Stainless Steel Press-Fit Systems
Stainless Steel Press-Fit for Fire Suppression & Sprinkler Systems
The Smarter, Safer Choice for Fire Protection Infrastructure When it comes to fire safety, your piping system needs to be as dependable as the technology it supports. AusPress stainless steel press-fit systems offer a superior solution for fire sprinkler systems, fire suppression pipework, and hydrant infrastructure, delivering exceptional durability, fire resistance, and long-term reliability—far outperforming carbon steel, galvanised steel, and copper alternatives.
Comparison: Stainless Steel vs Other Fire System Materials






Material | Suitability for Fire Systems | Fire Resistance | Corrosion Resistance | Installation Time | Lifecycle Cost |
Stainless Steel | Fire suppression & sprinkler | Excellent | Excellent | Fast (Press-Fit) | Low (Long-term) |
Galvanised Steel | Short-term applications | Moderate | Poor (rust & scale risk) | Slow (threaded/welded) | High (maintenance) |
Carbon Steel | Basic wet systems only | Good | Poor | Slow | High |
Copper | Limited Use | Moderate | Good | Moderate | Medium |
CPVC / Plastic | Not suitable for most fire | Poor (melts at heat) | Variable | Fast | Medium |
Why Use Stainless Steel Press-Fit in Fire Protection Systems?
High Fire and Pressure Resistance
Our stainless steel piping systems are engineered to withstand high-pressure and high temperature environments, making them ideal for fire suppression systems, fire sprinkler installations, and water-based fire control.
Unmatched Corrosion Resistance
Stainless steel is resistant to internal and external corrosion, rust, and chemical degradation. Unlike galvanised steel or black steel pipe, stainless steel will not flake, scale, or deteriorate in wet or aggressive conditions—ensuring reliability and uninterrupted flow in the event of an emergency.
Leak-Proof Press-Fit Connections
AusPress systems use press-fit technology with pre-installed O-rings to form permanent, watertight seals without welding, soldering, or threading. This reduces the risk of leaks and ensures compliance with pressure and safety standards for fire services.
Faster Installation, Lower Labour Costs
With no hot works or special equipment required, press-fit fire sprinkler pipe installation is quicker, cleaner, and safer—helping contractors reduce on-site time and meet tight project timelines.
FM Approval (Pending)
AusPress is actively pursuing Factory Mutual (FM) Approval—a globally recognized certification for fire protection materials. Once certified, our system will be among the few stainless steel press-fit solutions approved for critical fire applications in Australia.
