EXTON, Pa., July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Omega Flex, Inc., a leading innovator of corrugated tubing, has redesigned the ???ttings for its ???eld-proven
TracPipe®
???exible
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 ???eld, the new ???ttings contain a silicone cover that prevents exposed stainless steel at the ???tting joint and distinct, contractor-friendly features that make installs more intuitive, efficient and consistent. The new ???ttings 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 ???ttings 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.”

Designed for seamless transition and con???dence in use, TracPipe System ???ttings 3/8-in., 1/2-in., 3/4-in. and 1-in. sizes are a direct replacement for existing AutoFlare® ???ttings and follow the same AutoFlare installation process but with more features and a polished appearance.
The TracPipe System ???ttings feature an adaptable ???tting design. As different functions are needed, contractors can easily adapt the base ???tting for termination ???ttings such as wall boxes, steel ???oor ???anges and 90-degree wall stub-outs, providing greater ???exibility across installation types and simplifying product selection and use.

The uni???ed TracPipe System ???ttings platform quickly adapts to different applications, helping contractors streamline installations and deliver consistent, professional-looking outcomes on projects.
The new ???ttings install with standard tools already used in the ???eld 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 ???ttings quickly and con???dently. Additionally, there are complete ???tting assembly videos and installation instructions for both the TracPipe and TracPipe PSII Systems which can be found at

The TracPipe System of ???exible 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 ???ttings will replace AutoFlare ???ttings, which will be available until the end of 2026.
