Conex Bänninger introduces compatible Y-joint for >B< MaxiPro installations
C
onex Bänninger revolutionised pipe jointing for air conditioning and refrigeration applications by
introducing its innovative >B< MaxiPro press fit solution to the market. Its latest innovation is >B< Flow - a customised Y-Joint - which is fully compatible with >B< MaxiPro. The male ends of the >B< Flow have
been designed to be fully congruent with >B< MaxiPro, meaning installers will no longer need to adapt ‘Y’ pieces by creating braze tails off-site. Mike Lucken, Technical Sales Manager - ACR for Conex Bänninger, commented: “>B< Flow is an important addition to our product portfolio, offering installers several key features and benefits. It has been designed and stringently tested to deliver an improved and balanced flow inside the >B< Flow joint and, in achieving this, the level of turbulence and noise is reduced. In addition, a guaranteed equal distribution of refrigerant is conveyed through both legs, thereby providing optimum performance. “The >B< Flow, which comes
with pre-moulded insulation, is an assured performer operating with a 3 times safety factor of 48 bar working pressure.” >B< MaxiPro is renowned for being quick and easy to install, thereby significantly improving productivity through greatly reduced installation time. Large commercial installations such as hotels and hospitals, may involve thousands of metres of piping and the resulting cost savings can be considerable. Operating up to 48 bar, the product delivers a reliable, repeatable, permanent, tamper-proof joint every time.

deal Heating Commercial is delighted to have won a coveted BESA award for Training Provider of the Year, which was announced at the BESA Industry Awards 2024 on 17th October at The Brewery, London. This is the first year this specific award has been introduced by BESA, which aims to place a spotlight on the increased need for training and skills. Ideal Heating Commercial has a long history of providing training; recently it
has made a substantial investment in to its Expert Academy training facilities and expanded the type and breadth of its commercial courses, as well as now offering educational CPD seminars which cover the latest industry developments. Ideal Heating Commercial’s range of CPDs are designed to provide customers with
the knowledge they need to successfully specify and design commercial heating systems. CPD seminar attendance has increased dramatically in 2024, delivered nationwide by the Ideal Heating Commercial’s specification team. The company is also working with BESA to make the CPDs available through its online platform Ideal Heating Commercial’s product courses now provide training across its complete range of products, including its latest ECOMOD commercial heat pumps. Although many of these learning opportunities have only recently been introduced, the numbers delivered clearly impressed the judges. Commercial product courses are delivered by dedicated, directly employed Expert Academy training managers – and never subcontractors - whose extensive experience and qualifications across the heating and gas industries provide customers with invaluable insight and technical knowledge. A simple step-by-step approach is taken, incorporating ample opportunity for hands-on learning to ensure all aspects of installing, commissioning, servicing, and fault finding can be dealt with quickly and efficiently. Feedback has shown that this ability to get truly hands-on, interactive training has been key to the success of these courses and has led to repeat bookings and consistent five out of five ratings. Each course can be customised to ensure it meets the needs of individual installation and servicing companies. Training is available through Ideal Heating’s BESA, BPEC and City & Guilds assessment Centres of Excellence at Bridgehead in Hull, Leeds and Dalgety Bay, plus its recently opened centre in Luton. All these premises have been completely refurbished to convert them into state-of-the-art training facilities, with Ideal Heating commercial product displays installed so attendees can get interactive, hands-on training. In addition to dedicated training centres, a special mobile Evomax 2 boiler rig takes training on the UK's number one commercial boiler direct to customers’ sites. Andrew Johnson, Training Director for Groupe Atlantic UK, ROI & NA, of which Ideal Heating Commercial is part of, commented: “We are proud to be recognised by BESA for our training provision with this award.
