The new products launched are:
• MegaPress 316 Globe Valves
• ProPress and MegaPress Butterfly Valves
• ProPress and MegaPress Wafer Check Valves
The MegaPress 316 Globe Valve is the first globe valve on the market with IPS press ends and fea-tures EPDM or FKM sealing elements. Available half-inch to 2 inch, 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 cor-rosion resistance, enhancing the valve’s durability.
The ProPress and MegaPress Butterfly Valves, available in sizes 2.5 to 4 inch, 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 re-sistance 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.
The ProPress and MegaPress Wafer Check Valves are used to prevent reverse flow. Available in sizes 2.5 inch to 4 inch, these valves feature a dual-disk design to create a more streamlined flow path, reduc-ing pressure drops and increasing energy efficiency. Models 2974.3XL and 5174XL include an NSF-61 rating, making them the ideal choice for installing potable water systems with ease. Model 5974XL has FKM sealing elements for more demanding applications. This compact wafer check valve is opti-mized for use with ProPress and MegaPress flange adapters.
