Viega MegaPressG with an HNBR sealing element is the first press fitting system for carbon steel pipe approved for use in gas and fuel oil applications. Viega MegaPressG is ideal for industrial, commercial and residential applications and performs well in both new installations and retrofit projects.
Tested to the strictest standards in North America, Viega MegaPressG joins carbon steel pipe reliably through the engineered design of the fittings and a battery-powered press tool. Not approved for use with potable water.
• Suitable for use with ASTM Schedule 5 to Schedule 40 carbon steel pipe as allowed by local code.
• With an HBR sealing element, MegaPressG is the first press fitting approved for carbon steel pipe approved for use in gas and fuel oil applications.
• The Viega Pressgun 6 with an actuator and ring makes press connections up to 2″. Connections 2 1/2″ up to 4″ can be made with the use of the Z3 actuator or booster with the appropriate tools.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Engineered with a 420 stainless steel grip ring plus a 304 stainless steel separator ring for sizes ½” to 2″ and a graphite separator ring for sizes 2½” to 4″

Grundfos is launching the Hydro MPC CME, the newest member of the Hydro MPC platform. The compact, reliable and energy efficient packaged pumping system is ideal for pressure boosting and HVAC applications in apartments, large homes and multistory buildings.
“Our Grundfos engineering team has worked hard to expand our industry-leading Hydro MPC range to include the new Hydro MPC CME,” said Greg Bretz, vice president of commercial buildings for Grundfos. “This new system will provide all the benefits of our world-class CU 352 controller, but in a more compact system with a smaller footprint.”
The Hydro MPC CME system offers superior performance and industry-leading reliability. Key features include a performance range of max 330 gpm and max pressure 145 psi; efficiency-based pump sequencing; end of curve protection; check valve failure detection, and more. Additionally, a suction pressure transducer is included for dry-running protection.
The Grundfos Hydro MPC CME will be displayed for the first time at AHR Expo in Orlando at the Orange County Convention Center from Feb. 3-5, 2020. Attendees can get a hands-on look at the Hydro MPC CME and other products and solutions, including the first end- suction pump with proportional pressure in Grundfos booth #3361.

Caleffi North America, Inc. introduces an all-new, innovative, 4-port scald protection valve for point-of-use applications, the 5212 Series SinkMixer™. Its compact design minimizes connection points by allowing direct connection from the valve to the cold fixture port without the use of an additional tee that is required with 3-port valve configurations. SinkMixer includes a stand-off mounting bracket and standard 3/8” compression connections that easily fit common under-sink hoses and pipe fittings to simplify installation. The precision engineered, DZR low-lead brass body complies with IPC, IRC, UPC and NPC plumbing codes and is NSF/ANSI 372 low lead and ASSE 1070/CSA B125.3 certified.
“The quality and precision of the SinkMixer is a great example of Caleffi’s attention to detail in design and manufacturing,” said Kevin Freidt, director of product management and technical support.
SinkMixer will be on display at Booth 6581 during the upcoming AHR Expo in Orlando, Feb. 3-5, 2020. Please contact us at sales@caleffi.com or (414) 238-2360 for more information.

As showcased in the Uponor booth at the 2020 NAHB International Builder’s Show (IBS), Phyn, the leader in intelligent water solutions backed by Uponor and Belkin International, showcases its commitment to innovation in sustainable and water efficient construction products and technology with the introduction of Phyn Plus Pro Edition.
Created for and sold exclusively to professional channels including home builders and the residential construction community, Phyn Plus Pro Edition shares all of the best-in-class capabilities of the award-winning consumer Phyn Plus Smart Water Assistant + Shutoff product, the most accurate and comprehensive whole-home smart water monitoring solution on the market.
The Phyn Plus Pro Edition is enhanced with features that are optimized for installation at scale, including an ethernet port, a direct scan QR code for quick setup, and a unique rough-in “blank” to hold the place of the device until the finish plumbing stages of construction.
The adoption of smart home technology in standard new-home construction is growing at a rapid pace as more consumers want to stay connected to their homes for added security, convenience and comfort. 81% of home buyers are more likely to purchase a home with smart technology already installed. Not only does Phyn’s smart technology add to the overall value of a home, but also creates a more eco-friendly residence that supports the overwhelming majority of people looking to live more sustainably.
“In working with home builders we discovered that they have unique needs that the existing solutions on the market have not yet met,” said Ryan Kim, CEO of Phyn. “With the Pro Edition, we listened and took the opportunity to incorporate both their business as well as operational needs to develop an extension of our best-in-class Phyn Plus product that makes it easy for them to integrate into the existing life cycle of a new home build.”
Installed on a single location on the main water line, Phyn Plus Pro Edition is an innovative smart home device that protects and monitors a home’s entire plumbing system. The device analyzes microscopic changes in water pressure — 240 times every second — to fingerprint each water fixture and give homeowners unprecedented insight into their water consumption. From the smallest drip leak to frozen pipes, Phyn ensures homes are water tight and can automatically shut off the main water in the event of a catastrophic leak to mitigate damage.
With a sleek, durable, and compact design that is built for quick installation, the Phyn Plus Pro Edition features an integrated power supply that is built into the device. Additionally, the Pro Edition includes an ethernet port for the device to be hardwired to the home’s network instead of having to only rely on the homeowner’s WiFi. This is key in situations where the device may be installed in a part of the property where the WiFi signal may not adequately reach.
Professional channels will be able to purchase the Phyn Plus Pro Edition for $499 starting in Q3 of 2020. The device joins Phyn’s growing lineup of award-winning products, which includes the recently announced Phyn XL 1.5” and the Phyn XL 2” created for larger homes, new construction and light commercial properties with supply lines up to 2”. Phyn’s robust product suite now offers a full range of leak detection and water monitoring solutions for every type of residence, ranging from the DIY installed Phyn Smart Water Assistant to the professionally- installed Phyn Plus, Phyn XL1.5” and Phyn XL 2”.
Builders and professional installers may contact Phyn at Phyn.com for more information about the Phyn Plus Pro Edition.

Taco Comfort Solutions offers the 4900 Series magnetic dirt separator to provide dual-action dirt separation for closed loop hydronic heating systems.
Both hydronic component lifecycle and efficiency are improved with the use of an effective dirt separation system. Taco’s 4900 Series magnetic dirt separator utilizes a powerful, 13,000 gauss magnet in addition to patented PALL ring technology.
The 4900 Series magnetic dirt separator efficiently separates microscopic particles including dirt and magnetite from hydronic fluid with minimal pressure loss. The unit is easily blown down (cleaned) by opening a valve at the bottom of the vessel.
Available sizes range from ¾” to 2” NPT and from ¾” to 1-1/2” sweat. The unit’s maximum operating temperature is 250°F and maximum pressure is 145 PSI.
