Why Choose Stainless Steel Press-Fit?

Stainless steel press-fit is the modern, low-maintenance piping solution for commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects. Our systems feature mechanical press connections that eliminate the need for welding or threading, reducing installation time and cost while ensuring leak-proof, code-compliant performance.

Stainless Steel vs Carbon Steel vs Galvanised Steel

Corrosion Resistance That Lasts

Unlike carbon steel or galvanised pipe, stainless steel pipe systems offer inherent corrosion resistance—not reliant on coatings that deteriorate over time. Ideal for high-humidity, coastal, and industrial environments.

Superior Hygiene for Potable Water

Stainless steel is a non-toxic, non-leaching material, making it safe for drinking water systems. Galvanised pipes may release zinc, and carbon steel can rust internally, posing a contamination risk.

Fire-Safe & High Pressure Ready

Our stainless steel press-fit systems meet stringent requirements for fire-rated pipe systems, withstanding high temperatures and pressures beyond the capabilities of many carbon and galvanised options.

Reduced Lifetime Cost

With minimal maintenance, extended service life, and no need for repainting or internal cleaning, stainless steel offers the best total cost of ownership compared to lower-grade steel alternatives.

Faster, Safer Installation

No hot works, no threading, no flux—just clean, fast, and flame-free connections. Press-fit installation saves time on-site, minimises safety risks, and reduces labour costs.

Ideal Applications for Stainless Steel Press-Fit Systems

  • Potable water supply and filtration.

  • Gas distribution systems.

  • Fire sprinkler and suppression piping (with relevant approvals).

  • Industrial process lines.

  • Food and beverage-grade piping.

  • Chemical transport systems.

Where to use?

AusPress is approved to convey potable (drinking) water, compressed air, oil & fuels, instrument air, natural and inert gases – see our approvals page for more information. Using the 316 grade of stainless steel provides resistance to most chemicals and additives that are prevalent in food processing and cleaning processes.
