2.4.5.8 Viega Smart Connect Technology
Viega Smart Connect technology provides the installer quick and easy
identication of an unpressed tting during a leak test. When the tting
is pressed, a secure, non-detachable, mechanical connection is created.
Smart Connect technology provides the installer with an easy way to see
connections that have not been pressed before putting the system into
operation.
Testing for leaks using Viega Smart Connect is not a
replacement for testing requirements of local codes and
standards. If testing with compressed air, it is necessary to
use an approved leak-detect solution.

Viega ProPress
connections are
fast, flameless, and
reliable.
1
Identify an unpressed
connection during
pressure testing
when water or air flows
past the sealing element.
2
Upon identification,
use the press tool
to press the fitting,
making a secure leak-
proof connection.
2.5 General Installation Requirements
The Viega ProPress tting system must be installed while considering the
following general industry requirements.
2.5.1 Required Tools
The following tools are required for making a press connection:
■ Pipe cutter or a ne-toothed hacksaw
■ Deburring tool
■ Marker for marking insertion depth on tube
■ Press machine with constant pressing force
■ Press jaw or press ring with corresponding actuator suitable for the
tube diameter and with the proper prole
Improper Tool/Material Damage
Only use press jaws and rings that are designed for use
with ProPress ttings.
