Conex Bänninger features a sneak peek into a new addition to the >B< MaxiPro range at InstallerSHOW 2026

Running concurrently with this event will be the 14^th World Plumbing Conference, taking place at the NEC for the first time and Conex Bänninger is proud to be the official water partner. Lindsey Coleman, Event Project Manager for the World Plumbing Conference 2026, said: “Conex Bänninger is the perfect water partner for the World Plumbing Conference 2026.

“Protecting our water supplies and supplying clean water worldwide will be a big theme of the World Plumbing Conference. Manufacturers like Conex Bänninger invest heavily in quality innovations, to ensure the water in our systems is of the highest quality, and that’s something to be discussed and celebrated.”

Conex Bänninger’s >B< Press range is suitable for multiple applications including potable water. Manufactured from copper, it can provide protection from waterborne diseases including legionella bacteria.

Inevitably, the global phenomenon that is >B< MaxiPro will feature prominently at InstallerSHOW 2026, with details of a new addition to this award-winning range to be announced. This year marks the 10^th anniversary since the product was first launched in Australia and has gone onto revolutionise pipe jointing in air conditioning and refrigeration applications globally.

Other key ranges on show will include <A> Press Copper, >B< Oyster, >B< Press Inox XL, >B< Press Gas, and Conex Compression.

Conex Bänninger Marketing Manager, Tom Mason commented: “The InstallerSHOW is effectively a great shop window into a market that gets bigger and better each year. As a business, it is vital to showcase your products and there’s nowhere better in the UK than this show to do just that.”

A refreshed stand will feature two large media walls/screens which will be showing a series of videos including a brand new >B< MaxiPro video, the OEM division of Conex Bänninger and footage from last year’s event.

In addition, a stunning new development at Glasswater Locks in Birmingham has just been completed, which includes 312 high-spec apartments with more than 10,000 >B< Press and >B< Press XL fittings from Conex Bänninger used on the project, a video of this will also be screened.

Visitors will have an opportunity to go ‘head-to-head’ in a fun new game called the >B< Oyster shuffle, whilst installers will have another chance to create their own viral copper bottle opener using the company’s acclaimed >B< Press fittings. Giveaways will include branded water bottles and kneeling pads.

Five product clusters will be another stand feature with defined areas for plumbing/heating, multi-disciplinary, specification, ACR and stainless steel.
