Project Ideas
Business
Rapid Retrofit Valve & Fixture Swaps
Offer a mobile service replacing old sweat/threaded valves, PRVs, and sections of copper/stainless with press fittings for minimal downtime. The compact 1-1/4 in. jaw lets you handle larger CTS mains and step down to smaller branches via reducers, all without torches in finished spaces.
Prefab Manifolds and Skids
Fabricate off-site copper/stainless CTS headers, pump skids, and mechanical-room manifolds using press fittings for consistency and speed. Deliver labeled, pressure-tested assemblies that installers can drop in and connect, reducing on-site labor and schedule risk.
24/7 Leak Response (No-Hot-Work)
Launch an emergency leak-repair service specializing in wet-repair compatible press systems. Quickly cut out failed sections and press in couplings/elbows on copper or stainless, avoiding hot-work permits and accelerating building re-open times.
Brewery/Kitchen Utility Upgrades
Target breweries, distilleries, and commercial kitchens to install stainless CTS press lines for hot water, tempered water, and CIP/utility runs. Press technology delivers sanitary, fast installs with clean aesthetics, ideal for production spaces with limited shutdown windows.
Copper Furniture & Décor Line
Develop a product line—shelving, bar carts, towel warmers, and plant stands—built with pressed copper frames for a premium, solder-free look. Market the durability and precision of press-made joints and offer custom sizing for designers and homeowners.
Creative
Copper + Wood Bookshelf Frame
Build an industrial-modern bookshelf using 1-1/4 in. copper tube and press elbows/tees for the frame, paired with hardwood shelves. The press jaw delivers clean, repeatable joints without soldering, speeding assembly and keeping finishes pristine. Use reducing tees/couplings to transition to smaller crossbars where needed.
Outdoor Stainless Shower Column
Create a sleek outdoor shower using stainless CTS tube and press fittings for the riser, mixing section, and head arm. Pressed connections resist corrosion and avoid hot-work permits near siding or decking. Tie into existing supply lines with press adapters and mount the column to a cedar or composite backboard.
Wall-Mounted Plant Irrigation Manifold
Design a decorative copper header with press tees that reduces down to small drip lines for a living wall or shelf garden. The 1-1/4 in. header provides visual impact while reducers feed 1/2 in. branches to valves/drippers. Pressed joints keep the layout tidy and leak-tight for indoor use.
Patio Misting and Cooling Rail
Assemble a patio misting system with a 1-1/4 in. copper or stainless main rail, pressing in tees with reducers to nozzle stubs. The even force of the compact press jaw helps ensure consistent seals over a long run, and the corrosion-resistant materials stand up outdoors.
Copper Lighting Sculpture
Create a statement floor or pendant lamp using pressed copper frames and arms. Route low-voltage wiring through the tubing and use press couplings/elbows for a clean, solder-free build. Finish with patina or clear coat to showcase the copper aesthetic.
