The Torch Is Past(and so are welding and grooving)
The future of joining stainless steel pipe is here—Viega ProPress®
+ =Speed•Speedsinstallation
time with press
connections
completed in as
little as five seconds.
Reliability•Consistentpress
connections mean
water-tightandgas-tight
joints every time.
•PatentedSmartConnect
feature identifies
unpressed connections
so they are not left behind.
Results•Thousandsof
professionals are
using the ProPress
system to improve
installation time, avoid
leaks and provide
aprofessional-
looking job.
Put those welding torches away and pack up that old roll groover
too. Now, there is a better way to connect stainless steel pipe—
Viega press technology. ProPress is faster, safer and more
consistent compared to traditional methods.
