Cold press pipeline fittings for use with steel pipes.
The system is intended for use in industrial and heating systems and is a replacement for welded and threaded connections in new installations and repairs. It is not suitable for use in drinking water installations. For this reason, pipes and connectors are labelled with a black symbol stating 'not drinking water'.
The piping system must not be used for fuel gases in accordance with DVGW G 260. The connectors may only be pressed with Megapress press rings and jaws.
Press connector fittings with connectors manufactured from non-alloy steel 1.0308 for seamless, welded, galvanized, epoxy resin coated, industrially painted and black steel pipes in accordance with DIN EN 10255 (BS 1387) and DIN EN 10220.
Sealing element:
A cutting ring, a separator ring and an EPDM (polished black) profile sealing element are included in the bead of the press connector. The cutting ring cuts into the pipe during pressing and ensures a force-locked connection.
During insertion of the pipe, and later during the pressing, the separator ring protects the sealing element from damage.
Press connectors:
The press connectors are equipped with the Viega SC-Contur, which is a safety technology approved by Kitemark, and ensures that the connection is guaranteed to be leaking in an unpressed state. In this way, inadvertently unpressed connections are noticed immediately during a leakage test.
The connectors may only be pressed with Viega press machines with constant pressing force (e.g. Pressgun 5, Picco, Pressgun 4E/ 4B).
Viega guarantees that unpressed connections are visible during a leakage test:
Viega MegaPress fittings are offered in +200 configurations, including:
