Up to 60% faster installation
PRESS in 5 days what a welder can do in 12
Stainless steel press and grooved system of fittings and pipes 15-323 mm. Up to 3x cheaper joint compared to welding.
Why installation companies switch to TAVINOX
One quality of AISI 316L fittings - fewer mix-ups on site. One material, one supplier, fewer variants.
- Installation speed: Press-fitting is up to 60% faster than welding. On large projects this means saving entire weeks.
- Project value: AISI 316L is the premium standard. Lifetime 50+ years. Corrosion resistance. Increases property attractiveness and value.
- Risk elimination: No fire risk. Double detection of unpressed joints including LEAK-DETECT system. Minimum complaints.
- Lower labour cost: A regular installer can press-fit after 2 hours of training. No welders needed. Multiple workers can press simultaneously.
- Complete range: Solutions from main runs to end connections (15-323 mm). One supplier for everything.
- Guarantees: Liability insurance CZK 50M, fast dispatch from stock in the Czech Republic, 5-year warranty (8 years when the system is installed by an installer trained in the TAVINOX online training).

How press-fitting saved 4M CZK and completed MEP 3 months early
Case studyComparison of joining methods up to 54mm
Based on experience, data and our own measurements. Comparison across 6 dimensions (15-54 mm).

Economic impact up to 54 mm and the potential of freed-up capacity
In summary: up to DN 50, pressing is cheaper than welded steel. From larger diameters upwards, however, pressing proves to be more expensive. Our reasoning is that large diameters are far less frequent on site, so the saving on the smaller sizes feeds through to the project as a whole.

The effects of welding on human health
Did you know that the IARC classifies welding fumes as Group 1 (a proven carcinogen)?
TAVINOX – press joints without welding.
- No welding aerosols are produced when making a joint
- The fire risk is significantly reduced
TAVINOX helps MEP (building services) installation companies reduce exposure to welding fumes and makes it easier to meet health and safety requirements on site.
Start press-fitting Tavinox up to 54 mm from 46,830 CZK excl. VAT
Welding is not just tools - it is qualifications, regular recertification and a higher H&S regime on site. Don't wait for welders or paperwork.
With Tavinox press-fitting your regular installer can work immediately after brief training:
- No welding certificates: 2 hours of training is enough
- Anyone can press-fit: quickly train multiple installers
- Low barrier to entry: 1 kit = complete start 15-54 mm
- Faster installation: measured on real projects
- Fewer risks and errors: stable process, lower inspection requirements
Tools for dimensions **up to 54 mm**. Covers most MEP installations. From **46,830 CZK** excl. VAT
