Viega Extends Product Offering in Canada
Wichita, Kan., 6/01/09

Viega, the global leader in plumbing and heating systems, now offers ProPressG™ and ProRadiant™ products in Canada. “The introduction of these products builds on our value-added philosophy. Customers who have invested in tools and training related to other existing Viega products can now build their business even stronger through the implementation and uptake of these new products,” according to Mark Evans, Director of Sales – Canada.

 

ProPressG, is a press fitted alternative to soldered natural gas, LP gas and fuel oil connections. Available in sizes ½” to 2”, ProPressG fittings are CSA approved and have been ratified by the IGAC- Canada’s interprovincial gas code committee. ProPressG incorporates the patented Viega Smart Connect® feature. Color coded with yellow dots, to differentiate from standard ProPress® fittings, the Smart Connect feature gives the installer the ability to identify unpressed fittings during pressure testing which increases both the speed and reliability of the testing process. 

 

Viega’s ProRadiant heating and cooling product line is the largest and most comprehensive product offering in North America today. The availability of products like Climate Panel®, Climate Trak®, Snap Panel® will bring new opportunities for installers in Canada to incorporate the utility, flexibility and ultimately the profitability of our many existing installation methods. The most exciting opportunity however, is the launch of our newest radiant offering; the Climate Mat® system. Suitable for radiant cooling and/or radiant heating in commercial settings, Climate Mat enables installers to place tubing mats during the concrete pour, covering large areas faster and more efficiently than traditional installation methods. 

 

The introduction of these products (ProPressG and ProRadiant) will add to the already thriving line of ProPress copper, stainless and marine systems being sold in Canada. To learn more about Viega and all of our product offerings visit us at www.viega.com.
