Flow-optimised press connector system made of non-alloy steel 1.0308 with an externally galvanised zinc- nickel coating for black, galvanised, industrially painted and powder-coated steel pipes.
The system is intended for use in industrial and heating systems and is a replacement for welded and threaded connections in new installations and repairs. It is not suitable for use in drinking water installations. For this reason, pipes and connectors are labelled with a black symbol stating 'not drinking water'.
The piping system must not be used for fuel gases in accordance with DVGW G 260. The connectors may only be pressed with Megapress press rings and jaws.
Flow optimised, press connector fittings up to 4”, with connectors manufactured from non-alloy steel 1.0308 for seamless, welded, galvanized, epoxy resin coated, industrially painted, steel pipes (medium/heavy) in accordance with DIN EN 10255 (BS 1387) and DIN EN 10220. The fittings shall be supplied and manufactured by Viega and may only be pressed with Viega press machines (e.g. Pressgun 6+ or Pressgun Picco 6+).
Sealing element:
A cutting ring, a separator ring and an EPDM (polished black) profile sealing element are included in the bead of the press connector. The cutting ring cuts into the pipe during pressing and ensures a force-locked connection.
During insertion of the pipe, and later during the pressing, the separator ring protects the sealing element from damage.
Press connectors:
The press connectors are equipped with the Viega SC-Contur, which is a safety technology approved by Kitemark, and ensures that the connection is guaranteed to be leaking in an unpressed state. In this way, inadvertently unpressed connections are noticed immediately during a leakage test.
The connectors may only be pressed with Viega press machines with constant pressing force (e.g. Pressgun 6 Plus).
Viega guarantees that unpressed connections are visible during a leakage test:
Operating conditions
Operating temperature max. 110 °C / 230 °F
Operating pressure max. 1.6 MPa (PN16) / 1600 kPa / 16 bar / 232 PSI
Press connector material
Steel 1.0308 Silicon bronze: CC246E / CuSi4Zn9MnP
Protection against external corrosion
Thanks to a zinc-nickel coating the press connectors are optimally protected against corrosion – e.g. when condensation forms in cooling systems. The pipe being used should be protected with suitable corrosion prevention – observe manufacturer's information. Pipes and pipe connectors should be insulated in the same way in accordance with the general rules of engineering.
