Black-iron pipe joining (NFPA Expo)

The Viega MegaPress system for installing Schedule 10 to Schedule 40 black-iron pipe in sizes 1/2” to 2” received UL certification of compliance for fire-protection applications.

The Viega MegaPress system for installing Schedule 10 to Schedule 40 black-iron pipe in sizes 1/2” to 2” received UL certification of compliance for fire-protection applications. By eliminating traditional threading methods, MegaPress reduces installation time up to 60%. As with all Viega press systems, MegaPress fittings can be prefabricated, producing a straight, clean installation that can be properly pitched back to the supply source. The Smart Connect feature allows installers to verify all prefabbed fittings are pressed before installation. Backed by a written warranty and approved for NFPA 13 and 13R fire sprinkler systems, MegaPress is ideal for industrial applications or commercial projects such as hotels and dormitories. More than 200 fittings are available in sizes from ½” to 2”, including elbows, couplings, reducers, tees, reducing tees, threaded adapters and unions.
