Just because a fitting uses press technology doesn't mean it's Viega press technology.

 

Only Viega offers the patented Smart Connect feature. You can spot a genuine Viega fitting by the colored dots, green, yellow or white.

 

If you don't see the dots, you don't have an authentic Viega ProPress fitting with the Smart Connect feature.
 

A green, yellow or white dot identifies a Viega fitting with the Smart Connect feature.

 Safety is priority at Viega
All Viega ProPress fittings are designed with cylindrical pipe guides to keep the pipe straight and protect the sealing element during assembly.

 

Fittings that do not have cylindrical pipe guides risk making an unsecure connection. Without the pipe guides, too, installers can possibly damage the sealing element.

 

Viega fittings are pressed before, after and on top of the sealing element in a single step, which creates a permanent connection that is secure and guaranteed to last.

 Security under pressure

In pressure testing a system after all fittings have been installed, Viega recommends a step test to ensure that all connections have been pressed.

 

Testing the system at full pressure first may result in a false positive reading. By testing at a lower pressure first, Viega’s patented Smart Connect feature will identify which fittings have been missed. Viega recommends the Smart Connect feature be tested at 15 to 85 psi when testing with water or 1/2 to 85 psi when testing with air.

 

After ensuring that all connections have been correctly pressed, installers may increase the pressure test to full system test requirements.		In pressure testing a system after all fittings have been installed, Viega recommends a step test to ensure that all connections have been pressed.
