Press connector with SC‑Contur:

Inadvertently unpressed connections are noticed immediately during a leakage test. Viega guarantees the detection of unpressed connections in the following pressure ranges:

Minimum water pressure: 0.1 MPa/ 1 bar/ 14.5 PSI.
Maximum water pressure: 0.65 MPa/ 6.5 bar/ 94.3 PSI.
Minimum air pressure: 22 hPa/ 22 mbar/ 0.3 PSI.
Maximum air pressure: 0.3 MPa/ 3 bar/ 43.5 PSI.

Sealing elements:

FKM (fluorocarbon rubber), matt black, pre-assembled.

The use of Profipress S and Profipress connectors with FKM sealing elements in potable water and gas installations is not permitted.

Standards and approvals
