Viega
Innovative Press Technology Since 1899
Founded in 1899 in Germany by Franz Viegener, Viega has evolved from a small beer tap manufacturer into a global leader in plumbing and piping technology. As a quality-focused family business employing more than 5,500 people, the company has 125 years of experience in building technology. Today, Viega stands as one of the most respected names in the installation industry, operating manufacturing facilities across Germany, the United States, China, and India to serve contractors and professionals worldwide.
Press Fitting Technology Pioneers
Since bringing press technology to the U.S. in 1999, Viega has revolutionized how plumbing and HVAC systems are installed. The company was the first manufacturer to engineer press fittings in sizes up to 4", eliminating the need for dangerous open flames and traditional soldering methods. With more than 2,500 standard and non-standard applications, their systems are approved to take on more jobs than any other press manufacturer in the industry.
What truly sets Viega apart is their proprietary Smart Connect® technology. Viega created Smart Connect®, the only technology that detects unpressed connections 100% of the time. This innovation provides installers with crucial safety assurance during pressure testing, preventing costly callbacks and ensuring system integrity from day one.

Commercial, industrial, residential and marine contractors worldwide trust Viega for all their plumbing, flushing, and heating and cooling needs.
