IM-PP 724607 0320 ProPress
■ As long as the tube is properly prepped and marked
and the tting is installed according to Viega’s ProPress
Product Instructions, if there is any deection present
after the installation of the tting, the connection is
still acceptable and meets Viega’s manufacturing
specications for proper installation and warranty.
■ Deection of a press connection has no eect on the
integrity of the system, and it can be pressure tested in
accordance with the ProPress Product Instructions.
Push-Pull Method
▶ Rings = Push on press tool.
▶ Jaws = Pull on press tool.
The press tool can be feathered using the trigger as needed to apply
pulling or pushing force to control deection.
2.5.10.1 Controlling Deection
Deection while pressing can be minimized by utilizing the following
installation practices.
Alternate Press Directions
▶ Press one end of tting.
▶ Make second press on other end of tting from the opposite side.
Site conditions permitting.
Re-Press
▶ Press the tting, once on each side (that is, re-press the tting a
second time on the opposite side). Pressing the same connection
from the opposite side will usually straighten misalignment between
the tube and tting.
■ When pressing overhead piping, it may be inconvenient to alternate
sides for each press.
■ The natural weight of the piping plus pressing on opposite sides at a
45 degree angle should adequately eliminate deection.
■ This technique can also be used for any horizontal piping and also
when working above the piping.
