Megapress press-in connection
With the Megapress press-in connection, Viega offers a real solution for the retrospective positioning of connections in an existing steel pipe installation. The pipe is simply drilled with the relevant tool set and then the threaded connection is pressed using a Viega press tool. E. g., a thermometer can be quickly fitted into an existing steel pipe installation without any laborious preliminary works. The installation can be used again immediately.
Insert up to 80% faster in any steel pipe installation.
