Viega MegaPress Transition Couplings

Viega has unveiled transition couplings with press technology to join dissimilar materials. MegaPress transition couplings can be used to transition between galvanized or carbon steel pipe and copper, PEX, or stainless steel. They can be utilized in commercial, residential, and industrial applications. All the Viega MegaPress transition couplings are made of zero-lead bronze that can be used to connect dissimilar metals while reducing the risk of galvanic corrosion. The couplings also feature Smart Connect technology to quickly detect and resolve unpressed connections. The couplings with EPDM sealing elements carry an NSF-61 rating for potable water. The company will be offering three products available in ½-inch to 2-inch sizes:

• Viega MegaPress ZL Bronze IPS to CTS Transition Coupling (Model: 4813.4ZL): This transition coupling includes a factory-installed EPDM sealing element and is intended for transitioning between IPS and CTS piping systems, including PEX.
•  Viega MegaPress ZL Bronze IPS Transition Coupling (Model(s): 4815ZL and 5915ZL): These couplings include an option for factory-installed EPDM or FKM sealing elements and are designed for joining carbon steel to stainless steel or galvanized steel to stainless steel.
