Product line extension offers greater flexibility and options for large scale projects
Aalberts integrated piping systems (IPS), a global leader in advanced integrated piping systems for the distribution and control of liquids and gasses, announces the launch of “Apollo” PowerPress® options in large diameter (LD), an extension of its renowned “Apollo”® PowerPress® product line. This new offering, available in large diameters of 2 1/2″, 3″, and 4”, represents a significant advancement in piping technology, catering to broader applications and offering enhanced flexibility for large-scale projects.
Key features of the “Apollo”® PowerPress® LD make it especially valuable to the HVAC industry. The system offers HNBR or EPDM sealing elements with zinc-nickel coatings for superior corrosion resistance, providing reliable, long-lasting seals. EPDM sealing elements excel in hydronic heating and cooling systems, low-pressure steam lines, and process or utility water piping, which are key applications commonly found in commercial and industrial HVAC projects. These advanced sealing options help ensure leak-free performance and robust durability in large-diameter HVAC installations, supporting faster project completions and long-term reliability in heating, cooling, and ventilation systems.
The system incorporates the innovative Leak Before Press® technology, preventing unpressed connections from holding pressure and thus enhancing installation integrity and safety. For smaller “Apollo”® PowerPress® sizes (1/2″ to 2”), a color-coded Visual Control Ring (VCR) is featured, with tabs that break away to provide quick visual identification of completed connections. A standout feature of the “Apollo”® PowerPress® LD (2-1/2″ to 4”) is the color-coded Visu-Control® foil, which splits for easy removal after press completion. This ensures that unpressed connections are easily identifiable prior to system pressurization, further improving quality control and reducing inspection time.
The “Apollo”® PowerPress® LD system is compatible with Ridgid® and Milwaukee Press Tools, increasing installer convenience and allowing for faster installations with commonly used tools. Its full-port flow design maximizes flow rates, enhancing system efficiency and performance in fluid management. Aalberts IPS continues to support its products with comprehensive field service, ensuring successful implementation from pre-construction training to post-installation support. This commitment to customer success has been a key factor in the widespread adoption of “Apollo”® PowerPress® technology.
