COMMERCIAL PLUMBING EDITION 2024
4. VERSATILITY ACROSS APPLICATIONS Viega press system fittings are designed with adaptation in mind. With multiple fitting types for HVAC & plumbing and more than 400 different configurations for copper and 350 for stainless steel, these systems can easily be used in a wide range of applications. This utility range makes them an especially attractive choice for contractors who encounter different installation scenarios often and need a versatile tool to tackle any challenge. 5. LOWER LABOR COSTS With less time needed to complete jobs, more projects can theoretically be done in a shorter amount of time. That means more cash flow in for the same amount of labor time. But the savings don’t stop there. After initial training, press fitting tools actually require less skilled labor compared to soldering, threading or welding methods. It also removes the need for open flames and other hazards that increase the risk of injury. This means that less experienced workers can be utilized on the job site, helping to fill workforce gaps when traditional method specialists aren’t available. Plus with less risk for injury, your overall jobsite liability goes down as well. 6. WARRANTY & ONGOING SUPPORT While the initial costs of moving to press fittings can be eyebrow raising, it does come with a high degree of confidence for your investment. Every Viega system comes with a robust product warranty, technical support and educational resources to help contractors during installations and routine maintenance. If a fitting or valve fails after a textbook installation, Viega can provide remedial support to address the faulty product. That’s reassurance you just don’t get with traditional connection methods.
Benefits of Switching to a Press Fitting System
We’ve covered what Viega brings to the table. But what does that mean on the contractor’s end? What can you and your business get from implementing press fittings into your workflow? As it turns out, quite a bit. 1. FASTER INSTALLATION Considering how quickly press fittings can create leakproof connections, contractors can expect significantly less time needed to complete a job compared to traditional methods. This means teams can complete larger projects faster as well, allowing them to move on to their next job more quickly. 2. IMPROVED SAFETY ON JOB SITES No flame? No problem. By eliminating the need for heat sources during installation, press fittings reduce the risk of fire, burns and other heat-related hazards at work sites. Not only does this make environments safer for contractors—it helps protect the building and keep its occupants safe from harm, too. 3. ENHANCED RELIABILITY Viega press systems take leak-proofing one step further with its precision-engineered fittings, secure sealing elements (EPDM, FKM and HNBR) on select fittings and a Smart Connect feature, which identifies incomplete or insecure connections in real time. No guesswork required. Together, these features provide long-term durability and peace of mind for every connection made.
