Viega products are designed to be
installed by licensed and trained plumbing
and mechanical professionals who are
familiar with Viega products and their installation.
Installation by non-professionals may void
Viega LLC’s warranty.
For applications requiring Viega ProPress
with FKM or HNBR sealing elements,
remove the factory-installed EPDM sealing
element and replace with an FKM or HNBR sealing
element. See Changing Sealing Elements Product
Instructions.
1
Cut the tube square using a displacement-type
cutter or fine toothed saw.
Note: Cut tubing a minimum of four inches away
from the contact area of the vise to prevent
possible damage to the tubing in the press area.
2
Deburr inside and outside of the tube to the
proper insertion depths to prevent cutting sealing
element.
DANGER!
Read and understand all instructions for
installing Viega ProPress fittings. Failure
to follow all instructions may result in extensive
property damage, serious injury, or death.
3
Check the sealing element for correct fit. Do not
use oils or lubricants. Use only Viega sealing
elements.
4
Mark the proper insertion depth as indicated by the
ProPress Insertion Depth Chart. Improper insertion
depth may result in an improper seal.

Pressure testing with Smart Connect
®
:
Unpressed connections are located by
pressurizing the system with air or water. When
testing with water the proper pressure range is
15 psi to 85 psi. When testing with compressed
air the proper pressure range is ½ psi to 45 psi
maximum. If testing with compressed air, use
an approved leak-detect solution. Following a
successful pressure test, the system may be
pressure tested up to 200 psi with air or up to 600
psi with water.
Testing for unpressed connections using
Smart Connect is not a replacement for
pressure testing requirements of local
codes and standards.
Warning!
Keep extremities and foreign objects away
from press tool during pressing operation
to prevent injury or incomplete press.
Copper tubing must be free of surface
imperfections, including metal stamped print
lines, before a ProPress fitting is installed.
