image od various fittings with color coded caps

OMEGA® fittings and color coded caps are manufactured using food grade Acetal Copolymers and stainless steelóOur ëOí Rings are produced from food grade Nitrile rubber. OMEGA® fittings meet stringent ISO 9001 requirements and exceed all specifications implemented by the FDA, NSF and Water Quality Association. Together, and in combination with patented, proprietary design, your customerís health and safety are never compromised.

Application Adaptability :

Our fittings are modular in design, they can be coupled together to form new integral fittings, making any complex connection requirement fast and simple.

Easy Quick Installation:

Contrasting the time consuming procedure of sweating traditional copper connections, the installation of OMEGA® fittings is a click and a snap. There is no need to drain systems, remake leaky solder joints, or adjust awkward compression fittings ó an especially important feature when working in confined spaces. Typical installation times can be cut by as much as 40%.

Despite this drastic cut in installation time, tests show that OMEGA® fittings have a substantial service life of 20 years, while withstanding temperatures and pressures well in excess of normal working situations.
