Press connector system with press connectors made of gunmetal or silicon bronze*, pipes made of stainless steel material No. 1.4401 and 1.4521 according to DIN EN 10088, DIN EN 10312, DVGW worksheet GW 541, system approval for connectors and pipes in acc. with DVGW worksheet W 534, for potable water installations in acc. with DIN 1988. For dimensionally stable concealed and pre-wall installations of manifold and riser pipes in Viega component assembly.

Press connectors
All sizes with SC‑Contur – accidently unpressed connections become visible during filling the system. The SC‑Contur is certified and fulfils the requirements of the DVGW worksheet W 534, point 12.14, Connectors with forced leakage.
During leakage tests with water Viega guarantees the identification of unpressed connections in the pressure range 0.1 MPa–0.65 MPa, in the case of dry leakage tests with compressed air or noble gases from 22 hPa–0.3 MPa.

Marking
Green dot on the press connection

Sealing elements
EPDM, black (ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer rubber); up to 110 °C; not resistant against hydrocarbon solvent, chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents, turpentine, petrol

Pipes

Use of press tools
The functional safety of the Viega press connector systems primarily depends on the perfect condition of the press tools and press machines used. For this reason, for the production of press connections we recommend the use of Viega press tools and their regular inspection by authorised service points.

Technical data
Press connectors and components are constantly being optimised. If required, the current Z and installation dimensions can be obtained from the download area of the Viega homepage: www.viega.com/downloads

*) Change of material due to the current switch of production from gunmetal to the Viega worldwide uniform silicon bronze alloy
