The Viega Valves Difference

Choosing Viega valves means only needing one tool to install every component of
the system, thus enhancing efficiency and consistency in every connection. Each valve is
tested against the harshest standards, delivering the quality and performance Viega is known for. Engineered with Smart Connect® technology, our valves allow you to
immediately pressure test on live systems, reducing the risk of callbacks.
The ability to connect pipe in seconds with just one tool saves time and labor, helping you
fit in more jobs and maximize uptime. All our industrial valves are backed by our two-year
warranty and our residential/commercial valves are backed by our five-year warranty,
ensuring confidence in every press.
