Application

  • Suitable for concealed and pre-​wall installations of riser pipes and floor installations.
  • Suitable for potable water and heating installations.

Description

Flow-​optimized press connector system with press connectors made of gunmetal and stainless steel and multi-​layer PEX-C pipes. Multi-​layer PEX-C pipe, dimensionally stable, oxygen seal. Press connectors are stainless steel with PPSU support body to ensure the leak tightness and mechanical strength of the connection. Safe and fast connection without widening or calibration of the pipe ends through O-​ring-​free press technology in all pipe dimensions. For protection pipes are equipped with pipe plugs.

Press connector with SC‑Contur:

Inadvertently unpressed connections become visibly leaky when the system is filled. 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.


Tools:

The functional safety of Viega press connector systems depends primarily on the faultless condition of the press tools used. For the manufacture of press connections, Viega recommends the use of Viega press tools. Viega press tools have to be regularly maintained by authorized service partners.


Standards and approvals:

Approved for d16–63 in accordance with WRAS approval number 1709382.
