Certified for Confidence

We’re pleased to announce that Brymec Copper Press fittings are now BSI Kitemark Awarded, providing independently verified assurance of quality, performance and product consistency.

This latest achievement strengthens the Brymec Copper Press offering, giving consultants, contractors and project stakeholders even greater confidence when selecting a press-fit solution for potable water, heating, cooling and compressed air applications.

Importantly, this certification complements our existing Kitemark-accredited copper tube range, meaning our partners can now specify and install a complete solution comprising Copper Press fittings manufactured to BS EN 1254-7 and copper tube manufactured to BS EN 1057, both backed by recognised third-party certification.

What Does the BSI Kitemark Mean?

The BSI Kitemark is one of the UK’s most recognised symbols of quality, demonstrating that a product has undergone rigorous independent testing and ongoing assessment to verify its performance and consistency.

For consultants, contractors and building owners, the BSI Kitemark provides independent assurance that the products specified and installed within a system meet recognised standards and are subject to ongoing quality verification.

By achieving BSI Kitemark certification for our Copper Press fittings, Brymec continues its commitment to delivering dependable building services solutions that help reduce risk and improve confidence throughout the project lifecycle.

Designed for Confidence from Specification to Installation

While certification is an important part of system selection, consultants also need confidence in long-term performance, compliance and installation quality.

Brymec Copper Press incorporates leak path detection technology designed to help identify unpressed joints during testing. The specially engineered EPDM O-ring allows the medium to seep past an unpressed connection, making missed joints immediately detectable before commissioning. Once pressed, the fitting creates a secure, permanent seal, while visual press indicator foils provide a simple confirmation that fittings have been correctly pressed.

Together, these features support quality throughout installation and commissioning, providing consultants and contractors with additional reassurance that systems are performing as intended before handover.

Proven Performance on Real Projects

While certification provides independent verification of quality and consistency, real-world project performance remains equally important when selecting products for specification.

Brymec Copper Press has been successfully installed on projects across the UK, supporting contractors in delivering reliable pipework systems across a wide variety of building types and applications.

One such example is RNW Group, who have used Brymec Copper Press across multiple projects. As Jamie Eacott, Site Engineer at RNW Group, comments:

The Brymec Press Fit is very good. I’ve been using it for three to four years now and I haven’t had a leak since. Plus, they’re reliable on their next day delivery which when we’re stuck on a job, is crucial.”
