LUXURY LIVING AND VIEGA A MATCH When working on new luxury condos in Miami Beach, the last thing Professional Plumbing Corp. in Hialeah, Florida, wanted to worry about was problems with the plumbing system. It’s why the company turned to Viega, a trusted partner, for peace of mind. The high-end residences, slated to be finished in 2020, will have stunning floor-to-ceiling windows with fantastic views of either the bay or South Beach, large terraces for seamless indoor-outdoor living, custom-designed bathrooms and a host of other luxurious touches. They will range in size from 2,000 to more than 10,000 square feet. “When you start using (Viega), you immediately realize the labor savings. Plus, you get the peaceof-mind benefit, and it’s easier to get a workforce trained,” said Manny Alonso, Vice President of Professional Plumbing. He said the company transitioned from sweating copper to using Viega ProPress about five years ago, and today exclusively presses its copper fittings. Then, noting that they were also using a lot of CPVC, folks at Professional Plumbing decided a couple of years ago to transition to Viega PureFlow Press for our PEX plastics needs, too. “With CPVC, it has the big risk of the infamous dry joints – they don’t leak and then blow apart later,” Alonso said. “So using PureFlow is a big peace of mind. And for copper, you eliminate the risk of leaks, too. It’s much easier to teach a guy to do a press joint than it is to teach him how to properly solder.
