QuickFitting highlighted its flame-free fitting portfolio, addressing industry data from construction research firm FMI showing construction rework now consumes 12-15% of total North American spend, approximately $31 billion annually. The company's expanded offerings come as municipalities nationwide escalate permit fees and building owners impose stricter open-flame restrictions on construction sites. QuickFitting's current portfolio includes its SurePress press fittings, a line of press fittings with visual confirmation of pressed connections, plus push-to-connect options in lead-free brass and 304 stainless steel. The SurePress system allows contractors to eliminate the use of torches across residential and light commercial installations while providing visual verification of proper connection.

National Fire Protection Association data reveals nearly 4,600 structure fires annually are traced to hot work activities. With labor costs for service plumbers reaching $105/hour nationally, callback prevention has become increasingly critical to contractor profitability. Projects completed with QuickFitting's press and push-connect fittings eliminate those costs while reducing installation time. Reports indicate that contractors using QuickFitting's SurePress fittings with visual indication achieve improved first-time-fix rates compared to traditional methods. Distributors report increased fitting category sales as contractors prioritize callback prevention. QuickFitting's product line addresses growing market demand driven by regulatory changes.
