The Pipe That Works As Hard As You Do

Instantor’s Fire Rated Increased Insulation Thickness Pex-al-Pex pipe is designed to meet the latest UK Building Regulations, fully complying with Part L for heat loss and Part B for fire safety. This reflects Instantor’s ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality, certified solutions that meet current market demands. The pipe features a 100% oxygen-tight, butt-welded aluminium core, making it both hygienic and corrosion-resistant.

Available in 16mm, 20mm, and 26mm sizes, the system comes with fire-rated insulation — 17mm thick for 16mm and 20mm pipes, and 19mm thick for the 26mm option — ensuring compliance with relevant fire and energy regulations. As one of only two UK manufacturers offering pipework that meets both Part L and Part B requirements, Instantor provides added peace of mind, backed by a 50-year warranty when used with Instantor press fittings.

Introducing Leak Before Press

Your Built-In Safety Net. Because nobody wants a callback.

Every installer knows the pressure of tight deadlines and the risks that come with a single missed press. One unsealed fitting can lead to water damage, customer complaints, and costly callbacks. That’s why Instantor has introduced a Leak Before Press (LBP) option to its Press System solutions, a smart, fail-safe feature that gives you peace of mind on every job.

In water-based applications, LBP fittings are designed to visibly leak under low pressure if they haven’t been pressed. This creates an immediate visual alert, allowing you to identify and correct any missed fittings before leaving the site. It’s a simple yet highly effective way to catch small mistakes early and avoid major headaches later.

The new LBP Press Fittings are an alternative option to the original, trusted Instantor Press Fittings, with no compromise on the quality or durability you expect. Manufactured from CW617N brass and 304 stainless steel, these fittings are built to last and deliver a tight, secure, and guaranteed leak-free seal. They’re available in sizes up to 32mm and pair perfectly with our Instantor Pex-Al-Pex pipe.

By helping you spot issues before they cause problems, LBP fittings save valuable time on every install. Backed by a 50-year warranty on both fittings and pipe, this is another example of how Instantor is committed to delivering smarter, safer, and more efficient plumbing solutions.
