Offerings now include new MegaPress®G valves for gas applications
Viega LLC, the leader in pressing technology and systems, is now the single solution for press valves.
Viega is introducing an entirely new line of MegaPress®G valves in sizes 1⁄2″ to 2″. These valves, like MegaPressG press fittings, are approved for use in gas and fuel oil applications. The valves are suitable for use with ASTM Schedule 5 to Schedule 40 carbon steel pipe.
Viega also is launching larger sizes of its MegaPress 3-piece ball valves, the first press ball valve of its kind in the 21⁄2″ to 4″ range.
In addition, ProPress® valves are now available in sizes 21⁄2″ to 4″ for use with copper and stainless CTS pipes.
The new valves are approved for more commercial, industrial and residential applications than any other system. All Viega valves are equipped with Smart Connect technology, which makes it easier to find unpressed connections.
Regardless of the application or product line, using Viega valves and fittings means no open flames, faster connections and greater labor savings, resulting in safer and more efficient projects that come in on time and on budget.
“The addition of our new valves means customers will no longer have to pair Viega fittings with valves from other manufacturers. Instead, they can install a complete Viega system with the confidence that valves and fittings are designed and engineered for each other and will deliver the highest quality in the industry,” said Luke Paulo, manager of product portfolio development.

For use with Airstage VRF systems, Fujitsu General America, Inc. is introducing its all-new Airstage Integration Manager™, optimized for the Niagara Framework by Tridium Inc.
A dramatic evolution in the integration of Airstage systems, this new controller features a new global design that functions with legacy systems and is also scalable for future needs.
The Airstage Integration Manager is a compact controller and integration platform for connecting Airstage VRF and devices to any commercial Building Management System (BMS). It is compatible with all Airstage VRF models, and includes a guided configuration tool, basic monitoring and control functions, an alarm console, and cloud-based access.
The licensing model for the Airstage Integration Manager controller is simple, and features native Airstage and standard open-protocol drivers, including BACnet, LonWorks, and Modbus. Optional IO and field bus expansion modules provide flexibility and expandability.
In larger facilities, multi-building applications and large-scale control system integrations, Niagara 4 Supervisors can be used with Airstage Integration Manager controllers to aggregate information, including alarms and historical and real-time data to create a single unified application. Configuration and control software is custom-designed for Airstage systems. No experience with the Niagara platform is necessary.
Users can easily check system status from the front panel LEDs of the unit to diagnose network issues. The controller is available to purchase pre-licensed for 25 or 125 Airstage devices (indoor + outdoor units). Device license upgrades, in increments of 50, can be purchased in the future as needs grow.
