Brass Press Fittings — Lead-Free, for PEX & Multilayer, Built to German Standards

Hitze brass press fittings pair a lead-free, dezincification-resistant (DZR) brass body, a stainless-steel sleeve and a precision O-ring seal into one permanent, leak-free joint — engineered in Germany, cut to the TH/U/F/M jaw profiles your crews already press.

Sizes 16 / 20 / 25 / 32 mm. One fitting for PEX and PEX-AL-PEX multilayer pipe. Lead-free brass supported toward NSF/ANSI 61 for North America and WRAS / DVGW for the UK and EU — one German brand for pipe and fittings alike.

Trade & bulk supply only — Hitze supplies wholesalers, contractors, importers and private-label brands, not homeowners.

Lead-Free Brass

Lead-Free Brass Press Fittings — DZR Grade, NSF/ANSI 61 Potable

A press joint hides inside a wall for decades. The brass grade decides whether it stays safe and corrosion-free — Hitze uses lead-free, dezincification-resistant brass.

Hitze brass press fittings are machined from lead-free, dezincification-resistant (DZR) brass grades such as CW724R / CW511L. Lead-free chemistry means they clear NSF/ANSI 61 potable-water expectations in North America and WRAS / DVGW drinking-water requirements in the UK and EU, so wholesalers and contractors can spec them into potable installs with confidence. Dezincification resistance protects the joint from zinc-loss corrosion in aggressive water — critical for fittings buried behind finished walls. Every fitting shares the core build: lead-free brass body + stainless-steel sleeve + O-ring seal.

Tool Compatibility

Jaw-Profile Compatibility — Keep the Press Tool You Already Own

Sizes & Pipe

Sizes 16-32mm — One Brass Fitting for PEX and PEX-AL-PEX Multilayer

Cold and hot, PEX and multilayer — Hitze brass press fittings cover the everyday run without forcing you to stock two systems.

Hitze brass press fittings are supplied in 16, 20, 25 and 32 mm — the everyday working range for domestic hot- and cold-water and hydronic heating loops. The same lead-free brass fitting is available for PEX (PEX-a / PEX-b / PEX-c) and for 5-layer PEX-AL-PEX multilayer pipe, so a single fitting family serves both pipe types on one project. Fitting geometry covers couplings, elbows, tees, reducers and threaded transition adapters for pipe-to-valve and pipe-to-manifold connections.
