Press connection technology by Viega
Pressing pipes with press connector systems from Viega
Connections for reliability, convenience and hygiene
Welcome to the world of Viega – where innovation meets precision. Our vision is to shape the future of building technology by putting perfection into every connection. Our press connector systems are more than just your average press fit fitting, we combine safety, drinking water hygiene and energy efficiency with unrivalled convenience. We are setting new standards with our pressing technology, which creates robust, efficient and seamless connections in seconds without any need for conventional soldering or welding.
The advantages of Viega at a glance
Time savings
Using the pressing technique to connect piping reduces installation time significantly. Much less effort is required compared to conventional methods such as welding or soldering and it can even be used in hard-to-reach areas. The system elements can be joined together in less than 20 seconds, reducing assembly time by up to 80 %.
Reliability
With our stringent quality standards, high-quality materials and continuous innovations, we ensure reliable press connections. The Viega SC-Contur feature makes any inadvertently unpressed connections clearly visible. It is included in all press connectors and enables a centralised leakage test to be performed.
Cost efficiency
The perfect symbiosis of quality and economic efficiency. Viega press connection technology is the effective way to save time and money. Not only does it eliminate the special steps associated with processes such as welding or soldering, but the pressing method also makes the system less prone to faults and therefore more durable than the alternatives.
Safety
No flames or fumes are generated when pressing pipe connections and the process is absolutely fireproof. This reduces the risks posed by flying sparks or human error – a major advantage, especially in sensitive or hard-to-reach environments. It also minimises the need for special health and safety measures and permits.
Areas of application for Viega press connection technology
The advantages of press connection technology are not limited to specific areas of application. The cold press connection technology is suitable for most pipe connections. Our press technology can be used for copper pipes, steel tubes, MLCP pipes and stainless steel pipes. Get an overview of the possible fields of application and arrange a no-obligation consultation with your contact person to explore your specific needs.
Press connection technology really is this easy
Our cold press connection technology enables you to work efficiently whatever the situation. The easy handling saves a mountain of work and time compared to conventional installation methods:
- Cut the pipe to length, deburr and clean it, and mark the connector insertion depth.
- Attach the connector to the pipe and apply the press jaw or press ring.
- Force-fit the Viega press connector with a Viega Pressgun.
In three simple assembly steps, you will have created a stable and reliable connection that is immediately ready to bear the load. In contrast to welding or soldering, this technique eliminates the need for repetitive work steps, cooling phases and fire watches, enabling assembly to be carried out during actual operation.

This is what makes Viega press connection technology so special
The Viega SC-Contur
The distinguishing feature of Viega pressing technology is that it offers a clear competitive advantage over other press fit fittings and other installation methods with its combination of fast assembly, reliability and safety. A key element here is the Viega SC-Contur. Thanks to its “leaky when unpressed” function, it makes unpressed connectors immediately visible during a leakage test. By detecting unpressed connections, the SC-Contur makes a significant contribution to quality assurance. It ensures that all connections in the system meet the required standards, increasing efficiency during installation and reducing the risk of errors. If connectors with SC-Contur are used throughout, the leak tightness of the entire system can be monitored with a centralised leakage test. There is no need for a time-consuming visual inspection of individual connections, reducing the amount of work and the risk of leaks to a minimum. This means that tests can be carried out without any problems even in the case of particularly large projects.
