Instantor plumbing products expand UK distribution through availability across Duftons Plumbing and Heating Supplies branches.
Plumbing and heating installers have wider local access to Instantor press fittings following a distribution partnership with regional independent merchant Duftons Plumbing and Heating Supplies. The expansion adds Instantor's range of press, compression, and heating components to Duftons' existing branch network stock, competing directly with national chains for local trade business.
The addition of Instantor fittings to Duftons' inventory provides plumbers and heating engineers with increased sourcing options across Yorkshire and the wider region. As press-fit technology continues to gain market share over traditional copper soldering due to speed and hot-works safety considerations, securing consistent trade stock across both independent and national merchants remains crucial for installer efficiency.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
Plumbers and heating engineers comparing merchant options can now leverage added competition for press-fit components. Before buying, installers should check that their current press tool profiles match Instantor's jaw specifications, as using incompatible jaw profiles risks invalidating manufacturer warranties and causing joint failure. Having Instantor stocked at Duftons gives local trades an immediate alternative to national outlets like Screwfix or Toolstation, making it easier to compare trade account pricing, batch availability, and bundle deals on press fittings locally.
Check regional merchant trade counters for competitive pricing on Instantor press fittings, and always verify jaw profile compatibility with your existing cordless press tools before committing to a new fitting system on site.
