Product Summary
The new Viega PEX Press polymer fitting system is designed to provide a 40 percent increased flow rate compared to the U.S. standard PEX insert fitting. Viega PEX Press polymer fittings also feature the innovative Smart Connect feature, which helps installers easily identify unpressed connections. Viega PEX Press polymer fittings are manufactured with a smaller wall thickness than other PEX connection fittings yet maintain their superior characteristics.
Construction and Materials
The Viega brand offers a comprehensive range of plumbing supplies, focusing on pipe and fittings, as well as water supply connectors. These products are engineered for reliability and ease of installation, serving a variety of residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
The construction of Viega's pipe and fitting systems emphasizes advanced joining technologies. Key to their offering is the press technology, which eliminates the need for open flame and solder. This method involves using a specialized press tool to create a permanent, watertight seal by compressing a fitting onto the pipe. The result is a robust connection that is resistant to vibration and thermal cycling.
Materials used in Viega's pipe and fitting systems are selected for their durability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with various fluid types. Common materials include:
* **ProPress Fittings:** Primarily made from high-quality brass, bronze, or stainless steel. These metals offer excellent strength and resistance to corrosion. The sealing elements within the fittings are typically made from advanced EPDM or HNBR rubber compounds, designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures and pressures.
* **PEX Tubing:** For PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) systems, the tubing itself is a flexible polymer, known for its resistance to corrosion and mineral buildup. Viega offers PEX tubing in various configurations, including standard PEX-A.
* **Copper Tubing:** Viega also utilizes standard copper tubing, a well-established material in plumbing known for its longevity and resistance to degradation.
* **Other Alloys:** Depending on the specific application and required performance characteristics, other specialized alloys might be incorporated into their fitting designs to ensure optimal performance in demanding environments.
Viega's water supply connectors are designed to provide safe and secure connections between water sources and appliances. These connectors are typically constructed with flexible tubing made from materials like braided stainless steel or high-quality rubber, ensuring durability and resistance to kinking. The end fittings are often made from brass or other corrosion-resistant metals, providing a reliable seal against leaks. The construction aims to facilitate quick and easy installation while maintaining the integrity of the water supply.
