Instantor will be exhibiting its R-Press range of press fittings for the first time at Ireland’s Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heat Pump Exhibition (IRAC)

Taking place at the Green Isle Hotel in Dublin on the 16 April 2026, the biennial IRAC exhibition aims to bring wholesalers, suppliers and industry professionals together to showcase their products, services and network with colleagues.

On stand A15, Instantor will be demonstrating its range of press fittings that have been designed specifically for ACR applications alongside its ground-breaking new IT2030 Press Tool. Instantor R-Press fittings are designed to provide a safer, faster way to join pipework in high-pressure applications, up to 48 bar, including refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pumps (refrigeration side) and variable flow systems. 

Transitioning to press fittings can be a game-changer for ACR installers, as they are flame-free, which eliminates the need for hot work permits or fire watches and lengthy risk assessments are also reduced. This results in quicker installations, less downtime and safer working conditions, especially in tight spaces. 

Neil Gaffney, Managing Director, Instantor, commented: “We are excited to exhibit at IRAC and to showcase our R-Press fittings, which have been specifically developed for use in ACR applications. 

The range incorporates a precision-engineered 3-point press design for strong, permanent joints that installers can count on. We have had an extremely positive reaction from ACR installers since the launch last year and are looking forward to showing installers the time-saving and money-saving benefits at IRAC 2026. We will also be providing the opportunity to take a look at our new IT2030 press tool which takes reliability to a whole new level.”
