Viega MegaPress Systems
The g loba l leaderin p lumbing, heat ing
and p ipe jo in ing systems
Viega’s heritage of innovation began
in Attendorn, Germany, in 1899 when
Franz-Anselm Viegener introduced
a new brass beer tap. By 1901,
Viegener’s family company had
evolved and begun to manufacture
home plumbing products, giving
birth to Viega’s international legacy
of quality, ingenuity
and efficiency.
Real quality comes from innovation,
not imitation. With more than
112 years of
experience
in innovative
thinking, Viega offers
our customers
trustworthy products,
reliable service and
proven quality. Customers trust
Viega because our systems have
proven themselves over and over
again. Viega ProPress, the
original press fitting system,
revolutionized pipe joining in
1989. Now, over one million
Viega ProPress fittings are installed
every day. We were the first to
introduce press technology.
Viega leads and our competition
follows. And now
Viega is proud to
present the new
Viega MegaPress
black steel pipe line of fittings,
providing the same reliability and
quality as all our other products.
Viega MegaPress is the newest
innovation in pipe joining from
Viega, combining reliability and
speed to complete any project
quickly and efficiently while reducing
A heritage of better ideas since 1899

Viega is the original press technology provider, offering press
joining solutions since the 1980s in copper and stainless steel.
Now, Viega offers our revolutionary press technology in the first
black steel press pipe joining system.
Viega MegaPress is a black steel pipe joining method that reduces
installation time and provides a clean, safe, reliable connection every
time. Viega MegaPress fittings have the genuine Viega Smart Connect
feature that allows the installer to easily detect unpressed fittings
during testing. Viega MegaPress makes it possible to join black steel
pipe without compromising the integrity of the pipe.
Viega MegaPress is a cold press joining method available in IPS sizes
1/2" to 2" and can be utilized with ASTM A53 Schedule 5 to Schedule
40 black steel pipe.
Viega MegaPress, with an EPDM sealing element, can be installed in
systems such as compressed air, hydronic heating, fire protection and
chilled water.
Viega MegaPressG, with an HNBR sealing element, is suitable for
Schedule 40 fuel oil, natural gas and LP gas installations.
Installing Viega MegaPress joining systems:
• Saves time – 30 percent to 60 percent
• Simplifies cleanup – no oil or metal shavings
• Provides security – join pipe consistently with no manual tightening
• Reduces installation costs – less labor and downtime
• Promotes safety – no fire watches or burn permits

Only Viega fittings offer the patented Smart Connect feature
Look for the colored dots.
Unpressed Pressed
Viega’s Smart Connect feature
allows water or air to leak past the
sealing element in an unpressed
fitting, clearly indicating a missed
connection. Since installers can
easily see if all connections have
been made during pressure
testing, the Smart Connect feature
helps save vast amounts of time
during installation. Look for the
colored dots because the genuine
Smart Connect feature is only
available on Viega fittings.
3 ProPress connections are fast,
flameless and reliable.2 Upon
identification, use the press
tool to press the fitting, making a permanent leak-proof connection.

Viega Sealing Elements
EPDM Sealing Element
The black EPDM (ethylene-
propylene-dienemonomer)
sealing element is a synthetically
manufactured and peroxidically
cross-linked general purpose
elastomer with a wide range of
applications, including hydronic
heating, low-pressure steam, fire
protection and compressed air.
HNBR Sealing Element
The yellow HNBR (hydrogenated
nitrile butadiene rubber) sealing
element is used mainly in
fuel oil and gas applications,
such as natural gas, propane,
mixed and manufactured gases
in the vapor state.
