br />
Material quality, constant sealing and<br />
duration tests, and rigorous quality<br />
control have allowed the Eurotubi<br />
Pressfitting System to obtain conformity<br />
with the strictest international<br />
certifications, including the German<br />
DVGW and VdS approval. For naval<br />
applications, the system was approved<br />
by RINA (Italian Maritime Register) and<br />
ABS (American Bureau of Shipping).<br />
In addition, the Eurotubi Pressfitting<br />
System is compatible with most brands<br />
of fittings available in the market.<br />
The Pressfitting System combines the<br />
reliability of the joints with the easy and<br />
quick method of laying, as it does not<br />
require gluing, threading or welding.<br />
A system created with Pressfittings<br />
ensures high performance and long life,<br />
in addition to minimising maintenance.<br />
Because of the quality and reliability<br />
of the stainless steel used, Eurotubi<br />
Pressfitting System is suitable for<br />
creating drinking water and domestic<br />
water systems, and can also be used<br />
for heating, air conditioning, climate<br />
control, gas, cooling, fire extinguishing<br />
and compressed air systems, and in the<br />
naval industry.<br />
Eurotubi states that for thermal<br />
installations, carbon steel represents an<br />
innovative solution, offering the same<br />
quality level provided by traditional<br />
copper systems, but at lower costs.<br />
The company is working to expand its<br />
range with ‘V’ profile fittings. For the US<br />
market, these will be available in inch<br />
dimensions.<br />
