5 Viega MegaPress black steel pipe press joining system Viega is the original press technology provider, offering press joining solutions since the 1980s in copper and stainless steel. Now, Viega offers our revolutionary press technology in the first black steel press pipe joining system. Viega MegaPress is a black steel pipe joining method that reduces installation time and provides a clean, safe, reliable connection every time. Viega MegaPress fittings have the genuine Viega Smart Connect feature that allows the installer to easily detect unpressed fittings during testing. Viega MegaPress makes it possible to join black steel pipe without compromising the integrity of the pipe. Viega MegaPress is a cold press joining method available in IPS sizes 1/2" to 2" and can be utilized with ASTM A53 Schedule 5 to Schedule 40 black steel pipe. Viega MegaPress, with an EPDM sealing element, can be installed in systems such as compressed air, hydronic heating, fire protection and chilled water. Viega MegaPressG, with an HNBR sealing element, is suitable for Schedule 40 fuel oil, natural gas and LP gas installations. Installing Viega MegaPress joining systems: Saves time 30 percent to 60 percent Simplifies cleanup no oil or metal shavings Provides security join pipe consistently with no manual tightening Reduces installation costs less labor and downtime Promotes safety no fire watches or burn permits 5

7 Only Viega fittings offer the patented Smart Connect feature Viega s Smart Connect feature allows water or air to leak past the sealing element in an unpressed fitting, clearly indicating a missed connection. Since installers can easily see if all connections have been made during pressure testing, the Smart Connect feature helps save vast amounts of time during installation. Look for the colored dots because the genuine Smart Connect feature is only available on Viega fittings. Viega Sealing Elements EPDM Sealing Element Look for the colored dots. The black EPDM (ethylenepropylene-dienemonomer) sealing element is a synthetically manufactured and peroxidically cross-linked general purpose elastomer with a wide range of applications, including hydronic heating, low-pressure steam, fire protection and compressed air. Unpressed Pressed HNBR Sealing Element The yellow HNBR (hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber) sealing element is used mainly in fuel oil and gas applications, such as natural gas, propane, mixed and manufactured gases in the vapor state. 1 Identify an unpressed connection during pressure testing when water or air flows past the sealing element. 2Upon identification, use the press tool to press the fitting, making a permanent leak-proof connection. 3ProPress connections are fast, flameless and reliable. 7
