What Makes Viega Different?

Viega press fitting systems are built to last. The fittings are secured with stainless steel grip rings that use over 5,000 pounds of force and include a separator ring and sealing element outside the flow path to increase the system’s lifespan. They can withstand a broad range of pressures, temperatures, and applications. Viega fitting systems deliver unrivaled consistency, press-after-press.

Our industrial pipe fittings have been subjected to rigorous quality and performance testing, including burst, vibration, fire, and seismic. As a result, Viega press systems have earned numerous certifications from governing bodies across the U.S. and abroad.

Benefits of Viega Pipe Pressing Technology

With Viega press fittings, installation, repair and maintenance jobs can be completed in less time than with other joining methods.

  • Reduce Downtime – Unplanned downtime can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars an hour. Viega pipe fittings can reduce install time by up to 90%.
  • Eliminate Hot Work – Soldering and welding equipment is responsible for nearly 1,200 fires, costing $150 million in property damage. Viega press fittings require no open flames or hot work permits, eliminating the need for a fire watch.
  • Faster, Consistent Connections – A simple 11 joint assembly takes just under 11 minutes to press. Compared to more than two-and-a-half hours of welding, Viega products can be pressed wet or dry, making secure connections in seconds.
  • Reliable + Quality Installation – Unlike groove or threaded pipe connections that reduce pipe wall thickness, Viega fittings preserve pipe integrity and come factory assembled for maximum consistency and performance in the field.
