Innovation took center stage in Oklahoma City as plumbing engineers and industry leaders came together for the 2026 American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE) Convention & Expo, and Viega arrived with something big to share.

Over two action-packed days, we caught up with longtime industry partners, met engineers tackling some of today's toughest piping challenges and shared a firsthand look at what's next for Viega press technology. What was the biggest moment? Officially unveiling our new Cleaned and Bagged product portfolio to the community.

From hands-on demonstrations and friendly competition on the expo floor to a Monday night celebration in downtown Oklahoma City, ASPE 2026 gave us plenty of reasons to celebrate.

Introducing Viega Cleaned and Bagged

ASPE 2026 marked the official debut of Viega’s Cleaned and Bagged fittings, our new product portfolio designed to bring greater simplicity and confidence to high-purity piping applications. And we couldn't have introduced it to a better group of pros.

For engineers designing systems in research labs, pharmaceutical manufacturing, gas advanced manufacturing and other contamination-sensitive environments, cleanliness isn't optional. Even microscopic contaminants can create major problems, and meeting stringent requirements often means adding cleaning, inspection and handling steps before installation can begin.

That's where Viega Cleaned and Bagged changes the process.

Through quality-controlled cleaning and individual packaging, components arrive cleaned, sealed and ready for installation, helping reduce the need for additional field cleaning. Engineers get a solution designed to meet cleanliness requirements, while contractors get the speed, consistency and reliability of Viega press technology.

Throughout the show, we had the opportunity to walk engineers through the new portfolio, answer technical questions and discuss how Cleaned and Bagged fittings can help their high-purity system designs.

Hands-On Demos & Head-to-Head Competitions

The excitement continued on the expo floor, where visitors to the Viega booth got an up-close look at the technologies and resources designed to help engineers work smarter. Attendees explored Viega press solutions, connected directly with product experts and experienced hands-on demonstrations highlighting the advantages of press technology and how Viega solutions address real-world piping challenges.

Attendees also had the opportunity to put their skills to the test in a competition featuring Viega’s new Tools for Revit, with the lucky winner taking home a professional drone.

Celebrating Innovation

And what’s a launch without a launch party? On Monday evening, Viega welcomed more than 200 guests to Bricktown Brewery in downtown Oklahoma City to celebrate the debut of Cleaned and Bagged.

With food, local beverages, interactive experiences and plenty of opportunities to connect, the evening brought together familiar faces and new friends from across the industry. Guests spent time with Viega engineers and product experts, explored hands-on activities and learned more about the new Cleaned and Bagged portfolio.

To everyone who joined us at Bricktown Brewery, thanks for making the launch such a memorable one.

Supporting the Plumbing Engineering Community

While the product launch was a major highlight, our time at ASPE was about more than introducing new technology. It was also about sharing knowledge, exchanging ideas and supporting the engineering professionals who make this industry what it is.

We brought that commitment to the Innovation Theater, giving attendees a closer look at how press technology is evolving to meet the demands of high-purity piping systems. Our presence on the Innovation Wall also put a spotlight on Viega's latest advancements, reinforcing our focus on developing solutions that address the real challenges in plumbing system design. We were also proud to support Women of ASPE as a sponsor, helping recognize and encourage the women making an impact across the plumbing engineering profession.

These opportunities are a big part of why ASPE matters to us. It's a chance to connect directly with engineers, hear what's happening on their projects and share the technical knowledge and resources that help turn complex designs into successful installations.

Looking at What’s Next

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, tested their skills in the Revit competition, joined us at Bricktown Brewery or took a few minutes to talk shop with our team. ASPE 2026 was an exciting opportunity to connect, collaborate and look toward the future of piping technology.
