Profipress S

Press connector with SC‑Contur
Inadvertently unpressed connections are noticed immediately during a leakage test.
Viega guarantees the detection of unpressed connections in the following pressure ranges:
Min. water pressure: 0.1 MPa / 100 kPa / 1 bar / 14.5 PSI
Max. water pressure: 0.65 MPa / 650 kPa / 6.5 bar / 94.3 PSI
Min. air pressure: 22 hPa / 2.2 kPa / 22 mbar / 0.3 PSI
Max. air pressure: 0.3 MPa / 300 kPa / 3 bar / 43.5 PSI

Sealing elements
FKM (fluorocarbon rubber), matt black, pre-​assembled
The use of Profipress S and Profipress connectors with FKM sealing elements in potable water and gas installations is not permitted!

Notice
The sealing materials of the press connector system are subject to thermal ageing, which depends on the media temperature and the operating time.
The higher the media temperature, the faster the thermal ageing of the sealing material progresses.
In the case of special operating conditions, e.g. industrial heat recovery systems, it is necessary to compare the specifications of the appliance manufacturer with the specifications of the press connector system.
Before using the press connector system beyond the areas of application described or if in doubt about the correct selection of material, please contact Viega.

Tools
The functional safety of Viega press connector systems depends primarily on the faultless condition of the press tools used. Viega recommends the use of Viega press tools for pressing Viega press connectors. Viega press tools have to be regularly maintained by authorised service partners.

Areas of application
Solar installations (flat plate/vacuum collector)
District heat supply systems
Low-​pressure steam systems
Use for systems with additives (e.g. anti-​corrosion or anti-​freeze agents in heating water) or areas of application other than those described must be approved by Viega.

Note
Use of the system for areas of application and media other than those described must be agreed in consultation with Viega! Detailed information about applications, restrictions and national standards and directives can be found in the product information, either printed or on the Viega website.
