Viega announces latest additions to its valve portfolio
Viega North America announces the latest additions to its product portfolio, adding globe, wafer check, and butterfly valves to its MegaPress ® and ProPress ® portfolio. The new products launched are: MegaPress 316 Globe Valves; ProPress and MegaPress Butterfly Valves; and ProPress and MegaPress Wafer Check Valves. The MegaPress 316 Globe Valve is the first globe valve on the market with IPS press ends and features EPDM or FKM sealing elements. Available ½ " – 2 ", this globe valve provides precise flow regulation where throttling fluids is essential. Model 5185.1
with the EPDM sealing element features NSF-61 approval for potable water systems. Looking to use this in more challenging environments? Model 5985.1 with FKM sealing elements, 316 stainless steel body, and components provide excellent corrosion resistance, enhancing the valve’ s durability. The ProPress and MegaPress Butterfly Valves, available in sizes 2½” – 4”, complete your system with dependable Viega press technology. These butterfly valves provide reliable flow isolation and control and are NSF-61-rated. Model 2979.8ZL is crafted with a ductile iron body and durable
epoxy coating, proving more cost-effective than carbon steel while offering higher pressure and temperature ratings than cast iron. Model 5179.8 features a 316 stainless steel body, providing superior corrosion
resistance against even the harshest medium. Both versions are equipped with an EPDM seal. These butterfly valves are optimized for use with ProPress and MegaPress flange adapters.
