The Gold award in the Components and Accessories category goes to Zoomlock’s Push fittings, which are push-to-connect refrigerant fittings. The robust brass fittings are used to connect copper tubing in refrigeration and air-conditioning systems, and they produce secure, leak-free connections without the use of open flames or special pressing tools.
“ZoomLock Push fittings are easy and fast to install,” said Joseph Freese, product manager, Parker Hannifin. “Connecting copper pipes without a flame provides a safer installation process that saves time and eliminates the need for hot work permits on the job site.”
