When it comes to fusing together metals or thermoplastics, welding is a common practice. What separates this technique from soldering is that metals are actually melted to form bonds versus simply heating them.
While there are differences between the two methods, there are similarities as well. This is especially true in terms of the challenges that arise with each option.
Whether it’s for renovations, repairs or the installation of new systems, Viega MegaPress® offers significant benefits over welding in terms of time and cost savings.
