Manufacturer

Flair-It Sales

<p>Flair-It Sales has established itself over more than 30 years as a leading manufacturer of compression fitting systems for PEX pipe, polybutylene, and polyvinyl tubing. The company's innovative approach to plumbing connections has made complex installations accessible to both professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts, particularly in residential, recreational vehicle, and marine applications.</p><h3>The Flair-It Advantage: Tool-Less Installation</h3><p>What sets Flair-It Sales apart in the competitive plumbing fittings market is their patented tool-less design philosophy. The patented design consists of a nut and flared insert and requires no tools, eliminating the need for expensive crimping equipment or calibration procedures. These fittings are constructed of durable Polyoxmethylene (POM) and are compatible with PEX tubing, with the patented design requiring no tools. This "push it in, screw it down" methodology simplifies installation while maintaining the integrity and reliability professional applications demand.</p><h3>Comprehensive Product Range</h3><p>The fittings are approved for residential and recreational use and are offered in more than 250 variations, in 3/8", ½" and ¾", from valves for PEX to specialty fittings for poly tubing. This extensive catalog ensures that installers can find the exact configuration needed for any plumbing project, whether it's a complete home re-pipe, an RV fresh water system upgrade, or marine plumbing repairs. The company has expanded their offerings to include the PEXLock system, which features a patented plastic clamp that installs with a pair of pliers and can be removed with a screwdriver, with clamps that are NSF- and CSA-approved for potable water and radiant heat.</p><h3>Built for Reliability</h3><p>Flair-It fittings deliver practical performance where it counts. The fitting inserts into the inside of the tubing as well as a nut that is on the outside of the tubing, tightening creates a bond that can withstand up to 90 pounds of pressure. This compression-style connection creates a secure, leak-free seal without the need for plumber's tape or complicated procedures. The all-plastic construction resists corrosion and stands up to the vibration and movement common in mobile applications like RVs and boats.</p><h3>Versatility Across Applications</h3><p>While Flair-It Sales initially gained recognition in the mobile home and RV markets, their fitting systems have proven equally valuable in residential plumbing, radiant heating installations, and water distribution projects. The ability to work with multiple tubing types—including modern PEX, legacy polybutylene systems, and flexible polyvinyl tubing—makes Flair-It fittings an excellent choice for retrofit and repair situations. The reusable nature of the fittings allows for easy modifications and adjustments during installation, a feature particularly appreciated during complex plumbing runs in tight spaces.</p><h3>Trusted Performance</h3><p>No other plumbing fitting in the US can boast of its simplicity, practicality and integrity like Flair-It—it just works. For professionals seeking efficient installation methods and homeowners tackling their own plumbing projects, Flair-It Sales provides a proven solution that balances ease of use with dependable, long-lasting performance. Whether you're upgrading an aging water system or building new, Flair-It's decades of field experience and continuous product innovation make them a reliable partner for any plumbing challenge.</p>
