“With Viega, customers have an entire ecosystem designed to work together seamlessly. Viega products help streamline the installation process, boosting both speed and productivity,” said John Browning, director product management at Viega North America. “Pressing these valves and fittings with one tool saves valuable time and labor costs, all while ensuring that plumbing systems are secure and reliable.”
The new products launched are:
- MegaPress 316 Globe Valves
- ProPress and MegaPress Butterfly Valves
- ProPress and MegaPress Wafer Check Valves
The MegaPress 316 Globe Valve is the first globe valve on the market with IPS press ends and features EPDM or FKM sealing elements. Available 1/2inch to 2 inch, the globe valve provides precise flow regulation where throttling fluids is essential. Model 5185.1 with the EPDM sealing element features NSF-61 approval for potable water systems. For other applications, Model 5985.1 with FKM sealing elements, 316 stainless steel body and components provides corrosion resistance, enhancing the valve’s durability.
The ProPress and MegaPress Butterfly Valves, available in sizes 2 ½-4 inch sizes, completes a system with Viega press technology. These butterfly valves provide reliable flow isolation and control and are NSF-61-rated. Model 2979.8ZL is crafted with a ductile iron body and durable epoxy coating, proving more cost-effective than carbon steel while offering higher pressure and temperature ratings than cast iron. Model 5179.8 features a 316 stainless steel body, providing superior corrosion resistance against even the harshest medium. Both versions are equipped with an EPDM seal.
The ProPress and MegaPress Wafer Check Valves are used to prevent reverse flow. Available in sizes 2 ½″ – 4″, these valves feature a dual-disk design to create a more streamlined flow path, reducing pressure drops and increasing energy efficiency. Models 2974.3XL and 5174XL include an NSF-61 rating, making them the ideal choice for installing potable water systems with ease. Model 5974XL has FKM sealing elements for more demanding applications.
