>B< MaxiPro: Revolutionizing ACR Installation
Since its launch in 2017, >B< MaxiPro has redefined pipe-jointing practices within air-conditioning and refrigeration applications. Engineered as a flame-free alternative to brazing, which mitigates on-site fire risks, >B< MaxiPro significantly speeds up installation.

The range has steadily expanded in recent years, supporting growing demand for larger-scale cooling installations. Today, >B< MaxiPro is available from ¼” up to the newest addition, 2 1/8″, enabling contractors to complete an even broader scope of high-capacity ACR projects using the same trusted press technology.

With its quick, simple press-to-connect operation, >B< MaxiPro delivers a secure and permanent joint that enhances system integrity without compromising productivity.

>B< Press: The Installer’s Versatile Everyday Solution
For installers seeking a dependable, multi-application system, >B< Press remains one of the most widely adopted solutions in the Conex Bänninger portfolio. The system’s versatility makes it ideal for heating, hot and cold water, and gas installations – offering a reliable, leak-proof connection that stands up to demanding building environments.

By replacing open-flame methods with a clean, press-fit approach, >B< Press not only accelerates installation but also simplifies compliance, helping engineers deliver projects on time, safely and with confidence.

>B< Flow – the customised Y-Joint
Fully compatible with >B< MaxiPro, >B< Flow provides installers with several key advantages. It is designed and rigorously tested to ensure improved, balanced flow within the joint, reducing turbulence and noise. It also guarantees equal refrigerant distribution through both legs for optimum system performance.

The male ends are fully congruent with >B< MaxiPro, eliminating the need to adapt “Y” pieces or create braze tails off-site. Supplied with pre-molded insulation, >B< Flow delivers reliable performance with a three-times safety factor at a 700 PSI working pressure.

>B< Steel: High-Performance Carbon Steel Press Technology for Industry
Enhancing the company’s offering for industrial and commercial applications, >B< Steel provides a robust, flame-free press solution specifically engineered for carbon steel pipework. Suitable for systems carrying non-drinking water, heating water, and gas. >B< Steel fittings are available from ½” to 2″ and are designed to withstand the pressures and demands of high-performance installations.

The >B< Steel range enables fast, consistent and secure connections – reducing downtime, minimizing risk, and supporting cleaner, safer site environments.
