Sanpress
General
Flow-optimised press connector system with press connectors made of gunmetal or silicon bronze (change of material due to the current switch of production from gunmetal to the Viega worldwide uniform silicon bronze alloy) and pipes made of stainless steel 1.4401 and 1.4521. Press connectors for protecting the sealing element equipped with cylindrical pipe guide. Press connectors from d64.0 with stainless steel cutting ring to ensure the mechanical strength of the connection. For protection pipes are equipped with pipe plugs. The pressing force is located before and behind the sealing element seat. Suitable for concealed and pre-wall installations of riser pipes and floor installations.
Marking
Manufacturer, pipe dimension, batch, green dot on press end, yellow pipe plug for 1.4401, green pipe plug for 1.4521, detachable orange label as press indicator from d64.0

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

Note
The press connector system Sanpress is suitable for the creation of potable water installations according to DIN 1988‑200 and EN 806‑2 in consideration of the selection of material in accordance with DIN EN 12502‑1 and DIN 50930‑6. When used for other areas of use and when in doubt about the right selection of material, please contact Viega. The system components should be protected against high concentrations of chloride generated by both the medium and by external factors. Detailed information about applications, restrictions and national standards and directives can be found in the product information, either printed or on the Viega website.
