High Pressure Fittings
Colortap high-pressure fittings are components designed to make safe and strong connections in systems operating at high pressures.
They are mainly used in areas where fluids with significant force need to be transported, such as in professional irrigation, industry or domestic environments with particularly demanding water systems.
Colortap high-pressure fittings are characterised by a number of technical features that guarantee their reliability and effectiveness in a variety of applications and can also be fully customised according to the customer’s specific requirements.
Made of robust materials (brass and steel), they offer high resistance to wear and tear and stress, maintaining their integrity even under pressure.
Thanks to their versatility, these fittings adapt to different types of pipes and applications, making them ideal for industrial, agricultural and domestic contexts.
They are also designed to guarantee an optimal seal, eliminating leaks of water or other fluids, thus enhancing operational efficiency and safety, thanks to their resistance to high pressures – up to 250 bar – ensuring reliable performance in all conditions.
Areas of use for high-pressure fittings
Colortap fittings combine safety and ease of use, helping to improve the efficiency of water systems. The areas of use can be different: here are the most common ones.
– Irrigation: ideal for nurseries, greenhouses or agricultural installations requiring a constant, high-pressure flow.
– Industrial applications: for machinery and systems that require water or pressurised fluids for their operation or washing.
– Advanced domestic applications: for garden irrigation systems or systems requiring high pressure to cover large areas or for deep cleaning.
6 Advantages of brass fittings
High-pressure fittings made of brass (pressed and turned) offer a number of advantages that make them ideal for industrial, agricultural and domestic applications where high-pressure fluids need to be handled.
Here are the main benefits:
1. Pressure resistance: brass is a very robust material, capable of withstanding high pressures without deforming or breaking. This makes the fittings perfect for plumbing and irrigation systems operating at pressures up to 40 bar.
2. Durability: brass is resistant to corrosion and wear, especially in wet environments or in contact with water, ensuring a long service life even under difficult operating conditions.
3. Compatibility: brass fittings are compatible with a wide range of piping and systems. Their flexibility makes them usable in industrial, agricultural and residential environments.
4. Safety: they provide an excellent seal, minimising the risk of water or fluid leakage, even in applications requiring high performance.
5. Ease of maintenance: thanks to its mechanical strength and ability to maintain its characteristics over time, maintenance work is rare and simple.
6. Eco-compatibility: brass is a recyclable material and contributes to environmental sustainability.
6 Advantages of steel fittings
High-pressure fittings made of steel also have certain strengths that make them ideal for applications requiring high performance and robustness. Here are the main advantages:
1. Superior mechanical resistance: steel is one of the strongest materials available, capable of withstanding extremely high pressures – up to 250 bar – without the risk of deformation or breakage, making it ideal for industrial applications and complex hydraulic systems.
2. Durability: high-quality steels, such as stainless steel, are highly resistant to corrosion and wear, even in harsh environmental conditions or in contact with aggressive fluids.
3. Chemical compatibility: steel, especially stainless steel, is well resistant to most chemicals, making it suitable for contact with both water and industrial fluids.
4. Excellent sealing: thanks to precision machining, steel fittings offer a perfect seal, preventing leaks and improving operating efficiency.
5. High temperature resistance: they can operate within a wide temperature range, maintaining their mechanical and structural properties even under extreme conditions.
6. Reduced maintenance: the reliability and strength of steel significantly reduce the need for maintenance or replacement.
High-pressure fittings for spraying
High-pressure couplings for spraying are used in various sectors due to their versatility and resistance.
In agriculture they are essential for distributing pesticides, herbicides and fertilisers evenly, ensuring efficiency even over large areas thanks to high-pressure irrigation systems.
In industry they are used for chemical applications requiring the safe transport of pressurised fluids.
In professional gardening, too, these couplings offer indispensable support, enhancing spray or targeted irrigation systems.
High-pressure fittings for pressure washers
High-pressure couplings for high-pressure cleaners are essential components to ensure a safe and stable connection between hoses, lances and accessories, withstanding the high pressures generated during use.
These couplings, designed to improve the efficiency and versatility of high-pressure cleaners, are used in many areas.
In industrial cleaning, they are ideal for high-pressure washing of machinery or hard-to-clean surfaces, industrial vehicles, tanks and platforms, offering an effective solution for removing scale, oil, grease and other residues.
For agricultural maintenance they enable the cleaning of tractors, equipment and fertiliser tanks, as well as ensuring the hygiene of stables and sheds.
In the domestic sector they are used to clean cars, motorbikes, floors, walls and swimming pools, etc.
In the construction sector, they enable the removal of excess concrete, dust and debris from equipment and surfaces after construction or renovation work.
Finally, in specialised sectors, they support the disinfection of surfaces, for example in healthcare and food environments. In addition, they are useful for removing graffiti or debris from facades and walls.
Thanks to these characteristics, high-pressure couplings are essential to optimise the performance of pressure washers in professional and domestic settings.
