Renowned copper manufactures, MM Kembla & Mueller Industries, have combined nearly 200 years of copper manufacturing experience to bring the Streamline ACR Copper Press Fitting System to the Australian market suitable for use with AS1571 Copper Refrigeration Tube.

It’s this combined expertise that allows the Streamline ACR Copper Press Fittings to be the highest quality, flame-free connection system solution. Utilising T.R.A.P. (Two Ring Advanced Press) technology, designed specifically for refrigerant piping systems and backed by a 15 Year manufacturing warranty.

KemPress Streamline ACR Copper Press Fittings

The highest quality, flame-free connection system for HVAC-R is here – Streamline ACR Copper Press Fittings brought to the Australian market by the expertise of MM Kembla & Mueller Industries, with almost 200 years of combined knowledge and experience in the industry.

Streamline ACR Copper Press Fittings are the industry’s most innovative and reliable press fittings for refrigerant applications. With dual sealing elements and three points of 360° circular crimping, Streamline ACR Copper Press Fittings are compatible with leading press tools on the market and the unique Streamline ACR Press jaws, providing an impressive level of copper joining performance.

Streamline ACR Press Fittings incorporate several thoughtful performance features to provide not only a more reliable fitting but one that is more familiar and intuitive. These advancements have focused on delivering a refrigerant press joining system with greater durability, easier installation, and outstanding leak resistance.

Available in diameters ranging from ¼” to 1-1/8” OD and compatible with R410A and other commonly used refrigerant gases and oils, you can’t go wrong. Our Streamline T.R.A.P Technology is what sets this system apart from others in the market. By using innovative firsts in the world of flame-free joining for air conditioning and refrigeration piping systems, this technology provides super sealing, leak protection and joint strength like no other.

Using similar patterns and lay lengths as traditional braze copper fittings and backed by a 15-year Manufacturing Warranty, this system truly is THE SAFEST BET. DOUBLE OR NOTHING.

WHAT IS T.R.A.P TECHNOLOGY?

T.R.A.P TECHNOLOGY is a Two Ring Advanced Press technology seen nowhere else in the Australian market.

  • Improve installation quality
  • Minimise risks during and after installation
  • Only press fitting with primary & secondary seals
  • Flame-free connection system

DualSeal Ring Design

Inspired by Mueller Refrigeration double O-ring valve stem design, Streamline ACR Copper Press Fittings have two specifically engineered HNBR Elastomer sealing O-Rings which operate in tandem to provide 200% more surface contact and sealing area. It is the only press fitting with primary and secondary seals, allowing an improved ability to seal tube imperfections provided by a double protection.

Trapzone Leak Barrier

As refrigerant molecules are small and notoriously hard to contain, we designed the TRAPZONE LEAK BARRIER to ensure leak protection. How does it work? The precise spacing between the two pressed sealing rings acts as a barrier for refrigerant molecules with the primary seal designed to contain all refrigerant molecules and the secondary seal create a barrier zone for any molecules that may have escaped for greater confidence and reliability. Being the only design on the market that caters for the smaller molecular structure between refrigeration systems and plumbing systems, TRAPZONE LEAK BARRIER has your back.

Tri-Lock Press Profile

You can rest assured that the Streamline ACR Press Fitting system jaws have three distinct mechanical connection points. These connection points create superior joint strength and pressure handling capabilities than other systems on the market. The industry first, triple-crimp design also has an impressive structural integrity and pull-out strength and is aided by an extra deep cup design.

Force360 Press Contour

Developed in partnership with hydraulic press tool leaders Novopress (manufacturers of the KemPress press tool), this technology is well-equipped with industry knowledge and tested against strict standards. The FORCE360 PRESS CONTOUR uses a circular press design for the most uniform compression and sealing possible that out-performs hexagonal refrigeration press systems.

Compatibility To AS1571 Refrigeration Tube

Suitable for use with AS1571 Standard Copper Refrigeration Tube. For the highest quality copper for refrigeration, Kembla Copper Refrigeration Tube is recommended due to its superior wall thickness control for high pressure applications and optimal conditions for use with press fittings, and exhibits exceptional internal cleanliness that exceeds standard requirements.
