Viega ProPress 2½" to 4" Fittings
For Hard Copper Tubing
Viega products are designed to be
installed by licensed and trained plumbing
and mechanical professionals who are
familiar with Viega products and their installation.
Installation by non-professionals may void
Viega LLC's warranty.
DANGER!
Read and understand all instructions
for installing ProPress fittings. Failure
to follow all instructions may result in extensive
property damage, serious injury, or death.
Cut copper tubing at right angles using
1
displacement-type cutter or fine-toothed steel saw.
Keep end of tubing a minimum of 4" away from
2
the contact area of the vise to prevent possible
damage to the tubing in the press area.
Remove burr from inside and outside of tubing to
3
prevent cutting sealing element.
4
Check seal and grip ring for correct fit. Ensure
sealing element is free of cuts and damage. Do
not use oils or lubricants.
For applications requiring Viega ProPress
with FKM or HNBR sealing elements,
remove the factory-installed EPDM sealing
element and replace with an FKM or HNBR sealing
element. See Changing Sealing Elements Product
Instructions.

While turning slightly, slide press fitting onto tubing to
the marked depth. End of tubing must contact stop.
Once the assembly is completed, it is recommended
that the depth marking still be visible.

ProPress 2½" to 4" fitting connections must be
performed with rings that are compatible with
fittings. Do not mix actuators and rings from
different manufacturers. Use of ProPress XL rings
and/or actuator (for bronze fittings) will result in an
improper connection. See Tool Operator's Manual
for proper tool instructions.
CAUTION!
Use only rings that are compatible with
ProPress 2½" to 4" fittings.
■
Use of incompatible rings will result in an improper
connection.
■ Do not mix actuators and rings from different
manufacturers.
■ Do not use rings intended for 2½" to 4" Bronze
fittings.

Pressure Testing with Smart Connect
Unpressed connections are located by pressurizing
the system with air or water. When testing with
water the proper pressure range is 15 psi to 85
psi. When testing with compressed air the proper
pressure range is ½ psi to 45 psi maximum. If testing
with compressed air, use an approved leak-detect
solution. Following a successful pressure test, the
system may be pressure tested up to 200 psi with air
or up to 600 psi with water.
Testing for unpressed connections
using Smart Connect technology is
not a replacement for pressure testing
requirements of local codes and standards.
