The Smarter Alternative to Carbon Steel and Galvanised Steel Piping
AusPress is a leading supplier of stainless steel press-fit piping systems in Australia, delivering advanced solutions for plumbing, gas, and fire protection applications. Engineered for speed, safety, and reliability, our press-fit technology outperforms traditional carbon steel pipe systems and galvanised steel pipework in durability, hygiene, and lifecycle cost.
Stainless Steel Press-Fit Systems:
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.
