The new line of Viega ProPress Hydronic Ball Valves (photo) are full port and designed for non-potable water applications. They are available in 1/2 and 3/4-in press sizes and 3/4-in. hose sizes. The ball valves feature NH threads and an ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) sealing element. The Viega ProPress copper system (which joins copper tubing in seconds without flame or heavy equipment) is available in more than 600 fitting configurations, and benefits from a patented SmartConnect feature, which ensures high-integrity connections, says the manufacturer. — Viega LLC, Broomfield, Colo.
