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

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.

during pressure testing when water or air flows past the sealing element.

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.
