Eco-friendly push-fit water fittings from Parker

When choosing push-fit water fittings for any type of water-based application, you want to be absolutely certain that your fittings will not only deliver leak-free performance but will do so without any danger of contaminating the end product. Parker LIQUIfit fittings deliver massively on both counts, with patented sealing technology and a sustainable plant-sourced polymer construction that is as clean as it is green. Read on to find out more.

Parker push-fit pipe fittings offer an intuitive method of connecting tubes to a fitting. Not only do they score highly for improving machine efficiency but they are also incredibly easy to install, offer unbeatable leak-free performance and – in the case of their LIQUIfit push-to-connect water fittings especially – are thoughtfully designed using genuinely eco-friendly, sustainable materials.

Parker LIQUIfit fittings from Fluid Controls are purer than pure, in every sense!
