Bravopress is the press fitting system made of technopolymer (PPSU), a plastic material with excellent mechanical and corrosion resistance.
It is combined with Pexal and Mixal multilayer pipes and Thermoline, and can be used for water supply, heating, cooling and industrial installations.
ADVANTAGES OF
BRAVOPRESS
NO OXIDATION
Complete lack of oxidisation or corrosion.
MULTI-PRESS PROFILE
Compatible with a broad range of pressing profiles (H, TH, U, C).
SUITABLE FOR DRINKING WATER
Bravopress press fittings are certified for the transportation of drinking water.
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
Chemical resistance to the main substances dissolved in water, constantly in contact with pipes and fittings. Excellent resistance to legionella treatment with hypochlorite.
WIDE RANGE
Bravopress fittings are available in a wide range of diameters, from 16 to 63 mm.
EXTREMELY LIGHT
Construction in technopolymer makes Bravopress fittings extremely light.
UNPRESSED LEAKING
Leak signalling during system test in the case of non pressed fittings on diameters from 16 mm to 32 mm (for pressures between 0.5 and 2 bar).
SIMPLIFIED ASSEMBLY
Better control of the pipe insertion on the fitting thanks to the transparent bottom ring and inspection holes on the bushing.
An environmentally sustainable solution
The Bravopress fittings are manufactured from fully recyclable materials that can be reused at the end of the product life. The manufacturing processes employed are also energy-efficient and have a reduced ecological impact.
In fact, Valsir embraces Green Building principles, with a view to respecting the environment and preserving natural resources.
We wanted to make available the EPD declarations certifying the environmental impact related to the production of the water supply systems consisting of the Pexal multilayer pipes and the Pexalbrass, Bravopress and Pexal Easy fitting systems according to the complete LCA analysis, i.e. 'cradle-to-grave'.
To reach this figure, we monitored and optimised not only the production phases, but considered the product life cycle in its entirety: today we can say that Bravopress is a 'champion of sustainability', from the extraction of raw materials to the disposal of the product itself.

Quick and easy installation
Bravopress is a fitting system that combines the outstanding mechanical properties of polyphenylsulphone with the advantages of a pressed joint of the steel sleeve.
As with the brass press fittings, the Bravopress fittings have been designed to reduce installation times by using a portable pressing machine equipped with specific pressing jaws.
Multi-press
The Valsir press fittings, both in brass and in technopolymer, are termed “multipress” as they can be used with the various pressing profiles most widely used in the market.
This is an important advantage: the installer can use the Pexal Brass and Bravopress multipress fittings produced by Valsir, regardless of the type of tool they possess.
Polyphenylsulfone
Polyphenylsufone (PPSU) is a technopolymer that provides exceptional mechanical performance, used mainly in automotive applications, in the aerospace and medical industry, and which in recent years is now widely used in the plumbing industry.
This material is characterised by high mechanical strength - even at high temperatures - and resistance to major chemical compounds.
The mechanical properties such as tensile strength, modulus of elasticity and resistance to ageing, are far superior to those of normal polymers.
Tools
Reliability, durability and quality are the characteristics that distinguish the range of Valsir tools used in the installation of the Bravopress fittings; these products were designed taking in consideration the suggestions of our most trusted installers and made with only top quality materials.
Pressing machines up to a diameter of 110 mm, belling machines up to a diameter of 75 mm, pipe cutters, multi-diameter countersinks, and systems for manual or mechanical bending of pipes are just some of the equipment that complements and completes the entire range.
