Cold press pipeline fittings for use with copper gas pipes.
Suitable for gases, domestic and commercial liquid gas in the gas phase, heating oil pipelines, diesel fuel pipelines, compressed air systems.
Press connector fittings (d12-64) with connectors and pipes manufactured from copper, gunmetal and silicon bronze, in accordance with DIN EN 1057 and DVGW worksheet GW 392.
Suitable for:
Sealing element:
Hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) sealing element guarantees that the press connections have the required degree of sealing, even where the pipe surface is rough.
Press connectors:
The connection is made through a double press connection - both before and after the sealing element and permanently connected to the pipe during pressing. The sealing element is not deformed during pressing. Viega's distinctive hexagonal pressing pattern bonds fitting and pipe and provides the mechanical strength for the connection.
The connectors may only be pressed with Viega press machines with constant pressing force (i.e. Pressgun 6+, Picco 6+).
With SC‑Contur, any connections which remain un-pressed become visible when the system is filled. The SC‑Contur is certified and fulfils the requirements of DVGW worksheet G 5614, point 4.4.1, connectors with forced leakage.
Viega guarantees that unpressed connections are visible during a leakage test:
Viega Profipress G fittings are offered in various configurations, including:
Corrosion resistance:
Depending on the area of use, corrosion protection measures may be necessary. The manufacturer suggests over-ground pipelines and fittings in rooms which do not normally require external corrosion protection.
They suggest exceptions in the following cases:
The manufacturer recommends that the following regulations are followed:
The connectors may only be pressed with Viega press machines with constant pressing force (e.g. Pressgun 6+, Picco 6+, Pressgun 4E/ 4B).
