Viega LLC introduced Viega MegaPress XL, the first and only press fitting system for 2 ½" to 4" diameter carbon steel pipe. Viega also introduced the Viega MegaPress XL PressBooster, a unique tool designed for larger diameters using an existing 300 Series RIDGID press tool.
Suitable for use with Schedule 10 to Schedule 40 carbon steel pipe, Viega MegaPress XL is approved for more applications than any other carbon steel press fitting system. On average, MegaPress XL makes easy, secure connections in 25 seconds. Compared to welding and other pipe joining methods, Viega MegaPress XL saves up to 60 percent in installation costs and up to 90 percent in time. Unlike welding and threading, Viega MegaPress XL doesn’t require a fire watch, cutting oils and doesn’t create sparks, all while greatly reducing the need for cleanup and callbacks. Viega MegaPress XL features an FKM sealing element that allows it to be installed in higher temperature (up to 284 degrees Fahrenheit) applications.
