Viega, the leader in press fitting technology, is introducing MegaPress Stainless XL® fittings for 2.5”, 3” and 4” pipe. The new fittings join the current MegaPress Stainless offerings of 0.5”, 0.75”, 1”, 1.15” and 2” fittings to create a comprehensive lineup for a broad variety of applications, including maintenance and repair.
Designed for Iron Pipe Size (IPS) stainless steel, the new line of MegaPress Stainless XL fittings makes secure connections in seconds, which helps keep a project on time or ahead of schedule. They reduce installation time by up to 90 percent compared to traditional methods of connecting pipe.
Combining productivity with peace of mind, MegaPress Stainless XL fittings are equipped with the patented Viega Smart Connect® technology, which allows installers to easily identify unpressed connections during pressure testing. And MegaPress Stainless XL fittings offer the same proven quality and durability as all Viega products, bringing complete confidence to every job.
“Since Viega introduced MegaPress Stainless fittings in 2017, customers have been asking for them in larger sizes,” said Dominic Küng, Viega Product Manager for Metals. “The new XL fittings will allow customers to experience the time savings and quality of stainless steel pressing on an even greater number and variety of jobs.”
MegaPress Stainless XL fittings are available in 304 and 316 stainless steel. They also are approved for use with Schedule 10 and Schedule 40 pipe.
