QuickFitting Partners with Ace Hardware to Bring SurePress Fittings to Stores and Online

QuickFitting, a leading innovator in flame-free plumbing and HVAC solutions, announced a new retail partnership with Ace Hardware, the world’s largest retailer-owned hardware cooperative. As part of this partnership, SurePress has secured placement in Ace’s Discovery Edge plumbing copper fittings planogram, marking its official debut at the Ace Spring 2026 Convention, February 24–26.

Ace’s Retail Support Centers are now stocking 60 core SKUs from QuickFitting’s SurePress line, enabling more than 5,100 U.S. Ace stores to place immediate warehouse orders. In addition to the warehouse assortment, Ace dealers will have access to drop-ship QuickFitting’s full flame-free portfolio, including HVAC Push-to-Connect, Plumbing Push-to-Connect (Stainless Steel and Brass) and additional SurePress SKUs.

“Partnering with Ace Hardware marks the SurePress line’s first major entry into the retail hardware channel,” said Katie Zyra, Director of Marketing & Product Development at QuickFitting. “SurePress fittings are already on shelves at more than 595 Ace locations, with additional stores expected to come on board after the February tradeshow. Plumbers and facility managers can now access our patented SurePress fittings, featuring built-in visual indication that provides added confidence on every install, at the neighborhood store they know and trust.”

Founded in 1924 and headquartered in Oak Brook, Illinois, Ace Hardware operates the largest non-grocery retail cooperative in the United States, with 17 domestic distribution centers and more than 5,100 U.S. stores that are locally owned and operated. Including international locations, the cooperative spans over 5,700 stores in roughly 60 countries.
