Many modern systems use a hybrid configuration, pairing “Apollo” SmartPress for potable and hot water loops with “Apollo” PowerPress for mechanical and closed-loop circuits.
February 10, 2026
The “Apollo” PowerPress system is engineered for closed-loop water circuits within commercial and multifamily heat pump systems.
These heavy-duty fittings feature stainless steel grip rings and separator rings to ensure premium performance. Sizes range from 1/4" through 2" and now include 148 SKUs of BenchPress and BenchPressG.
The PressACR system is a copper tube joining method that delivers consistent joint quality and is designed to meet the demands of air conditioning and refrigeration applications.
With its patented design, which includes four to six indication windows depending on the size of the fitting, SurePress indication windows are engineered to be visible from any angle, no matter which orientation the fitting is placed on the pipe.
