For technical engineers, yacht crew, and shipyard managers in Malta, sourcing reliable, high-grade piping systems quickly is often a challenge during critical refit periods. Ritz Marine is proud to announce that we are now stocking VIEGA Marine systems locally.
Known globally for their German-engineered “cold press” technology, Viega systems offer a safer, faster, and cleaner alternative to traditional welding and soldering—crucial factors when working in the tight, flammable environments of an engine room.
The Cold Press Advantage: VIEGA Profipress and Seapress
Time is the most valuable commodity in a shipyard. VIEGA Profipress (Copper) allows engineers to connect pipes in seconds without a naked flame. This is ideal for drinking water and cooling systems where reliability is non-negotiable.
For more aggressive environments, we now stock VIEGA Seapress. Manufactured from CuNiFe (Copper-Nickel-Iron alloy), Seapress components are specifically designed to withstand the corrosive nature of seawater systems.
Heavy Duty Solutions: VIEGA Megapress and Sanpress
When dealing with thick-walled steel pipes, welding has traditionally been the only option—until now. VIEGA Megapress allows you to press thick-walled steel pipes ranging from ½ to 4 inches. This system is a game-changer for fire mains and fuel oil lines, eliminating the fire watch requirements associated with hot work.
For hygiene-critical applications or areas requiring high corrosion resistance, VIEGA Sanpress offers stainless steel and gunmetal fittings that ensure longevity and water quality safety onboard.
Optimized Flow: VIEGA Raxofix
Space is always at a premium on a yacht. VIEGA Raxofix is a raker-free, dimensionally stable plastic piping system that is perfect for flexible installation in tight cabins and voids. Its unique design minimizes pressure loss, ensuring that onboard water pressure remains consistent even in complex layouts.
Sourcing VIEGA Marine Systems in Malta
By stocking these systems locally, Ritz Marine aims to reduce the downtime associated with shipping parts from the continent. Whether you are performing a scheduled refit or an emergency repair, having immediate access to VIEGA Profipress, Seapress, Raxofix, Sanpress, and Megapress ensures your vessel gets back on the water faster.
