Aalberts Integrated Piping Systems (IPS) is set to unveil its newest innovations at the AHR Expo 2026 in Las Vegas, taking place from February 2-4, 2026. The exhibition will showcase the company's cutting-edge solutions in carbon-steel press, valve technologies, and data center systems.
Aalberts IPS will share booth SL1364 with Aalberts hydronic flow control, offering attendees a chance to engage with application-focused displays and partake in table games with chances to win prizes.
Innovative Solutions for HVAC and Industrial Applications
The expo will feature the “Apollo”® butterfly valve LD151, a resilient-seated lug-style valve crafted for robust shutoff and throttling, tailored for challenging HVAC and industrial usage. The valve's design includes a ductile-iron body and a resilient elastomer seat that ensures the body is insulated from the process media. This construction facilitates bubble-tight shutoff and prolongs seat life, while a through-shaft design and multi-point stem support contribute to smooth operation.
Employing typical builds with aluminum-bronze or stainless-steel discs, along with a lug pattern suitable for between-flange and end-of-line service, the valve offers installment flexibility. This enables contractors to deliver reliable, space-efficient flow control with options for either manual or automated actuation.
Advanced Sealing Technology
The compatibility with standard press tools further ensures swift, uniform installations
In addition to the butterfly valve, Aalberts IPS will introduce the “Apollo”® PowerPress® LD, an expansion of the carbon-steel press system now available in sizes ranging from 2 1/2 to 4 inches, completing the collection from 1/2 to 4 inches.
Enhanced with EPDM and HNBR sealing elements and zinc-nickel-coated parts for superior corrosion resistance, the “Apollo”® PowerPress® LD allows for flame-free press connections that maintain high flow rates, applicable to diverse settings.
Equipped with Leak Before Press® technology and color-coded indicators on fittings, the system facilitates the identification of unpressed connections before activation. The compatibility with standard press tools further ensures swift, uniform installations.
Comprehensive Solutions for Data Centers
Targeting the data center sector, Aalberts IPS will present an expansive range of products, including “Apollo”® Press® copper fittings, “Apollo”® PowerPress® carbon-steel fittings, “Apollo”® SmartPress® stainless-steel fittings, Shurjoint grooved couplings, alongside a suite of Apollo ball and butterfly valves. These products serve chilled water, condenser water, technical water, and specialized piping systems.
Designed to deliver flame-free installation, high pressure endurance, and resistance to corrosion, these engineered sealing solutions enable leak-free, efficient fluid distribution. This supports both uptime and energy efficiency in hyperscale and enterprise data centers.
Aalberts IPS' offerings allow data center proprietors, engineers, and contractors to rely on a single-source piping platform. This streamlines design processes, accelerates construction timelines, and supports scalable cooling infrastructures to match increasing capacity demands.
