Fittings for flexible copper tubing

Wherever you see c2, the connectors are ideal for flexible copper tubing

ISH Frankfurt, 6 – 10 March 2007, hall 6.0, stand B40



The new c2 logo will be presented in its bold, distinctive colour for the ISH 2007. In future, it will identify fittings and matching flexible copper tubes, making it easier for plumbers and wholesalers to select suitable components. The c stands for certified, for the tubes and fittings have been tested by an institute and are bearing a certification mark (e.g. DVGW). It also stands for compatible, because it shows at a glance that the components thus marked are designed to fit together.



The new c2 logo thus simplifies wholesaler´s stock-holding decisions. But not only that. Installers can also see for themselves, accurately and independently, what fittings to choose for a really professional job. The c2 symbol is not an exclusive identifier, but it does serve as a visual aid to orientation. Suitable fittings without the c2 logo will still be available and usable.



Flexible copper tubing with firmly adhering coating will be showcased by several manufacturers at the ISH 2007 in Frankfurt. Under the brand names of Cusmart (Halcor, Athens) and cuprotherm CTX (Wieland, Ulm), the new flexible tubes combine the strength and longevity of copper with easy bendability and low weight. They are suitable for all sanitary, heating and underfloor heating applications.
