The Hammond Valve UltraPress® system is user friendly, quick and easy to install. Installation can be completed in less time than traditional solder, threaded, brazed or grooved copper systems. Significant time savings means tight budgets and deadlines are met while project delays and cost overruns are avoided. The Hammond Valve UltraPress® system can be used in new construction or repair work and is designed for potable water, HVAC and process water systems for commercial, industrial and residential applications. With the Hammond Valve UltraPress® system, a watertight joint is formed between the EPDM seal and the crimped fitting or valve providing a permanent connection.
