A REVOLUTION FOR FITTING
INSTALLATIONS
Refrigeration and air conditioning installations will never be the
same again – thanks to the Conex Banninger >B< MaxiPro fittings
and the Rothenberger Romax TT pressing tool.
The combination of the fittings and the tool has revolutionised
refrigeration and air conditioning installations. Using the
fittings and together with the tool saves time, money and the
environment.
The >B< MaxiPro fitting
A first of its kind, the >B< MaxiPro fitting has been carefully and
smartly engineered to be able to handle pressure requirements
of the HVAC industry. Unlike fittings in the plumbing industry,
the >B< MaxiPro fittings can accommodate smaller molecules –
making it ideal for the HVAC industry.
Manufactured in Spain, the fittings are available in all copper
sizes for refrigeration and air conditioning up to 1 and 1/8. The full
range included bends, couplers, tees, and end caps. The fitting
provides a secure, permanent leak-proof joint suitable for air
conditioning and refrigeration applications.
As a flame free fitting, the >B< MaxiPro removes the need
for a hot work permit and the risk of fire on site. In addition, the
fittings can be used indoors with minimal safety risks. One of the
aspects that make the >B< MaxiPro stand out is that it is quick and
simple to install and significantly improves productivity through
greatly reduced installation time.
The tool
The >B< MaxiPro press fittings can be used with the customised
Rothenberger Romax Compact TT press. The tool has been
designed to do one press in three seconds, saving up to 70% in
time. This is better than soldering and brazing – which can take up
to a minute and a half to install a fitting. Another unique aspect of
the machine is that, because the machine is pressing the fitting,
between 32 and 34Nm, chances of leakages are close to zero.

The tool uses a hydraulic battery, making it ideal for hard-to-
reach places, which is often the case with refrigeration and air
conditioning installations. As such there is no need for electricity
and long cords. Additionally, as a flame-free fitting, the >B<
MaxiPro removes the need to nitrogen purge systems after
installation, saving time and money.
Using the >B< MaxiPro fittings together with the
Rothenberger pressing tool has numerous benefits including the
reduction of greenhouse gases and carbon emissions. Efficiency
and productivity is improved, and energy consumption is also
reduced. The combination of the fittings and the tool also results
in the reduction of welding and pressure testing errors.
Subject to installation by a certified installer, the >B< MaxiPro
fittings carry a five-year guarantee.
The >B< MaxiPro fittings and Rothenberger pressing tools are
available through FyreFly, the Southern African representative for
Conex Banninger.
