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 Pure Flow Press fittings.
Failure to follow all instructions may result in extensive property damage,
serious injury, or death.
-
Square off tubing to proper length. Uneven, jagged, or irregular cuts will produce unsatisfactory connections.
-
Insert PureFlow Press fitting with attached sleeve into tubing and engage fully.
-
Ensure full tubing insertion at view holes in attached press sleeve. Full insertion means tubing must be completely visible in at least two view holes and partially visible in the one.
If using hand tools
continue with steps 4 to 8. If using power tools skip to steps 9 to 12.
Pressing with a Hand Tool -
For the 1″ tool, open the tool handles fully (thumb grip is available to maintain open jaw). Then close tool jaws to engage ratchet (ensure that thumb grip is returned fully forward before closing jaws).
-
Position the Pure Flow press tool perpendicular over the press sleeve, resting it against the tool locator ring. For 1″ tool, close tool jaws to engage ratchet (ensure that thumb grip is returned fully forward before closing jaws). Make sure the Pure Flow press tool is properly aligned (see step 7 if it is not)
The tool locator ring
must be in the factory-installed position while making a press to ensure a
consistent leak-proof connection. It may be necessary to rotate the tool
locator ring to avoid interference between the ring and tool. -
Close handles, using trigger to reduce grip span if desired.
-
If the Pure Flow press tool is not properly aligned with the locator ring, use the emergency release (using a screw driver to turn the emergency release) to open the press tool. Once released, align the Pure Flow press tool properly and go back to step 5.
WARNING!
The connection is not leak-proof when the tool has been opened by emergency release. The tool locator ring must be present to ensure a proper Pure Flow Press connection. -
Extend the Pure Flow press tool handle and continue ratcheting until automatic tool release occurs at the proper compression force.
CAUTION!
Do not press twice
Pressing with a Power Tool
-
Insert the appropriate Pure Flow press jaw into the press tool and push in the holding pin until it locks.
-
Open jaw and position perpendicular over press sleeve, resting it against the tool locator ring.
The tool locator ring
must be in the factory-installed position while making a press to ensure a
consistent leak-proof connection. It may be necessary to rotate the tool
locator ring to avoid interference between the ring and tool. -
Start the pressing process; hold the trigger until the jaw has automatically released.
-
When press connection is complete, open and remove the jaw.
