Press connector system with press connectors made of copper and silicon bronze tested in acc. with DVGW worksheet W 534 with DVGW test seal and pipes made of copper in acc. with EN 1057 in acc. with DVGW worksheet GW 392.Suitable for drinking water installations in acc. with DIN 1988.For dimensionally stable concealed and pre-wall installations of manifold and riser pipes in Viega component assembly.
Press connectorsAll sizes with
SC‑Contur - connections, which remain unpressed become visible when the system is filled. The
SC‑Contur is certified and fulfils the requirements of DVGW worksheet W
534, Point 12.14, Connectors with forced leakage.
During leakage tests with water, Viega guarantees the identification of unpressed connections in the pressure range 0.1
MPa–0.65
MPa, in the case of a dry leakage test with compressed air or noble gases from 22
hPa–0.3
MPa.

Use of press toolsThe functional safety of the Viega press connector systems is primarily dependent on the perfect condition of the press tools and press machines used. For this reason, for the production of press connections, we recommend the use of Viega press tools and their regular inspection by authorised service points.
Technical dataPress connectors and components are constantly being optimised. If required, the current Z and installation dimensions can be obtained from the download area of the Viega website:
