The Instantor team hit the NEC Birmingham in full force this year for Installer Show 2025, and what a show it was! From 24th–26th June, Stand 4F18 became a hub of innovation, engagement, and energy — and we’re proud to say it was our biggest and most successful appearance to date.

What We Brought to the Show

We were thrilled to launch several exciting new products and ranges:

Each corner of our stand hosted a dedicated demo zone. Visitors could get hands-on with:

We believe there’s no better way to understand our products than to see them in action — and our demo stations were buzzing from open to close.

The Instantor Grand Prix – A Standout Experience

This year, we added a little friendly competition into the mix with the Instantor Grand Prix — a live game where visitors raced to collect Instantor and Tucson icons and rack up points on our digital leaderboard. It wasn’t just fun, it was fierce!

We were joined by renowned MC Paul Booth, who brought high-octane energy to the track.

Press Reception & Industry Buzz

We hosted a special press reception for top titles in the industry, including Construction Magazine, Installer, Heating & Plumbing Monthly, and more. With food, drink, and a showcase of the latest Instantor innovations, it was a great way to connect with media and industry voices shaping the trade.

A Special Guest Appearance

It wouldn’t be a party without a mascot, right? Stan, our iconic brass nut mascot, made his UK debut and stole the show (and a few selfies) — even teaming up with the Installer Wrench for a mascot double act we didn’t know we needed.

What’s Next?

We’ve already started following up with the brilliant installers who took time to visit us — they’ll be hearing more about our new products in the coming weeks. For our merchant partners, the wheels are already in motion, with conversations progressing quickly.

Bring on Installer 2026 – Our Centenary Year!

Next year marks 100 years of Instantor, and you better believe we’re planning something special. We’ll be moving to Hall 5 with an even bigger stand, more innovation, and (if Stan behaves) maybe even a centenary surprise or two.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, asked questions, tried out products, or just had a chat. We’re proud to support the trade — and proud to keep growing in the UK.

Instantor Stainless Steel Press

The Instantor brand is well known in the marketplace for its vast range of Press Fittings, offering versatile options that cover a wide range of applications.

You know as well as we do that when we tend to find a brand we like, we stick with them. At Instantor, our key focus is on customer relationships, delivering high-quality products at the right time and place, and cost-effective solutions. We recognise that merchants, plumbers, specifiers, and homeowners place a lot of trust in the Instantor brand.

The latest release of fittings came last year when Sanbra Fyffe announced the launch of Instantor Stainless Steel Press fittings and pipe. This range offers fittings that are both DVGW certified and WRAS approved, and gas fittings that bear the BSI Kitemark. Fittings are accompanied by 316L stainless steel pipe, which is also DVGW certified.

What are the Qualities and Applications of Stainless Steel?

The qualities that stainless steel offers as a building material make it appealing for use in commercial and industrial projects. These include its durability (highly corrosion & impact resistant), long-term value and sustainability, cost and time savings, no hot works permit required, no use of hazardous welding gases making it hygienic, fire & heat resistance, and offers minimum load loss allowing for faster fluid flows.

Stainless Steel fittings and pipe are often attractive on large-scale projects for many reasons. As stainless steel is a reliable material, it offers a long lifespan which under proper conditions can be up to 50+ years, meaning it provides residual value when compared with other materials. Paired with the wide range of sizes available, Instantor Stainless Steel Press fittings range from 15mm to 108mm.

Future Proof Plumbing

Sanbra Fyffe are proudly recognised as an ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System) certified company. With this accreditation in mind, our team are striving for better practices as a market leader within our industry. With stainless steel being widely considered one of the most environmentally friendly metals used in construction as it is 100% recyclable, this is just the start.

Further product launches will see Instantor focus on the environmental impact of plumbing fittings, and how our company can lead the way down a path that places sustainability at the forefront.

Our vision is to be the leading manufacturer of quality and innovative solutions to the heating and plumbing industry, assisting our customers to create a healthy and energy-sustainable built environment for future generations.
