It is recommended that all systems be clearly labeled with the media being conveyed. For further information please consult Viega
Technical Services.
2
All Viega systems must be used with the manufacturer's recommended sealing element.
Contact your local Viega representative or Viega Technical Services for specic application temperature, pressure, and concentration limits.
3
System pressure and temperature ranges depend on sealing element. Any ranges listed above will be overruled by the sealing element
limits here:
3a
EPDM temperature ranges are typically 0°F to 250°F.
3b
FKM temperature ranges are typically 14°F to 284°F with temperature spikes (24hr) up to 356°F.
3c
HNBR temperature ranges are typically -40°F to 180°F.
4
System must contain adequate condensate drainage.
5
Ambient temperatures should be taken as normal operating conditions for the applications not to exceed sealing element limitations.
