Profipress

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

Sealing elements
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene rubber), black, pre-​assembled

Dimensions
d12–108.0, size availability in accordance with the national regulations

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 authorised service partners.
