Guides for plumbing wholesalers.

Press fittings differ in the shape of their ends, which must match the jaws of the press tool. We explain what the V and M profiles are and how to set a wholesaler’s stock levels for them.

A Besco article number tells you which line a fitting belongs to, its shape and its size. After this guide you will be able to read it without looking in the catalogue.

Gas lines are separate items with different parameters from water fittings. We have gathered what you need to know before you put them on the shelf.

Every jointing method has its customers. We compare tools, diameter ranges and applications to make it easier to put together a wholesaler’s range.

Carbon steel fittings are cheaper and strong, but they are not suitable everywhere. We have summarised what manufacturers intend them for and where it is better to use copper or stainless steel.

Both methods join pipes without a flame, but they suit different situations. We compare Tectite and Besco press using data from the manufacturers' catalogues.

“Zaciskowe” (compression) and “zaprasowane” (press) are two different joining methods, although they are often confused. We explain how Kuterlite differs from press fittings and when to choose which.

PE pipe, e.g. on a water service connection, often needs to be connected to copper or a thread. We show how to choose a fitting from the Kuterlite K700 series in five steps.

Fittings and catalogues carry the abbreviations of several institutions from different countries. We explain what each of them means and which documents customers in Poland ask for.
