Global pressing technology specialist Viega has launched a new range of
press tools featuring a smaller and lighter design while packing a punch in
performance.
Viega’s new Pressgun 5 is one of the smallest and lightest press tools
on the Australian market for XL connections. Rod Luker, Viega’s National Sales
Manager Australia explains that the new Viega Pressgun 5 is more compact and
lightweight than its predecessor at just 3.2kg while supplying twice the
capacity. The new press tool can press all dimensions from DN15 to DN100 (for
Propress) and 15mm-108mm (for Sanpress Inox), while powered by lithium-ion
battery.
Pressgun 5 ticks all the boxes for safety and economy at the building
site. The press tool is 20 per cent lighter than the predecessor model, which
comes from a more compact structure, a lighter housing construction and a new
lithium-ion battery. By supplying twice the capacity with 18V/2.0 Ah, Pressgun
5 allows a full day’s work on a building site on a single charge.
Additionally, there is a cold start feature in the high performance
battery plus integrated monitoring electronics that effectively protect against
deep discharge, guaranteeing a long lifespan.
Key features of the Viega Pressgun 5 press tools include ram force of 32
kN and a range of use of DN15-DN100, equivalent to considerably bigger press
tools; ideal for space constrained applications with compact tool combined with
Viega’s flexible press rings and the 180° press head; simple handling enhanced
by ergonomic gun shape with soft-touch handle; integrated LED lamp for
comfortable lighting of the pressing point; compatible with any Viega large
format press jaws and hinged press jaws; and extended servicing intervals,
requiring servicing only after 40,000 pressings or after four years, thanks to
high quality manufacturing.
