Viega Megapress Saves installation time, labour costs and a lot of welding work. Whether thick or thin-walled, painted or galvanised, coated or black – steel pipes can be used in a wide range applications, have long service lives and are particularly robust. So it is a good thing that Viega has come up with yet another genuinely innovative technology: Megapress. This system means that steel pipes can now make economic sense in heating, cooling or industrial plant applications.

One system for all applications Viega Megapress is the press technology specifically designed for thick-walled steel pipes. The formed-pipe connectors made of 1.0308 steel material with a zinc-nickel coating guarantee the highest quality and durability, and therefore of course a long service life. Steel pipes in compliance with DIN EN 10255 with threaded pipe quality and in compliance with DIN EN 10220/10216-1 and DIN EN 10220/10217-1 in boiler pipe quality, in the sizes ⅜ to 2 inches – and now also in 2 ½, 3 and 4 inches – can be connected safely and reliably using the Viega Megapress...

Viega Megapress Quick, clean, safe and completely weld-free. Black steel pipes formerly meant: welding work. With Viega Megapress, press technology now finds its way into steel pipe installation and delivers a whole range of advantages.

Up to 60 % faster completion The connection with Viega Megapress is ready in a few working steps. Just cut the steel pipe to length, deburr and clean it, and transfer the insertion depth of the connector to the pipe end (Fig. 1). Then put the connector on the pipe and apply the press jaw or press ring (Fig. 2). Join Megapress connectors from ⅜ to 2 inches with the aid of a Viega press machine (Fig. 3), and in addition establish a force-fit connection for pipes from 2 ½ to 4 inches using the Pressgun Press Booster (Fig. 4). Finally remove the safety tag on the press connector to indicate...

Viega Megapress with SC-Contur Ensures leakproof installation of steel pipes. For sure. The unsurpassed economic advantage of press technology is obvious right from the very first connection. And when it comes to safety: Megapress – as with all Viega press systems – also stands out thanks to the SC-Contur

Profile sealing element Separator ring Viega SC-Contur is an innovative safety feature that causes guaranteed forced leakage in unpressed connections. This identifies any inadvertently unpressed connections during the leakage test and they can be pressed subsequently. Viega SC-Contur ensures 100 % safety – over the entire testing range. Complex requirements, simple solution Viega Megapress comes with the SC-Contur. Forced leakage is produced in Megapress by an optimised tolerance between the press connector and the steel pipe. This is the best answer to the special requirements on a...

Viega Megapress in industrial applications FOR HIGH REQUIREMENTS AND HIGHEST STANDARDS. Lots of things have to be observed for pipeline installation in industrial applications. Whether cooling, heating, sprinkler, or compressed air systems – each application has unique requirements. Viega Megapress offers a variety of advantages in all cases that make the decisive difference. 1 Large pipe sizes for low temperatures When it comes to cooling systems, it is generally known that larger dimensions are used to transport the required cooling capacity (Fig. 1). The new Megapress XL sizes from 2 ½...

Industrial heating systems Thick-wall steel pipes are perfect for being used in industrial applications. The Megapress system can withstand the high industrial requirements and is installed quickly and safely thanks to the cold press technology. Sprinkler and fire extinguishing systems Sprinkler systems of thick-walled steel pipe (Fig. 2) are mandatory due to their reliability, durability, stability and long service life in buildings of high risk classes, e.g. industrial and commercial facilities. After all, they must not only resist the intense heat in the event of a fire but also...

Viega Megapress in domestic technology A BIG ADVANTAGE EVEN ON a SMALL SCALE. Thick-walled steel pipes have always played a decisive role in heating installations due to their ruggedness. They can be frequently found in new installation systems but also in older systems and thus in refurbishments. It is an advantage having such a wide-range system as Viega Megapress available. Simple connection of old and new It is common to find steel pipe installations during the refurbishment of older residential buildings. Due to their ruggedness, there can often be decades-old pipelines that are in a...

Great benefits even from ⅜ inch With the size ⅜ inch Viega offers all that is necessary for the laborious task of replacing radiators in steel pipe installations – and thus it is a genuine problem solver, for example for the refurbishment of old buildings. Megapress not only eliminates any fire risk (thereby protecting the existing building), but also prevents floor and wall coverings becoming damaged or soiled. This is because when working with the welding torch or the thread cutter, the difficult space conditions make it almost impossible not leaving any traces behind. Megapress can now...
