SPU Stainless Crimping Process
Why Choose Crimping Over Threading or Welding?
When installing stainless steel piping, the method you choose can make or break your project’s efficiency, safety, and long-term reliability. At SPU Stainless, we believe crimping is the clear winner — and we’ve built our CrimpLink press-fit system and professional-grade crimping tools to prove it.
Crimping vs. Threading
Threading Challenges:
- Requires precise cutting of threads, which is time-consuming.
- Weakens the pipe wall, reducing durability under pressure.
- Increases the risk of leaks due to imperfect thread sealing.
- More prone to corrosion where threads are exposed.
Crimping Advantages:
- No pipe weakening — the tube remains structurally strong.
- Quick installation in seconds.
- 100% leak-proof seal with integrated O-rings.
- Smooth internal bore for better flow and less turbulence.
Crimping vs. Welding
Welding Challenges:
- Requires skilled labour and expensive welding equipment.
- Involves open flames and hot work permits — risky in sensitive areas.
- Time-consuming, with long setup and cooling periods.
- Potential for heat damage to surrounding materials.
Crimping Advantages:
- Flame-free and safe in any environment.
- No special permits or ventilation required.
- Much faster — install in minutes, not hours.
- Consistent results every time with our calibrated tools.
