Big changes in Gasfitting!!
MEGAPRESS ACTION!!!
Baker is always looking to do its job faster, cleaner and more effectively. Today we changed the way we do gasfitting forever. With the latest pressing tools, we can now complete gas work oil and fume free.
MegaPress
ViegaMegaPress is the first clean, secure and efficient choice for joining carbon steel pipe. It is suitable for renovations, repairs or installation of new carbon steel pipe systems. ViegaMegaPress can even be installed on noncombustible/flammable lines that are not completely shut down, eliminating the need to fully drain a system, and shortening repair and installation time. It is approved for use in hydronic heating, compressed air, fire protection, cooling water, marine applications and many more. Not approved for use with potable water or in gas applications.
