Manufacturer, pipe dimension, batch, approval markings (DVGW), white dot on press end, white rectangle with inscription »FKM«.


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:

  • Minimum water pressure: 0.1 MPa/ 1 bar/ 14.5 PSI.
  • Maximum water pressure: 0.65 MPa/ 6.5 bar/ 94.3 PSI.
  • Minimum air pressure: 22 hPa/ 22 mbar/ 0.3 PSI.
  • Maximum air pressure: 0.3 MPa/ 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.
