Gastite’s corrugated stainless-steel tubing (CSST) system can be used for the installation of natural gas and LPG and is approved under BS EN 15266 for corrugated pipework up to DN50 with a maximum working pressure of 500mbar. Suitable for installation within a wide range of construction projects, including residential, commercial, new build and industrial, Gastite® CSST is a safe, economical, and efficient alternative to traditional piping methods, such as copper and steel.

XR2™ fittings
The XR2™ range of fittings have been designed exclusively for use with Gastite® CSST. Featuring a toolless flare design, the patented Jacket-Lock® fitting eliminates exposed stainless steel beyond the nut and the self-guiding assembly ensures a perfectly even flare. The fitting adapter, bushings and nut are all brass and all components are reusable.
