The biggest project Jordan Haugtvedt has worked on lately ended up getting a big helping hand, thanks to Viega ProPress and MegaPress technology.

Pressing technology approved for use on U.S. Navy surface combatants.

Apollo SmartPress is an innovative press system designed for joining 1/2”-2” ASTM A-312 schedule 5/10s stainless steel pipe (304/304L and 316/316L). 

MegaPress, the original carbon steel press fitting from Viega, is certified for mechanical systems, fire protection, gas applications and more. 

After years of rigorous testing, the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has approved the use of MegaPress CuNi mechanically attached fittings in sizes 1/2-inches to 2-inches in surface combatants for a variety of systems, including chilled water, potable water, electronic freshwater cooling, seawater cooling, washdown countermeasures, drainage and many others.

Viega’s MegaPress stainless press fittings provide time savings for industrial fire protection installations, the company notes. 

NIBCO’s PressACR fittings, a joining method designed for use in copper tube systems for air-conditioning and refrigeration applications.
