Installer Show 2025: Our Biggest & Best Yet!
04/07/2025
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:
- R-Press Fittings for ACR applications
- A new Leak Before Press fitting – your built-in safety net
- The next-gen Instantor Press Tool
- Our Lead-Free Brass Compression range
- The IPAP07 fire-rated insulated pipe system, compliant with the latest fire regs
- And the Paktermo Heat Pump range
Each corner of our stand hosted a dedicated demo zone. Visitors could get hands-on with:
- Our Instantor Press System (Fittings & Pipe)
- Copper Press
- Paktermo CSST pipe solutions
- Our sister company Tucson Pumps
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.
