EXTON, Pa., July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Omega Flex, Inc., a leading innovator of corrugated tubing, has redesigned the \ufb01ttings for its \ufb01eld-proven\u00a0TracPipe\u00ae<\/u> \ufb02exible<\/u> gas<\/u> piping<\/u> system<\/u><\/a> for greater utility and ease on the job, providing contractors with a better installation experience.<\/p>\n Re-engineered based on feedback from the \ufb01eld, the new \ufb01ttings contain a silicone cover that prevents exposed stainless steel at the \ufb01tting joint and distinct, contractor-friendly features that make installs more intuitive, efficient and consistent. The new \ufb01ttings come in sizes 3\/8-inch (in.) up to 2 in. for both the TracPipe and TracPipe PSII Systems and are suitable for natural gas and propane installations in single and multi-family residential, as well as commercial and industrial building applications.<\/p>\n \u201cGas piping systems that make jobs more efficient give contractors a distinct advantage over the competition,\u201d said Brian Breitinger, Engineering Manager at Omega Flex. \u201cWe re-engineered our \ufb01ttings to provide a simpler, more versatile installation experience, and to further enhance the safety and performance of the TracPipe System that contractors know and trust.\u201d<\/p>\n 3\/8<\/strong> \u2013<\/strong> 1<\/strong> in.<\/strong> TracPipe<\/strong> System<\/strong> and<\/strong> PSII<\/strong> \ufb01ttings:<\/strong> Proven<\/strong> performance,<\/strong> thoughtfully<\/strong> re\ufb01ned<\/strong><\/p>\n Designed for seamless transition and con\ufb01dence in use, TracPipe System \ufb01ttings 3\/8-in., 1\/2-in., 3\/4-in. and 1-in. sizes are a direct replacement for existing AutoFlare\u00ae \ufb01ttings and follow the same AutoFlare installation process but with more features and a polished appearance.<\/p>\n The TracPipe System \ufb01ttings feature an adaptable \ufb01tting design. As different functions are needed, contractors can easily adapt the base \ufb01tting for termination \ufb01ttings such as wall boxes, steel \ufb02oor \ufb02anges and 90-degree wall stub-outs, providing greater \ufb02exibility across installation types and simplifying product selection and use.<\/p>\n 1-1\/4<\/strong> \u2013<\/strong> 2<\/strong> in.<\/strong> TracPipe<\/strong> System<\/strong> and<\/strong> PSII<\/strong> \ufb01ttings:<\/strong> Greater<\/strong> ease,<\/strong> bigger<\/strong> impact<\/strong><\/p>\n Compared to legacy \ufb01ttings, the re-engineered TracPipe \ufb01ttings sizes 1-1\/4-in., 1-1\/2-in. and 2-in. are signi\ufb01cantly easier to install, with a four-bolt design that requires less torque and<\/p>\n reduces physical effort. These larger sized \ufb01ttings support both everyday installs to bigger commercial projects. Fitting swivel technology relieves hose torsion for easier application.<\/p>\n These \ufb01ttings also have an adaptable design allowing for greater \ufb02exibility across\u00a0applications.<\/p>\n A<\/strong> simpler,<\/strong> more<\/strong> versatile<\/strong> CSST<\/strong> system<\/strong><\/p>\n The uni\ufb01ed TracPipe System \ufb01ttings platform quickly adapts to different applications, helping contractors streamline installations and deliver consistent, professional-looking outcomes on projects.<\/p>\n The new \ufb01ttings install with standard tools already used in the \ufb01eld and deliver reliable, consistent sealing and a fast, straightforward installation process. They easily attach to traditional black iron pipe systems and direct connections to gas appliances.<\/p>\n Omega Flex offers free training to ensure installers have the knowledge needed to install the new \ufb01ttings quickly and con\ufb01dently. Additionally, there are complete \ufb01tting assembly videos and installation instructions for both the TracPipe and TracPipe PSII Systems which can be found at TracPipe.com<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n The TracPipe System of \ufb02exible corrugated, semi-rigid stainless-steel tubing (CSST) is available in both the TracPipe AP and underground PSII systems. All TracPipe System CSST products are listed by CSA under the ANSI LC 1 Standard and are approved for use throughout the U.S. and Canada. The re-engineered TracPipe \ufb01ttings will replace AutoFlare \ufb01ttings, which will be available until the end of 2026.<\/p>\n
