PRESS FITTINGS FOR IPS STAINLESS STEEL
Viega's new MegaPress stainless press fittings are designed for iron pipe-size stainless steel and make secure connections in less than seven seconds, which helps keep a project on time or ahead of schedule, the company noted. Viega added the fittings can reduce installation time by up to 60% compared to welding or threading. The fittings are equipped with the patented Viega Smart Connect feature, which allows installers to easily identify unpressed connections during pressure testing. The fittings are available in 304 and 316 stainless steel. The new offering also is approved for use with Schedule 10 and Schedule 40 pipe.

BUTTERFLY VALVES
NIBCO's grooved UL/FM butterfly valves are lightweight and install ready. Their compact size makes installation easier in confined spaces with a durable fused corrosion-resistant nylon coating, NIBCO notes. The valves feature a pressure rating of up to 350 psi, a re-engineered gear operator and a redesigned body for enhanced performance. The double- lipped EPDM encapsulated disc assures a bubble-tight seal and lower torque gear operator requires less force to operate. Available in sizes ranging from 2 1/2" to 10."
