Viega, the first press fitting system to meet the standard for use on Navy combat ships, has won approval for additional components to be used onboard.
Last year, the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) approved the use of MegaPress CuNi press fittings in sizes 1/2-inch to 2-inch to be used in surface combatant vessels for a variety of systems, including chilled water, potable water, electronic freshwater cooling, seawater cooling, washdown countermeasures, drainage and many others. ProPress copper 1/2-inch fittings were also approved for potable water and various drains.
