Viega products are designed to be
installed by licensed and trained plumbing
and mechanical professionals who are
familiar with Viega products and their installation.

ground applications for indefinite periods of time and
do not require protection from UV exposure during
shipping, handling, storage, installation or use.

HDPE Fusion Cycle Time
It is important to follow and understand the
instructions that come with your socket fusion tool.
The integrity of your system will depend on how well
the fitting connections are made. It is very important
that the heating and handling times be followed.
Each tool manufacturer will provide charts outlining
heating and handling times. In the absence of a
manufacturers chart the table below can be used as
a guide.
