Pegler is pleased to announce it has been named as a finalist in the prestigious H&V News industry awards, taking place this April.
Shortlisted to receive an award within the Commercial HVAC Product of the Year category; Pegler Product Manager, Amy French commented: “We are delighted to have been chosen as a finalist. The H&V News awards are renowned in the industry and to have our peers already supporting one of our newest products to the range is fantastic.”
The product which has propelled Pegler into the limelight once again, is the new VSH PowerPress range of fittings and valves for use on thick wall steel pipes and which is particularly suited to the HVAC commercial market.
VSH PowerPress is a press system that does away with the need for soldering joints and connects a range of steel systems including black steel, epoxy coated and galvanized. It offers many more advantages over any other thick wall system in the UK such as; compatibility with a range of specifically developed valves in the same carbon material as the pipe, something that is unique to this type of system and which greatly enhances its reliability by eliminating any damaging galvanic corrosion and condensation. It also has specially designed press clips that 'pop-off' when the joint is pressed correctly ensuring a faster and safer install.
In addition, VSH PowerPress also incorporates a fail-safe leak before press indicator, which enables installers to identify missed or incorrectly pressed joints and rectify them prior to any commissioning it also includes advanced ‘O’ ring protection, that is specifically developed to seal the joint and mitigate any corrosion.
The VSH PowerPress system combines the best press technology, for which Pegler is renowned and, negates the need for heat which provides all the associated benefits such as; clean joints, no flux requirement, faster install times and a safer working environment ensuring an easier installation overall.
Amy concluded: “VSH PowerPress provides greater system efficiencies by having a comprehensive and compatible valve range in addition to being easily integrated into other building piping systems which allow for a more seamless, cost and time efficient install.”
