MegaPress

Press connector fittings with connectors manufactured from non-​alloy steel 1.0308 for seamless, welded, galvanized, epoxy resin coated, industrially painted and black steel pipes in accordance with DIN EN 10255 (BS 1387) and DIN EN 10220.

Sealing element:

A cutting ring, a separator ring and an EPDM (polished black) profile sealing element are included in the bead of the press connector. The cutting ring cuts into the pipe during pressing and ensures a force-locked connection.

During insertion of the pipe, and later during the pressing, the separator ring protects the sealing element from damage.

Press connectors:

The press connectors are equipped with the Viega SC-Contur, which is a safety technology approved by Kitemark, and ensures that the connection is guaranteed to be leaking in an unpressed state. In this way, inadvertently unpressed connections are noticed immediately during a leakage test.

The connectors may only be pressed with Viega press machines with constant pressing force (e.g. Pressgun 5, Picco, Pressgun 4E/ 4B).

Viega guarantees that unpressed connections are visible during a leakage test:

• With the wet leakage test in the pressure range from 0.1–0.65 MPa (1.0–6.5 bar).
• With dry leakage test in the pressure range from 22 hPa–0.3 MPa (22 mbar–3.0 bar).

Viega MegaPress fittings are offered in +200 configurations, including:

• Elbows.
• Couplings.
• Reducers.
• Tees.
• Reducing tees.
• Threaded adapters.
• Unions.

Features and benefits:

• Up to 60% less assembly time in comparison with other conventional connecting methods, such as welding or threaded and groove connections.
• Economical due to high time-saving during installation.
• Fire-proof, as flames and flue gases are not produced with cold press technology.
• Universal use. Presses thick-walled steel pipes, irrespective of whether the pipe is seamless, welded, uncoated, galvanized or resin-varnished.
