A LETTER FROM
THE VP OF SALES AND MARKETING
2
016 was a difficult year in many aspects, with big changes across many industries, both global and local. It’s no different with Viega LLC, because 2016 marks the year our offices moved from our long-time home in Wichita, KS, to our new headquarters in Broomfield, CO, on the outskirts of Denver. Kansas has been a good home for us, but as we continue to grow, the Denver area became the obvious choice for us. We can be more effective here, reach more people here, provide more convenient training opportunities here, and continue to grow here as we have grown in Wichita since 2005. Direct flights to and from the Denver airport are among the least expensive in the United States, and our new training center and our new headquarters are underway. With our new training center, we’ll be able to offer more advanced education options that will help our customers grow their businesses. We already provide the best industry-focused training available, and soon it will be easier to access than ever. An active, dynamic city, Denver has a growing economy that fits our business model, but how do you move a company like Viega LLC without disrupting the way you do business? It’s not impossible, but the challenge was real. If you’ve ever moved before, you know what a distraction it can be. There are boxes to pack, people to relocate, a new location to discover. The task of moving a home is an all-consuming one. Multiply it by a hundred, and that’s what it’s like to move an office. Yet, 2016 brought excellent sales performance for Viega LLC. We continued to grow, both in sales numbers and in employees. We accomplished our move to Broomfield without disrupting our sales activity. We kept our momentum and increased our commercial performance. How is that possible? The answer isn’t easy, but it makes Viega who we are. One thing has always been true at Viega LLC: We are a team devoted to giving our customers the highest quality solutions and service in the industry. If one department within Viega tried to move alone, it would not have been successful. Instead, we all worked together, not only to transition our offices to a better location but also to keep our customers satisfied along the way. The employees here at Viega kept doing what needed to be done, regardless of personal sacrifice or inconvenience to themselves. That’s what makes us a great team. We have a common goal and focus. We always seek to help our customers succeed even when we are being pulled in many different directions. If Viega was able to do all this and still keep growing and taking care of our people and our customers during a year like 2016, just imagine what we will accomplish in 2017. I can’t wait to find out.

which are wonderful innovations, but in an installation like the Emerson College dining hall, they added a level of complication. “Most of the faucets are on timers, which limit the amount of water that can flow out,” said Rich Dean, Senior Plumbing Designer for Vanderweil Engineers who designed the hot water system installation for the project. “When you have the limited amount of time, you don’t purge the line. Viega’s double drop elbow gets water to the faucet from the source quicker, and that improves user experience.” Dean designed the hot water plumbing systems for two bathrooms in the dining facility. One bathroom provided the space necessary to install regular tees, but the other bathroom was too small.

AS SEEN ON THIS OLD HOUSE®:
HISTORIC HOME GETS NEW, EFFICIENT HEATING SOLUTION H istoric houses are a common sight across New England, some dating back as far as the Revolutionary War and earlier. But while these homes out of history are beautiful, they present a hazard when it comes to renovation. One such house, a beautiful Arts-andCrafts house in historic Arlington, MA, was built in 1909. A three-level, 2,400-square-foot home, this historic
“What always happens on our This Old House® projects is that people feel radiant heat and end up wanting it everywhere.” Richard Trethewey Founder and Owner, RST Thermal
structure was originally heated with steam and later converted to high temperature hydronic heating. The house, featured on the nationally known renovation program This Old House® in January, ran the gamut of renovation projects, including a new porch, expanded areas for the kitchen and master bathroom, a new chimney, and an updated heating system. With so much space being heated by high temperature hydronic heating, the cost to keep the climate controlled in a home like this is off the charts. To keep the house warm would require spending an estimated $10,000 annually. Installing a new, high-efficiency heating system only made sense, especially since the rest of the house would be undergoing renovations as well. The problem? With a house this age, soldering new heating lines posed a risk to the old wooden framing. Fortunately, Bilo Plumbing and Heating Company in Ipswich, MA, has a history continued on page 10

AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMPLEX IN ONTARIO INSTALLS ALL VIEGA SYSTEMS F

now boasts a population around 370,000 strong and is still growing. As part of an affordable housing project in the historic districts of the city, many older buildings are being transformed into apartment complexes. Not all of the apartments are old, though. Some of the construction is new, even though it’s designed to look old, like the apartments at Woodfield Terrace. Woodfield Terrace is a four-story, 33unit complex located in central London, and in 2016 Taps Plumbing installed nearly every available Viega system solution inside it. “We looked at all the other stuff that was out there,” said Dan Metcalfe, Owner of Taps Plumbing, “and Viega’s products are the most user friendly, especially in the larger sizes.” The owners of Woodfield Terrace also owned the building’s next door twin, where a different contractor had installed a fusion-welded system four years earlier. Just as the Woodfield Terrace project was beginning, that four-year-old system sprang a leak. “The owners of that building were facing multiple leaks,” Metcalfe said, “so it was easy to sell them on Viega. Viega’s got the best warranty on the PEX and the copper.” Metcalfe and his crew got to work and installed ViegaPEX Ultra tubing, Viega radiant systems, Viega ProPress for copper, and Viega MegaPressG for natural gas all in sizes ranging from ½" to 2".

We already had a very congested space to work in, so saving one more pipe run was a big savings.” Viega worked alongside Taps Plumbing to design both the plumbing system and the heating system in the apartment complex. Metcalfe and the Taps Plumbing crew all love installing Viega system solutions. “My crew can install all kinds of PEX, but Viega PEX Systems are by far the easiest,” Metcalfe said. “They’re the ones that our guys feel are more secure.

WORKING TOGETHER TO GET A JOB DONE
SYRACUSE, NY
Aspen Heights as an organization is all about people, which is why the company has invested so much in providing resortstyle living options for university students. To build a brand new student housing project in Syracuse, NY, the company hired two different contractors to install the plumbing systems. Burns Bros. Contractors Inc. Plumbing in Syracuse worked on two of the three buildings, and ATL Plumbing and Mechanical in Chittenango, NY, worked on the other. But they’re both installing Viega MegaPressG for black iron pipe. Burns Brothers Plumbing, a union contractor, installed Viega MegaPressG in the project’s parking garage, which will provide heating to the residences. Burns Brothers also installed ViegaPEX Ultra tubing for the project’s potable water systems. In the same project, ATL Plumbing and Mechanical, a non-union contractor, is currently installing Viega MegaPressG fittings too. Since Viega solutions are flameless and dependable, every installer saves time and labor, and that means less frustration. The 422-bed complex provides 145,000 square feet of rentable space for students, and the three, five-story, gardenstyle apartment buildings make up the bulk of a $38 million development. Working together isn’t always possible in this industry, but when contractors can join forces to get a job done on time, that’s always worth celebrating. Thanks to the great teamwork provided first by Burns Brothers and also by ATL Plumbing and Mechanical, that’s something Aspen Heights Syracuse will be able to do for a long time.

It also incorporates a proprietary membrane that provides superior R-value retention by reducing off gassing. Insulated piping reduces heat loss, and its high compressive strength makes it ideal for areas with high traffic loads. As with any PEX solution from Viega, insulated PEX Barrier piping offers a complete range of pipe, fittings, and accessories. This piping is pre-marked every meter.

has always been a lucky guy. Music recalled a story about winning a backhoe once. Winning the piece of construction equipment was lucky enough, but what made it really special was who awarded it to him. Back when Music was 18 years old, he tried for a position at a water company, and part of the test included operating a backhoe. He’d aced the maintenance test, and he been given 20 minutes to dig a hole using the equipment. He’d never been in a backhoe before, but he was game to try it. But after only 10 minutes, the supervisor kicked him out because it didn’t look like he was going to succeed.

FITTING TRENDS
EARN YOUR ASSE INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATION IN HYDRONICS FROM VIEGA O nce installed primarily in European countries, radiant heating and
cooling systems are becoming more
popular in the United States. While the theory of how radiant systems work is simple—and proven, dating back to Korea in the Bronze Age and Ancient Rome—installing a radiant system correctly takes training and design. You can attend a manufacturer's training course for nearly every brand of radiant on the market, but how can you be sure that training will meet the standards of the industry? If training doesn't prepare you for an industry-approved installation, your project may suffer unnecessary delays and callbacks. That's where the Radiant Professionals Alliance (RPA) comes in. RPA designed a standardized course for radiant installation, the ASSE/IAPMO/ ANSI Standard 19000 Hydronic Systems Certification Program. Viega is the first manufacturer to be certified to offer this course. What's more, one of our radiant instructors, Jim Erhardt, is one of only 11 other radiant industry professionals officially certified to teach it. Erhardt, an industry professional with more than 40 years in hydronic heating experience, believes that there is more to installing radiant systems than just understanding the products themselves. "Today's hydronic contractor must be familiar with not only specific equipment installation requirements, but also how
