Viega introduces new reducer and union fittings

Viega has introduced 12 new reducer and union options for the Viega MegaPress and MegaPressG systems for schedule 5 to schedule 40 carbon steel piping systems in sizes 1/2" to 2".

The Viega MegaPress system uses modern cold press connections for pipe installation and is a good fit for hydronic heat, chilled water, compressed air, fire sprinkler systems, low-pressure steam, and vacuum lines.

The MegaPressG fittings are designed for use in fuel oil and natural gas applications.

The MegaPress and MegaPressG P x P reducers and P x FPT unions are available in ½", ¾", 1", 1¼", 1½" and 2" sizes.

More than 200 Viega MegaPress fittings are available ranging in sizes from 1/2" to 2" that include elbows, couplings, reducers, tees, reducing tees, threaded adapters, caps, flanges, and unions.

The fittings use a stainless steel grip ring with an EPDM sealing element for the Viega MegaPress system, or HNBR for the Viega MegaPressG, along with a stainless steel separator ring that ensures the sealing element and grip ring perform at maximum capacity.

Designed for industrial, commercial, and residential applications, the Viega MegaPress system is easy to use, flameless, and environmentally friendly, making for secure, water-tight and air-tight connections.

The innovative addition to Viega’s product line leaves no joining material build-up, exposed threads, or tarnish, creating a clean, professional appearance while also being FM- and UL-compliant.

The patented Smart Connect feature allows water to flow past an unpressed fitting, providing installers with added confidence in their connections.

Since the Viega MegaPress system is flameless, it is safer than traditional systems and eliminates the need for hot work permits.

The system is clean, requiring no welding rods or cutting oils, and it can be installed under flow conditions, making it ideal for maintenance or emergency repair jobs, thus reducing costly downtime by decreasing plant shutdowns.

Viega’s MegaPress system is FM-compliant for fire sprinkler applications and ASME B31-compliant for pressure and boiler piping and MegaPressG fittings are CSA LC4 compliant for fuel gas and oil applications.

The system meets the most rigorous testing codes and standards in North America and is warranted against defects and workmanship.
