“Viega customers are passionate about the products and extremely loyal,” said Molly Morrow, Channel Marketing Manager. “We want to reward them for the loyalty that has made Viega the industry leader in pipe fitting installation technology and we thought giving them the products they already use and enjoy would be the best way to do it.”
The program is simple. Contractors enroll at ViegaRewards.us. When they make qualified purchases of Viega products, they upload the invoices on the claims page of the rewards website or the Viega Rewards app. Invoices are reviewed and points are paid out weekly.
When they’ve earned enough points to qualify for anything from sweatshirts to press tools, they can search the online catalog on the same site and choose their reward, which will be shipped to them. Points do not expire. Members also will receive special promotions. Enroll by Dec. 31, 2020, to earn 1,000 bonus points.
Wholesalers and distributors are not eligible for Viega Rewards. To learn more about the program, visit the About page on ViegaRewards.us. The site is administered by Incentive Solutions, an Atlanta firm.

The importance of proper domestic hot water (DHW) temperature control in providing comfort, safety and convenience cannot be overstated. Delivering it remains one of the most important responsibilities of plumbing system designers. Kevin Freidt, Caleffi director of product management and technical support, will discuss temperature control at the hot water source, at the point-of-use, in the balanced secondary circuits and in the system as a whole.
You’ll learn:
→ What methods are used to control temperature at the DHW source?
→ What is different about controlling hot water temperature at the source vs. at the point-of-use?
→ Mixing valve standards ASSE 1017, ASSE 1070 and other related ASSE standards.
→ Can an instantaneous heater take the place of a mixing valve?
→ Are electronic mixing valves more accurate than thermostatic mixing valves?
→ How do I properly size and install a mixing valve to assure accuracy?
→ What are some causes of the loss of accuracy in a mixing valve?
→ What about temperature control and balancing of secondary piping circuits when I have recirculation?
→ What does accurate temperature control have to do with preventing Legionella bacteria issues?

Freidt is the intellect behind sizing up the best product offerings in a moving target market and manages an exceptional technical support team. He has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering Technology, 35+ years’ of experience in the commercial HVAC industry and is a LEED AP.
