Project Ideas
Business
Torch-Free Retrofit Plumbing
Offer a no-solder, no-flame service for occupied buildings, healthcare, schools, and historic properties. Use press fittings on copper and stainless from 1/2 in. to 4 in. to replace valves, risers, and mains without hot work permits, minimizing downtime and risk.
Prefab Handrail and Guardrail Systems
Produce modular stainless handrails with press-fit joints for rapid on-site assembly. Prefab straight runs, corners, and terminations in the shop, then press together on-site for code-compliant installs with a clean architectural finish.
Brewery/Food-Grade Process Piping
Specialize in stainless CTS press systems for breweries, dairies, and commercial kitchens. Rapidly install or reconfigure CIP lines, transfer piping, and utility water without welding, reducing production downtime.
Custom Hydronic Manifold Fabrication
Build and ship copper press manifolds for radiant heating/cooling, snowmelt, and fan coil distribution. Offer quick-turn kits with isolation, purge points, and flow meters, leveraging consistent press joins to ensure reliability.
HOA/Multi-Family Main Upgrades
Provide fast replacements of aging copper mains and meter banks using 2–4 in. CTS press systems. Market a weekend-swap package that limits water shutoff windows and avoids open flame in tight utility rooms.
Creative
Copper + Stainless Modular Furniture
Build coffee tables, bookshelves, and console frames from copper and stainless CTS tubing with press tees and elbows. The even pressing force delivers clean, repeatable joints for squared frames, and the corrosion-resistant jaws let you safely fabricate indoor/outdoor pieces without worrying about tool wear.
Industrial Pipe Lighting
Create pendant lights and chandeliers using copper CTS tubing as conduits and structural arms. Press-fit branches and rings keep everything aligned while avoiding solder heat near wiring. Finish with patina or polish for a high-end loft look.
Stainless Garden Misting Trellis
Assemble a stainless CTS trellis with press tees tapped for misting nozzles to cool patios or greenhouses. The corrosion-resistant stainless and consistent press joins ensure leak-free operation and long outdoor life.
Hydronic Towel Warmer Ladder
Fabricate a ladder-style towel warmer from copper CTS with pressed crossbars. Tie into an existing hydronic loop or use a dedicated low-temp circuit. Evenly distributed pressing force helps prevent leaks at closely spaced rungs.
Outdoor Shower/Rinse Station
Build a freestanding stainless CTS outdoor shower with pressed manifolds for showerhead, hand spray, and foot rinse. The 1/2 in. to 4 in. capacity supports a sturdy frame and multi-outlet manifold without welding or hot work.
