Aalberts Integrated Piping Systems (IPS), a leader in advanced integrated piping systems for the distribution and control of liquids and gasses, has launched "Apollo" PowerPress options in large diameters (LD).
This is an extension to the 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 Power Press 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 colour-coded Visu-Control foil, which splits for easy removal after press completion. This ensures that unpressed connections are easily identifiable prior to system pressurisation, 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.
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.
