Omega Flex Re-Engineers Flexible Gas Piping Fittings for Superior Installation Experience

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

Designed for real-world jobsite conditions, new fittings for TracPipe corrugated stainless steel tubing systems make installations more intuitive, efficient and consistent for contractors

EXTON, Pa., July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Omega Flex, Inc., a leading innovator of corrugated tubing, has redesigned the fittings for its field-proven TracPipe® flexible gas piping system for greater utility and ease on the job, providing contractors with a better installation experience.

Re-engineered based on feedback from the field, the new fittings contain a silicone cover that prevents exposed stainless steel at the fitting joint and distinct, contractor-friendly features that make installs more intuitive, efficient and consistent. The new fittings 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.

“Gas piping systems that make jobs more efficient give contractors a distinct advantage over the competition,” said Brian Breitinger, Engineering Manager at Omega Flex. “We re-engineered our fittings 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.”

3/8 – 1 in. TracPipe System and PSII fittings: Proven performance, thoughtfully refined

Designed for seamless transition and confidence in use, TracPipe System fittings 3/8-in., 1/2-in., 3/4-in. and 1-in. sizes are a direct replacement for existing AutoFlare® fittings and follow the same AutoFlare installation process but with more features and a polished appearance.

The TracPipe System fittings feature an adaptable fitting design. As different functions are needed, contractors can easily adapt the base fitting for termination fittings such as wall boxes, steel floor flanges and 90-degree wall stub-outs, providing greater flexibility across installation types and simplifying product selection and use.

1-1/4 – 2 in. TracPipe System and PSII fittings: Greater ease, bigger impact

Compared to legacy fittings, the re-engineered TracPipe fittings sizes 1-1/4-in., 1-1/2-in. and 2-in. are significantly easier to install, with a four-bolt design that requires less torque and

reduces physical effort. These larger sized fittings support both everyday installs to bigger commercial projects. Fitting swivel technology relieves hose torsion for easier application.

These fittings also have an adaptable design allowing for greater flexibility across applications.

A simpler, more versatile CSST system

The unified TracPipe System fittings platform quickly adapts to different applications, helping contractors streamline installations and deliver consistent, professional-looking outcomes on projects.

The new fittings install with standard tools already used in the field 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.

Omega Flex offers free training to ensure installers have the knowledge needed to install the new fittings quickly and confidently. Additionally, there are complete fitting assembly videos and installation instructions for both the TracPipe and TracPipe PSII Systems which can be found at TracPipe.com.

The TracPipe System of flexible 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 fittings will replace AutoFlare fittings, which will be available until the end of 2026.
