Excellence in the making

At Conex Bänninger, we are fully committed to our customer’s expectation of quality-assured, reliable products. Manufacturing at our own facilities helps assure our customers of unrivalled levels of workmanship and safety.

Helping to safeguard our drinking water

Ensuring that products are tested and certified to meet worldwide drinking water regulations for plumbing products is critical. The dedicated foundry at our Polish facility uses only quality assured and certified raw materials with ongoing quality control processes that fully comply with ISO 9001 quality system requirements.

Materials to stand the test of time

Choosing the right materials for a project is dependent on a variety of factors, from speed of installation, functionality, material benefits and reliability. Throughout history, metals have met all these requirements, as well as providing highly durable and dependable solutions that are largely, or in some instances, completely recyclable.

Choosing the right materials

Copper is extremely versatile having so many excellent qualities, including its anti-bacterial properties and resistance to corrosion, making it an important choice in applications like solar energy systems, water distribution and fire sprinkler systems. Stainless steel is corrosion resistant and extremely durable and is particularly suitable for drinking water applications.  Our carbon steel >B< Press fitting is more economical and is ideal for heating systems as well as closed cooling systems and oil-free compressed air systems.

Brass fittings are commonly used in industrial and residential applications because they are strong and durable, with excellent corrosion resistance. Brass pipe fittings are particularly good for use with cold and hot water plumbing and heating installations. DZR brass (dezincification resistant) is designed to stop fittings corroding and zinc leaching in aggressive waters environments and, as a result, fittings are commonly used for use with potable water installations.

Red brass or gunmetal is one of the most durable metals and is classed as immune to dezincification and stress corrosion cracking, which is more common with copper alloys (brasses) with higher zinc content. Some products are made from specialised alloys such as K65, which is extremely strong, and has been specially created for extremely high-pressure applications in refrigeration.
