Press connector with Smart Connect Feature
Inadvertently unpressed connections become visibly leaky when the system is filled.
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

Dimensions
d25–63, Tapping valves: d63–200

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
