Project Ideas
Business
No-Flame Retrofit Plumbing Service
Offer a mobile service specializing in copper and stainless press-fit retrofits for schools, hospitals, and occupied buildings. Market the benefits: faster installs, minimal downtime, and no hot-work permits. Focus on 2–4 in. mains where press saves the most labor.
Prefab Hydronic Manifolds & Skids
Build and ship pre-pressed manifolds, pump skids, and riser assemblies for mechanical contractors. Provide CAD submittals, pressure test certificates, and color-coded ports. Onsite crews simply anchor, connect, and go—reducing field time and change orders.
Brewery/Dairy Stainless Piping Installs
Niche into sanitary-friendly stainless press systems for craft breweries and small dairies. Offer rapid weekend changeovers with documented pressure tests, drainability pitches, and clean-in-place compatibility, where code and fittings are approved.
Emergency Large-Diameter Leak Response
Launch a 24/7 rapid-response service equipped for 3–4 in. press repairs on domestic water and hydronic lines. Stock common press fittings, couplings, and reducers to restore service within hours, and upsell permanent replacement during scheduled downtime.
Premium Copper Fixtures Product Line
Manufacture and sell high-end copper home accents—handrails, towel warmers, planters, and minimalist shelving—built with press joints for clean aesthetics and durability. Sell direct-to-consumer with made-to-order sizing and installation kits.
Creative
Copper Water Wall Fountain
Design a wall-mounted fountain using 1-1/2 in. to 2 in. copper tube pressed into a top distribution manifold and a bottom return. The even force distribution of the press ring ensures drip-free joints behind finished surfaces, and the corrosion-resistant finish helps maintain a clean look indoors or on a covered patio.
Rainwater Harvesting Header
Build a 3 in. to 4 in. stainless or copper main header that splits into multiple 1 in. branches feeding storage barrels. Press tees, reducers, and unions let you create a compact, serviceable manifold without soldering near structures, ideal for tight sheds or eave spaces.
Garden Irrigation Sculpture
Create a functional art piece: sweeping arcs of copper tube feed drip or mist nozzles from a concealed stainless press manifold. The pressed connections keep it watertight while the tubing doubles as the sculpture’s frame for a dramatic, living installation.
Homebrew/Glycol Chiller Manifold
Assemble a stainless press manifold with valves and quick-disconnects to distribute chilled glycol or cooling water to multiple fermenters. Pressing delivers consistent, sanitary-friendly joints and simplifies cleaning and future expansion.
Modern Copper Towel Rack & Rail Set
Fabricate a premium bathroom accessory set with copper tube rails and pressed end-caps/flanges for a seamless, flame-free finish. Use press unions for hidden disassembly points so pieces can be polished or reconfigured without cutting.
