It has been over twenty years since Aquatechnik’s Safety system debuted in the thermo-hydraulic landscape – a truly innovative and revolutionary pipe and fitting jointing system.

The Safety system has, in recent years has gone on to obtain the most important UK, European and International certifications after being rigorously tested by leading bodies of the various certification representatives.

The birth and development of the Safety Project

Why Safety? Because our goal was to create a system with an unrivalled level of absolute security and reliability of performance, eliminating any typicalitys of the pipe/fitting joint:

Hydraulic safety with fluids at any temperature and hydrostatic pressure, safety in processing, safety in the conservation of organoleptic characteristics, safety in the duration of thermal cycles, safety in disassembly and reuse of the elements, and safety in continuous work stress. In short, safety all-around.

The project’s main focus was the conicity of the joint, an ambitious premise but challenging to develop. Adopting the conical joint is a method of transporting fluids already used by many ancient civilizations. It is still used today for its reliability in any situation, even at high temperatures.

With this focus in mind, the first ‘flaring’ tests began on the heads of the multi-layer pipes to verify the maximum allowed extensibility. The difficulty of the project was immediately revealed in all of its phases: from the lack of reliable and comparable data to the choice of materials (the first version in brass and alloy for the body and PPSU for the conical cap), up to the construction details that also required maximum design accuracy.

Only a dynamic company with a strong passion for innovation like Aquatechnik could undertake such an ambitious venture. But our passion pushed and animated every phase of the Safety project, believing that we would create a fitting system that would transform the criticalities of the pipe/fitting joint into its strong point, even in the most extreme uses.

Initially, the acceptance from retailers and installers was not the most gratifying: “Another system to try…other equipment to buy…with multi-layer pipes, press fittings are used.”

But its exclusive technical properties – reliability in all conditions, flow of fluids, ease of installation (even in the most critical areas) and the possibility of disassembly and recovery of fittings without waste – have enabled the Safety system to stand out as an alternative to all the others jointing methods.

Twenty years of Safety success

Today, over twenty years after its debut, the Aquatechnik Safety system has established itself in many countries around the world for its technical characteristics and its versatile use, both in sanitary, heating, air conditioning and even in gas networks for domestic use.

It is the only system approved and certified by the most prestigious Technical Institutes in the world, an excellence that is successfully confirmed every year with an expanding and technologically advanced range of fittings.

On this anniversary, Aquatechnik wishes to thank all those who have contributed to these successful years, starting from the company technical staff to the Resellers and Wholesalers and their Collaborators, to all the Installation Companies, small, medium, large, to Design Studios, Construction and Real Estate Companies, without forgetting anyone: to all of you, our most sincere thanks.
