Copper Fittings
Copper fittings remain one of the most trusted and widely used plumbing solutions in Australia. Known for their durability, corrosion resistance, and long service life, copper fittings are ideal for both hot and cold water applications.
At Burdens Trade, our copper fittings range includes:
-
Elbows (90° and 45°)
-
Tees
-
Couplings
-
Reducers
-
Caps and adaptors
Copper fittings are perfect for traditional soldered systems, offering strong, permanent connections that stand the test of time. They are commonly used in domestic water services, hydronic heating systems, and commercial plumbing projects.
Why choose copper fittings?
-
Proven long-term performance
-
Excellent temperature resistance
-
Suitable for potable water
-
Reliable in high-pressure systems
For plumbers who prefer tried-and-tested methods, copper fittings remain a go-to choice.
Copper Press Fittings (Water)
For faster installations without the need for open flames, copper press fittings have become increasingly popular across residential and commercial plumbing projects. Designed for use with press tools, these fittings allow you to create secure, leak-proof connections in seconds.
Our copper press fittings for water applications provide:
-
Quick, flame-free installation
-
Consistent, reliable seals
-
Reduced installation time
-
Increased site safety
Copper press systems are ideal for time-sensitive jobs, renovations, and commercial environments where hot works permits may be restricted. With high performance under pressure and temperature variations, they offer the strength of copper with modern efficiency.
If you’re looking to improve productivity without compromising quality, copper press fittings are a smart investment.
Poly Metric Fittings
Poly metric fittings are designed for use with polyethylene (PE) pipe systems, commonly used in water supply, irrigation, and rural plumbing applications. These fittings provide strong, reliable connections in cold water and pressure systems.
Available in various sizes and configurations, poly metric fittings are ideal for:
-
Underground water services
-
Irrigation systems
-
Rural and agricultural plumbing
-
Water mains connections
Poly fittings are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to handle on-site. Their flexibility makes them well-suited to installations where ground movement or vibration may occur.
At Burdens Trade, we stock a wide range of metric poly fittings to ensure compatibility with Australian plumbing standards and common PE pipe sizes.
Screwed Poly Fittings
Screwed poly fittings offer a versatile solution for threaded connections within polyethylene pipe systems. These fittings are ideal when transitioning between materials or connecting to threaded components such as valves, pumps, and taps.
Common applications include:
-
Irrigation setups
-
Tank installations
-
Rural water supply systems
-
Pump connections
Screwed poly fittings are designed for durability in outdoor and underground environments. Their threaded design allows for easy disassembly and maintenance when required, making them a practical solution for serviceable systems.
With strong sealing performance and resistance to corrosion, they’re an essential part of many plumbing and water management projects.
Compression Fittings
Compression fittings are widely used for their simplicity and reliability. These fittings create a secure seal by compressing a ring (olive) between the fitting and the pipe, eliminating the need for soldering or specialised tools.
At Burdens Trade, our compression fittings are suitable for:
-
Copper pipe systems
-
Repairs and maintenance jobs
-
Tight access areas
-
Quick installations
Benefits of compression fittings include:
-
Easy installation
-
No heat required
-
Strong mechanical seal
-
Suitable for both hot and cold water
Compression fittings are particularly useful for repair work or situations where open flames are not practical. They’re a staple in every plumber’s toolkit.
SharkBite Push-Fit Fittings
